Umbraco Repository Pattern

About

This skill provides comprehensive guidance on implementing the Repository Pattern in the Umbraco Backoffice, enabling developers to abstract data access from various sources like servers, offline databases, and Signal-R. It ensures proper separation of concerns by guiding the creation of Repositories, Data Sources, and Stores while enforcing critical security practices, specifically the use of generated OpenAPI clients instead of raw fetch calls to ensure authenticated API requests.

Key Features

• Standardized CRUD operation implementation using Umbraco's repository pattern.
• Enforcement of OpenAPI client integration for secure, authenticated API calls.
• Implementation patterns for Tree Repositories and hierarchical data structures.
• State management coordination between Repositories and Umbraco Contexts.
• Abstraction of data sources to improve code testability and long-term maintenance.
• 1 GitHub stars

Use Cases

• Building custom management dashboards that interact with external or internal APIs.
• Creating hierarchical tree structures for navigation or custom content types in the Backoffice.
• Refactoring direct API calls into a scalable and maintainable data access layer.
