    Create DataType programmitcally Umbraco V8.5.2

    Hey@all,

    is there an easier way to create a new property like nested content programmatically?

    I tried a little bit with the DataTypeService, but i think there is a way, easier than creating a lot of nested objects.

    I think a little example would be very helpful. 

        var dataType = new DataType(new DataEditor(new DebugDiagnosticsLogger()));
var existingDataType = new DataType(dataType.Editor);

existingDataType.Level = customDataType.Level;
existingDataType.Path = customDataType.Path;
existingDataType.CreateDate = customDataType.CreateDate;
existingDataType.CreatorId = customDataType.CreatorId;
existingDataType.DeleteDate = customDataType.DeleteDate;
existingDataType.ParentId = customDataType.ParentId;
existingDataType.SortOrder = customDataType.SortOrder;
existingDataType.UpdateDate = customDataType.UpdateDate;
existingDataType.Key = customDataType.Key;
existingDataType.Name = customDataType.Name;

if(customDataType.EditorAlias.Equals("Umbraco.NestedContent"))
    existingDataType.Editor = new NestedContentPropertyEditor(null, new Lazy<PropertyEditorCollection>());

if(customDataType.EditorAlias.Equals("Umbraco.NestedContent"))
      existingDataType.Configuration = new Umbraco.Web.PropertyEditors.NestedContentConfiguration()
      {
            ConfirmDeletes = customDataType.Configuration.ConfirmDeletes ?? false,
            ContentTypes = customDataType.Configuration.ContentTypes.Select(c => new                   Umbraco.Web.PropertyEditors.NestedContentConfiguration.ContentType()
      {
          Alias = c.ncAlias,
          Template = c.nameTemplate,
          TabAlias = c.ncTabAlias
      }).ToArray(),
      HideLabel = customDataType.Configuration.HideLabel ?? false,
      MaxItems = customDataType.Configuration.MaxItems,
      MinItems = customDataType.Configuration.MinItems,
      ShowIcons = customDataType.Configuration.ShowIcons ?? true
};

    Solution

    var editor = propertyEditors.FirstOrDefault<IDataEditor>((IDataEditor x) =>
                x.Alias == customDataType.EditorAlias);

            var existingDataType = services.DataTypeService.GetAll().FirstOrDefault(d => d.Key.Equals(customDataType.Key));

            if (existingDataType == null)
            {
                existingDataType = new DataType(editor)
                {
                    Name = customDataType.Name
                };
            }
