    Are there docs for Umbraco admin front-end?

    I am building my own section on my Umbraco admin suite, a custom data collection area for some forms I built on the site.

    Are there any docs on developing for the admin suite front-end? i.e. the templates, how angular is being used and what custom directives there are, etc.

    Specifically, right now I'd like to reuse the datepicker that's used for "publish date".

    I can see its template is here:

    \umbraco\Views\propertyeditors\datepicker\datepicker.html

    .... but I feel I'm just hunting and pecking, I'm wondering if there are any docs written up.

    Hi Angie

    There is some documentation here http://umbraco.github.io/Belle/#/api

    And there is a tutorial on how to create a property editor as well.

    Hope this helps.

    /Jan

    Well, I've had a look through, but I think I need a more general guide / introduction.

    Is there anything along the lines of "this is how you add a page for your section (application) - this is the title, these are the tabs, this is how you use the built-in Umbraco property editors, this is how routing is set up" etc?

    Based on info from the "Getting Started" thread, demo project and various blog posts, I've managed to add a new section (which shows up as [dataCollectionSection] rather than the name of the section that appears in applications.config, I don't know why), and I managed to add two tree nodes, and found that I can add a template by putting stuff into [pluginName]/backoffice/[TreeName]/edit.html

    I've tried editing Dashboard.config, hoping I could point it at a default template - but that doesn't seem to have any effect. I've tried editing trees.config hoping to get the label for the section to be nicer, but that doesn't seem to have any effect either.

    Hi Angie

    No I'm afraid that more thorough documentation does not currently exist.

    But is there something specific you're trying to achieve? Perhaps we can figure it out together.

    Cheers, Jan
