Hi all, I have an internal v8 package, which I created to migrate our Umbraco 8 sites to 10+, and I now need to downgrade it to work on Umbraco 7; and as I've never made a package for v7 before, I was wondering if anyone has any tips or know of any gotchas/things I should look out for whilst downgrading it? 😬

No dependency injection out of the box, so lots of 
UmbracoContext.Current
for the content cache and 
ApplicationContext.Services
for misc services.
If it helps anything, I created a package for U7 that exposes existing content and media through an API: https://github.com/limbo-works/Limbo.Umbraco.MigrationsApi/blob/v1/main/src/Limbo.Umbraco.MigrationsApi/MigrationsController.cs Since it's in a controller, I have acces to 
UmbracoHelper
via the 
Umbraco
property, but I have to acces a service like the content type service via 
ApplicationContext.Services.ContentTypeService

Ah I'd forgotten how spoilt we are today with the lovely built in DI! I do remember using Autofac years ago, so I guess I'll have to re-learn that haha 😛 Thanks for the link to that package! That'll be a massive help!
Also, looking through the old v7 API docs, it seems like all of the services I used in v8 are present in v7, so if I wanted to use Autofac to inject them as I do in v8, would I need to manually register them in a 
IApplicationEventHandler
? Or would that be a rabbit hole of a bad time? 😬

I don't think I've used Autofac, but most likely you have to set up things manually. I've set up LightInject for DI before in U7, so maybe that will work?

Cheers mate, I'll have a poke around and see what's what 🙂
