Not sure if this has been asked with these specific parameters but I know I have seen simiolar posts and none answered my particular proposed package.
Using Umbraco 7.1.1 and .net 4.5 and a third party library
I want to build a package where all of the functionality is encapsulated in the Macro Partials
I want to be able to add a third party library to retrieve third party data
I want to use custom controllers, models and strongly typed views
Now I know some of this is possible, but
I would have to inherit from an Umbraco library inside the third party library to allow for this and building a dependency on Umbraco would mean I would have 2 way dependencies and I really dont want that
And I would have to use the doctype name = controller name, template name = ActionResult name solution, beacuse I dont beleive I can have custom controllers and models with Macro Partials
I think I have read the correct documentation on this so I dont think this is possible right now but heres hoping
Why do you want to use macro partials? If you just use views you can use the route hijacking solution. If you want some good route hijacking examples have a look at the Hybrid Framework. It's still for v6 (v7 coming soon), but route hijacking still works the same.
I have the solution you proposed working so its not a case of it wont work for me.
If I am building a package as a solution i want it to be easy to use and unobtrusive. I also want the content editor to have an easy time and not have to deal with alot of templates and doctypes for no reason
Encapsulating my functionality in a macro makes sense to me
The other issue around strongly typed views has no other solution than to inherit from the Umbraco class?
