    How to get multiple children from parent by ids?

    Hello,

    I am quite new to Umbraco and trying to get multiple children from parent by ids in custom api controller.

    I am manage to get all children by doing

    var content = UmbracoContext.Current.ContentCache.GetById(1114);
var items = content.Children.Select(c => CustomModel.GetFromContent(c));

    Thanks,

    Hi Vipul,

    That's how I would do it as well. Perhaps add a check to see if content is null, but otherwise it looks fine ;)

    var content = UmbracoContext.Current.ContentCache.GetById(1114);

if (content != null)
{

    var items = content.Children.Select(c => CustomModel.GetFromContent(c));

}

    To get all childrens of parent you just have to use Children property or Ancestors or descendents property which yields you all children of page

    just go to this site and link you will found all details regarding childrens.

    Thanks for the quick reply, but none of above help me to resolve my issue.

    What I am trying to do is, I have custom api controller extends UmbracoApiController and GetList method to return only those children whose id is mention in parameter

    [HttpGet]
public IEnumerable<CustomSummaryModel> GetList(int[] ids = { 1241, 1255, 1455 })
{
    var content = UmbracoContext.Current.ContentCache.GetById(1062);

    var items = content.Children.Select(c => CustomSummaryModel.GetFromContent(c)); // This return all children of parent '1062'

    return items;
}

    Hi Vipul,

    At the first statement inside the method, you're getting the content item with ID 1062. The IDs specified in the ids parameter are not used.

    Updating the code, it could look something like the code below:

    List<CustomSummaryModel> temp = new List<CustomSummaryModel>();

foreach (int id in ids)
{

    var content = UmbracoContext.ContentCache.GetById(id);
    if (content == null) continue;

    temp.AddRange(content.Children.Select(c => CustomSummaryModel.GetFromContent(c)));

}

return temp;
