    UmbracoHelper in Version 8.5?

    Hello All,

    I have about 200 run time errors just based on this UmbracoHelper. I have googled/forumed enough. But I just can't seem to find the correct equivalent of this below line(s).

    Any links to the documentation or solutions will be of great help. Thanks!

    var umbracoHelper = new Umbraco.Web.UmbracoHelper(Umbraco.Web.UmbracoContext.Current);
        var rootNodes = umbracoHelper.TypedContentAtRoot();

    Hi Ram, it depends on where you're accessing the helper, and what you're using it for, generally though I'd lean on DI and inject the helper:

    private readonly UmbracoHelper _helper;
    
    public MyClass(UmbracoHelper helper) => _helper = helper;
    

    That said though, there doesn't appear to be a TypedContentAtRoot method on the UmbracoHelper class in v8 (it did exist in v7)

    Given that, you could do something like this:

    IEnumerable<MyType> myTypedNodes = _helper.ContentAtRoot().OfType<MyType>();
    

    It is usually possible to get the same values from other places rather than using the UmbracoHelper - IPublishedContentQuery also exposes the ContentAtRoot method, and (I'm guessing) would be a lighter dependency

    Hi @Nathan,

    Thanks a lot for your response! For now, this code is in a dll.

    I shall try it out.

    Appreciate your help!
