How do you access IContent in a class in Umbraco 8?

I can access IPublishedContent no bother using dependency injection:

private readonly IUmbracoContextFactory _context;

public MyController(IUmbracoContextFactory context)
{
    _context = context;
}

public MyMethod(int currentNodeID)
{
   using (var cref = _context.EnsureUmbracoContext())
   {
      var cache = cref.UmbracoContext.Content;
      var currentNode = cache.GetById(currentNodeID);
    }
}

Just dont have a clue how to get IContent.

Hi Marc

Have you tried this:

using System.Web.Mvc;
using Umbraco.Core.Models;
using Umbraco.Core.Services;

namespace Umbraco814
{
    public class MyController
    {
        private IContentService _contentService;

        public MyController(IContentService contentService)
        {
            _contentService = contentService;
        }

        public ActionResult MyMethod(int currentNodeID)
        {
            IContent currentNode = _contentService.GetById(currentNodeID);
            return null;
        }
    }
}

I got this working in a class library with UmbracoCms.Core and UmbracoCms.Web nuget packages installed.

Cheers

Paul

Hi Paul,

Thanks for that, I must have had a brain freeze for not trying that.

Cheers,

Marc

Hi Marc

I got a notification on email that you asked about Descendants and Ancestors.

You can use the content service like this:

IContent currentNode = _contentService.GetById(currentNodeID);
IEnumerable<IContent> ancestors = _contentService.GetAncestors(currentNode);
IEnumerable<IContent> descendants = _contentService.GetPagedDescendants(currentNodeID, 0, 10, out long totalRecords);

Cheers

Paul
