Just fooled around with the new Delivery API in the current RC of V12.
But when playing with the API i noticed that document types are not part of the generated schema for swagger. I was hoping they would be visible, as to use TS generator for swagger to generate my client and types, so i won't have to do it by hand.
Does anyone know if this is a feature that might be added at some point, or am i just supposed to spend hours/days manually keeping my headless solution up to date?
Thats right, but as long as contetTypes aren't a part of the schema, a TS generator for a client, wont now the types and it wont be possible to automaticly get strongly typed data.
The way I do (planned) is that when a page is published I send the id of the page to an API. This API connect to Umbraco (v12) and get the json from it.
It will be saved in a database and the client (website) connect to the API and request the page.
In this way I can crash the Umbraco (if I want) or update it without any downtime.
This wouldn't work in our setup.
Like Steffen, I need to create strongly-typed models (using OpenAPI) that can be consumed by i.e. a frontend-application. If the delivery API doesn't support this, I would probably have to do my own mappings and create custom viewmodels that will work using OpenAPI.
It's just a bit too much double-work and I would really much want Umbraco to handle this in a nice way.
Will document types, be part of the schema in the new Delivery API?
Hi all,

If you look for "contentType" in the json returned by Umbraco - then you will have the documenttype that are being used for the current page.
In "properties" is all the component you are using on the documenttype.

Ah I see... I am also looking at Umb12 with headless but I go another route with it to get more control on content and stability
Did you find a way to do this? I am waiting to use the new delivery API until this is possible. Thanks.

Sometimes you need to see Umbraco as a platform to extend and not as a system that gives everything for you :)
