    Custom properties

    All content and media items also contains a reference to all the data defined by their document type. Custom property access is done with the various methods of: GetPropertyValue

    Model.Content.GetPropertyValue(string)

    Returns the property value for the specified property alias

    @*Get the property with alias: "siteName" from the current page  *@
@Model.Content.GetPropertyValue("siteName")

    The result Type of this property value is object which is fine in most cases since when using the above syntax, Razor will automatically execute a ToString() on the result value.

    Model.Content.GetPropertyValue<T>(string)

    Returns the property value for the specified property alias converted to the specified output value.

    For example, to return the string result of "siteName" you would do:

    @(Model.Content.GetPropertyValue<string>("siteName"))

    Some property value converters support multiple return value formats. For example if a property value normally returns a comma separated value list like: "5677,3456,8776", then the property value converter for the property editor might support converting directly to an enumerable list of integers, for example:

    @(Model.Content.GetPropertyValue<IEnumerable<int>>("mediaIds"))

    Another example might be if a property editor stores a JSON value, it might support converting to a custom strongly typed model such as, or at the very least the JSON would be convertible to a JObject instance, for example:

    @(Model.Content.GetPropertyValue<NestedContentModel>("nestedContent"))

    or

    @(Model.Content.GetPropertyValue<JObject>("nestedContent"))

    Property Methods

    There are a few helpful methods to help check if a property exists, has a value or is null.

    Returns a boolean value representing if the IPublishedContent has a property with the specified alias.

    .HasValue(string propertyAlias)

    Returns a boolean value representing if the IPublishedContent property has had a value set.

    .IsNull(string propertyAlias)

    Returns a boolean value representing if the IPublishedContent property is Null.
