extending Umbraco with same UX
# help-with-umbraco

I’ve developed some Umbraco solutions, some of them with custom editors, but that’s it in terms of backoffice customization. Now, I’ve a project where I have to develop a custom section, tree and all the CRUD to some custom tables. I’ve checked all the docs about extending Umbraco backoffice but I think it lacks examples about custom pages and maintaining the UX present in all the backoffice. Does someone knows about public examples of custom implementations related to backoffice in GitHub or any other source? I’m a little lost here 😅

Can I point you to the package called Konstrukt? It'll save you all the boiler plate

Thanks Maarten. I’m checking that out since yesterday. Looks amazing as a product and probably a good addition to this project. However, the question remains, because using konstruct is paying because there is not much documentation/examples about extending backoffice as well.

Generally you use https://docs.umbraco.com/umbraco-cms/extending/customize-the-editing-experience for back-end docs and https://apidocs.umbraco.com/v9/ui#/api for the front-end UI docs to use the existing UI components

Konstrukt is made exactly for this entire description you give. Worth the money and there's good support if you can't figure something out. Docs are pretty extensive already https://docs.getkonstrukt.net/

in the spirit of alternatives.. https://github.com/TimGeyssens/UIOMatic (v10 supported is the latest I believe)

It has a pretty special license, make sure you are not affected before using it 🙂
m
goes without saying you should always check the license 🙂

Yeah, I’m definitely will go to investigate further about using it

That's very tactfully put Jesper.

@Matt Brailsford , I’ve send some questions regarding the konstrukt licensing. I don’t know if you manage this of course, but if you can help accelerate the process 🙏
