How can I specify different configuration for the back office based on cloud instance/site?
In my back office I have a custom property editor which accesses another web site's web api. I have a need to vary the url for this other web site based on which cloud site I'm on (local, dev, or live). How can I do this?
I have already specified the url's in my web.config, web.development.xdt.config, and web.live.xdt.config. Is there a way to transfer this information from the server side to the client side back office?
I've got the config transforms under control, and it's working well in the back-end of my "front-end" site. And I'm passing the config data (the url) to my client side javascript code via Razor.
The challenge is the client-side Angular code for the back-office custom property editor. How can I replace the "domain" string literal in the code snippet below with values from web.config (or somewhere else)?
angular.module('umbraco')
.controller('productid.editorcontroller', function($scope, $http) {
$scope.search = function(id) {
var domain = 'https://www.myothersite.com';
var url = domain + '/api/products/' + id;
$http.get(url)
.then(
function onSuccess(response) {
},
function onError(response) {
}
);
};
});
Umbraco provides access to something called Umbraco.Sys.Variables in angular which you can hook into during some of the startup events. In there you can add your own behaviour and as a result you might be able to put in the base URL of your API end point. Have a read, it might help :-) You could use the premise to read the domain from an AppSetting populated by a config transform.

Hi Tor!
Config transforms are your friend. There's documentation and videos about that feature here: https://our.umbraco.com/documentation/Umbraco-Cloud/Set-Up/Config-Transforms/
Hope this helps!

Hey Tor,
I wrote a post about something that might help with this.

Thanks Nik! I'll definitely look into this.
