    Create web application with Umbraco as base platform

    Hi,

    I know that Umbraco is more then a CMS and that you can extend it in many ways to fit your needs.

    But are there some tutorials where they explain and show how to create a web application with Umbraco as a base platform?

    I mean there will be no content output only the backend will be used.

    I was thinking of creating a jobplanner in ASP.NET MVC with Entity Framework but then I think maybe Umbraco can be handy for this.

    Anyone that has expirience in this?

    Is it common to use Umbraco for this some sort of projects? Are there downsides?

    /Michael

    Hi Michael,

    I have some experience in creating API for mobile applications with Umbraco. And I would say that Umbraco is good, it easy handled a lot of data and users.

    I think it's possible create jobplanner with Umbraco, it has a lot of events and scheduled tasks out of the box.

    https://our.umbraco.org/wiki/install-and-setup/scheduled-tasks/

    https://our.umbraco.org/documentation/Reference/Events/

    The main question is how to customize Umbraco backend? Are you experienced in Angular?

    Cheers, Alex

    Hi alex,

    I have no experience with angularjs but next month I take the umbraco masterclass of extending umbraco.

    But I was already taking a look at some points to see if it was possible.

    So what do you do to create a API on umbraco? Is it like some packages you can install like mercello? Is that the way to go or... ?

    Hi Michael,

    Try to use UmbracoApiController:

    https://our.umbraco.org/documentation/reference/routing/webapi/

    You don't need any packages, just create usual MVC Controller and inherit it from UmbracoApiController.

    public class ExampleController : UmbracoApiController

    Thanks, Alex

    Alex,

    What I mean was if the package like mercello is an example of building an api on umbraco.

    So it has its own section in the backend with is controlled by a custom api controller.

    hi,

    Sorry to barge.

    I have a problem in changing direction. It remains the same direction for a time and then change

    @functions{
public string PageDirection(IPublishedContent page)
{
    var lang = page.GetCulture().TwoLetterISOLanguageName.ToLower();

    if (lang == "ar")
    {

        return "rtl";
    }

    return "ltr";
}

public string GetLangauge(IPublishedContent page)
{
    return page.GetCulture().TwoLetterISOLanguageName.ToLower();
}

    }
