App

A fully prepared IApp object letting you access all the data and queries in the current app.

public IApp App { get; }

Property Value

IApp

The current app

CmsContext

This Context tells you about the environment, such as

  • the current User
  • the Page
  • the View
  • the Site

It's supposed to replace direct access to Dnn or Oqtane object in Razor and WebAPI code, allowing hybrid code that works everywhere.

public ICmsContext CmsContext { get; }

Property Value

ICmsContext

Remarks

New in v11.11

Content

The content object of the current razor view - IF the current view has content. If the view is a list, it will return the first item. Will be null otherwise. To tell if it's the demo/default item, use IsDemoItem.

public dynamic Content { get; }

Property Value

dynamic

A IDynamicEntity object with the current content - or null.

Convert

Conversion helper for common data conversions in Razor and WebAPIs

public IConvertService Convert { get; }

Property Value

IConvertService

Remarks

Added in 2sxc 12.05

Data

The data prepared for the current Code. Usually user data which was manually added to the instance, but can also be a query.

public IBlockInstance Data { get; }

Property Value

IBlockInstance

An ToSic.Sxc.DataSources.IBlockInstance which is as IDataSource.

DynamicModel 

[PublicApi]
public dynamic DynamicModel { get; }

Property Value

dynamic

Edit

Helper commands to enable in-page editing functionality Use it to check if edit is enabled, generate context-json infos and provide toolbar buttons

public IEditService Edit { get; }

Header

The header object of the current razor view, if it's a list and has a header object. If it's a list and doesn't have a header (and no default), it will return null. To tell if it's the demo/default item, use IsDemoItem.

public dynamic Header { get; }

Log

The logger for the current Razor / WebApi which allows you to add logs to Insights.

public override ICodeLog Log { get; }

Resources

Resources for this Scenario. This is a dynamic object based on the IDynamicStack.

It will combine both the Resources of the View and the App. The View-Resources will have priority. In future it may also include some global Resources.

🪒 Use in Razor: @Resources.CtaButtonLabel

public dynamic Resources { get; }

Property Value

dynamic

Remarks

New in 12.03

Settings

Settings for this Scenario. This is a dynamic object based on the IDynamicStack.

🪒 Use in Razor: @Settings.ItemsPerRow

public dynamic Settings { get; }

Property Value

dynamic

Methods

AsAdam(ICanBeEntity, string)

Provides an Adam instance for this item and field

public IFolder AsAdam(ICanBeEntity item, string fieldName)

Parameters

item ICanBeEntity

The item - an IEntity, IDynamicEntity, ITypedItem etc. often Content or similar

fieldName string

The field name, like "Gallery" or "Pics"

Returns

IFolder

An Adam object for navigating the assets

AsDynamic(object)

Convert a dynamic entity and return itself again. This is so coders don't have to worry if the original object was an IEntity or a IDynamicEntity in the first place.

public dynamic AsDynamic(object dynamicEntity)

Parameters

dynamicEntity object

the original object

Returns

dynamic

a dynamic object for easier coding

AsDynamic(params object[])

Convert one or many Entities and Dynamic entities into an IDynamicStack

[PublicApi("Careful - still Experimental in 12.02")]
public dynamic AsDynamic(params object[] entities)

Parameters

entities object[]

one or more source object

Returns

dynamic

a dynamic object for easier coding

Remarks

New in 12.05

AsDynamic(string, string)

Take a json and provide it as a dynamic object to the code

public dynamic AsDynamic(string json, string fallback = null)

Parameters

json string

the original json string

fallback string

Alternate string to use, if the original json can't parse. Can also be null or the word "error" if you would prefer an error to be thrown.

Returns

dynamic

A dynamic object representing the original json. If it can't be parsed, it will parse the fallback, which by default is an empty empty dynamic object. If you provide null for the fallback, then you will get null back.

Remarks

Added in 2sxc 10.22.00

AsDynamic(IEntity)

Wraps an entity into a IDynamicEntity

public dynamic AsDynamic(IEntity entity)

Parameters

entity IEntity

the original object

Returns

dynamic

a dynamic object for easier coding

AsEntity(object)

Unwraps a dynamic entity or ITypedItem back into the underlying IEntity

public IEntity AsEntity(object dynamicEntity)

Parameters

dynamicEntity object

the wrapped IEntity

Returns

IEntity

A normal IEntity

AsList(object)

Converts a list of IEntity objects into a list of IDynamicEntity objects.

public IEnumerable<dynamic> AsList(object list)

Parameters

list object

typically a List/IEnumerable of Entities or DynamicEntities.
Can also be a IDataSource in which case it uses the default stream.

Returns

IEnumerable<dynamic>

a list of IDynamicEntity objects

Remarks

Added in 2sxc 10.21.00

CreateInstance(string, NoParamOrder, string, string, bool)

Create an instance of code lying in a file near this

public virtual dynamic CreateInstance(string virtualPath, NoParamOrder noParamOrder = default, string name = null, string relativePath = null, bool throwOnError = true)

Parameters

virtualPath string

path to the other code file to compile

noParamOrder NoParamOrder

see Convention: Named Parameters

name string

Override the class name to compile - usually not required as it should match the file name

relativePath string

optional relative path, will usually use the ToSic.Sxc.Code.Internal.IGetCodePath.CreateInstancePath

throwOnError bool

throw errors if compiling fails, recommended

Returns

dynamic

An object of the class in the file

Remarks

Note that the C# code which we are creating inherits from a standard base class such as Code12 or ToSic.Sxc.Code.DynamicCode then it will automatically be initialized to support App, AsDynamic etc.

CreateSource<T>(IDataSource, ILookUpEngine)

Create a IDataSource which will process data from the given stream.

configurationProvider ILookUpEngine

CreateSource<T>(IDataStream)

Create a IDataSource which will process data from the given stream.

public T CreateSource<T>(IDataStream source) where T : IDataSource

Parameters

source IDataStream

The stream which will be the default In of the new data-source.

Returns

T

A typed DataSource object
