    Is there a way to get all available mailing lists?

    Hi Markus.

    Is there a way i can get all available mailing lists, from either code or angluar?

    I am trying to make an Umbraco Forms WorkFlowType, with a custom attribute setting type, where the user can select the mailing list from a dropdown, instead of manually typing a number.

    I found a temporary solution.

    I found the nsServiceHelper after looking through ~/App_Plugins/NewsLetterStudio/assets/compiled folder.

    But i would like to know if there is a better approch, that are more future safe?

    I added mailinglist.html to ~/App_Plugins/UmbracoForms/Backoffice/Common/SettingTypes/

    <div ng-controller="Custom.SettingTypes.MailingListController">
        <select class="-full-width"
                ng-options="field.value as field.name for field in fields"
                ng-model="mailinglist"
                ng-change="changeValue()">
            <option value="">Choose a mailing list</option>
        </select>
    </div>
    

    Added javascript controller file to a package.manifest in a custom pluigin inside ~/App_Plugins/CustomPlugin/

    angular.module("umbraco").controller("Custom.SettingTypes.MailingListController",
        function ($scope, $routeParams, notificationsService, nsServiceHelper) {
    
            function init() {
    
                if ($scope.setting.value) {
                    $scope.mailinglist = $scope.setting.value;
                }
    
                var formId = $routeParams.id;
    
                if (formId === -1 && $scope.model && $scope.model.fields) {
    
                } else {
                    nsServiceHelper.http({
                        method: "GET",
                        url: "/backofficeApi/GetAllMailingLists"
                    }).success(function (response) {
                        $scope.fields = response;
                        console.log(response);
                        }).error(function () {
                            notificationsService.error("Load failed", "Could not load mailinglists from newsletter studio");
                    });
                }
            }
    
            $scope.changeValue= function () {
                $scope.setting.value = $scope.mailinglist;
            };
    
            init();
    
        });
    

    Now i can get the attribute setting inside a WorkFlowType

    [Umbraco.Forms.Core.Attributes.Setting("Mailing list", description = "Choose mailinglist to use", view = "mailinglist")]'
    public string MailingListId { get; set; }

    Hi!

    Hmm, nsServiceHelper is basically a "wrapper" around $http that adds some error-handling and stuff.

    Since you're only interested in the internal mailing lists (Newsletter Studios own and not any lists from a external Subscription Providers) I think that you're best of by creating your own API controller and return the mailing lists.

    You can get them using our "Service Locator", something like this:

    GlobalFactory.Current.MailingListRepository.GetAll()
    

    Hope this points you in the right direction?

    By the way, there is also some code that you can look at in our Contrib-project: https://github.com/enkelmedia/NewsletterStudioContrib/tree/master/Newsletter%20Studio%20V2/NewsletterStudioContrib/UmbracoForms this is stuff that I created for some Meetup-presentation some years ago but I think that there should be valuable pointers in there.
