The Dutch Umbraco community is back

The Dutch Umbraco community is back! About 100 of us came together at STOOM in Apeldoorn for the very first Dutch Umbraco Alliance Festival. AI, Aspire, headless, a keynote I wasn't supposed to give, and a venue that practically had to kick us out at closing time. Here's my look back at the day.

AI is changing how I approach Umbraco development

Building a PDF metadata dashboard with AI made me reconsider when I reach for Umbraco's standard tools and when a custom extension is worth the maintenance.

Umbraco Management API Wonders

You may have heard me talk about Rick Dangerous, a 1989 game I reversed-engineered long ago, which can now be played directly on the web, thanks to WebAssembly. All it takes is one .wasm file, and a couple of .js files. Now, because rick-dangerous.org is running Umbraco, and because it is simpler to have everything in the same place, those files are managed as Umbraco media. So each time I rebuild the game, I need to update those media files. But browsing in the media section is a manual and tedious process. Can we do better? Umbraco Management API The Umbraco Management API is the API that was introduced in order to support the revamped back-office in a clean and independent way. And straight from the beginning, it was meant to be. First create a dedicated API user. Second, authenticate: CLIENT_ID=umbraco-back-office-rick-dangerous-api CLIENT_SECRET=***** API_URL=https://www.zpqrtbnk.net/umbraco/management/api/v1 TOKEN=$( \ curl -s $API_URL/security/back-office/token \ -d "client_id=$CLIENT_ID" \ -d "client_secret=$CLIENT_SECRET" \ -d 'grant_type=client_credentials' \ | jq -r .access_token ) If all goes well, the $TOKEN shell variable now contains your authentication token. We are going to define a simple helper method for invoking the API: curl_api() { METHOD=$1 shift API=$1 shift curl -s \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \ -X $METHOD \ $API_URL/$API "$@" fi } Let us test it by retrieving the authenticated user name: curl_api GET user/current | jq -r .name Now let's assume that the media item containing the WASM file has a given UUID that we have retrieved from the UI, and we want to update its file with the recently built file xrick/build/web/xrick.wasm. This is what it takes: MEDIA_WASM="11467372-23fb-4d45-818b-fc78edf889a6" FILE_WASM=xrick/build/web/xrick.wasm # get the media name (required for updates?) MEDIA_NAME=$( \ curl_api GET media/$MEDIA_WASM | jq -r .variants[0].name ) # create a UUID for the temporary file UUID=$(uuidgen) # upload the file as a temporary file curl_api POST temporary-file -F "Id=$UUID" -F "File=@./$FILE_WASM" # edit the media to remove the current file curl_api PUT media/$MEDIA_WASM \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d "{\"id\":\"$MEDIA_WASM\",\"values\":[{\"alias\":\"umbracoFile\",\"culture\":null,\"segment\":null,\"value\":{}}],\"variants\":[{\"culture\":null,\"segment\":null,\"name\":\"$MEDIA_NAME\"}]}" # edit the media again, with the temporary file curl_api PUT media/$MEDIA_WASM \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d "{\"id\":\"$MEDIA_WASM\",\"values\":[{\"alias\":\"umbracoFile\",\"culture\":null,\"segment\":null,\"value\":{\"src\":\"\",\"temporaryFileId\":\"$UUID\"}}],\"variants\":[{\"culture\":null,\"segment\":null,\"name\":\"$MEDIA_NAME\"}]}" And... that is all. You will want to add some error checking here and there, but basically, this is all it takes to fully script the update of a media file. The list of things that can be done this easily is huge—pretty much anything in fact. Which is absolutely impressive. Loving it, would recommend.
