Enterspeed property service

The Enterspeed property service has the role of mapping node data into usable objects for the data sources.

Our package already includes a default Enterspeed property service, that maps all properties including some meta-data that is present on all data sources. You can extend the meta-data, to include relevant data for your solution, on all data sources. Examples could be site settings or domain name data.

Custom Property Service

To extend the properties or meta-data on sources, you would need to create your custom property service. This is easily done by inheriting the default property service. In this example, all default behavior of the EnterspeedPropertyService is preserved but grants us the option to extend meta-data.

As you can see, the MapAdditionalProperties and MapAdditionalMetaData can be overridden. Here you only need to add your logic and include your own property + data. You can also override MapAdditionalMediaProperties and MapAdditionalMediaMetaData to extend media source entities.

Note that we in this example are using StringEnterspeedProperty. You can choose between multiple property types. (Array, boolean, number, object and so on.)

info

If you want different logic based on content type or other conditions, you should use Mappers instead.

Example

public class CustomPropertyService : EnterspeedPropertyService
{
public CustomPropertyService(EnterspeedPropertyValueConverterCollection converterCollection, IServiceProvider serviceProvider) : base(converterCollection, serviceProvider)
{
}

protected override void MapAdditionalProperties(Dictionary<string, IEnterspeedProperty> data, IPublishedContent content, string culture)
{
data.Add("mySpecialKey", new StringEnterspeedProperty("my value fetched from my business logic"));
}

protected override void MapAdditionalMediaProperties(Dictionary<string, IEnterspeedProperty> data, IPublishedContent content, string culture)
{
data.Add("mySpecialKey", new StringEnterspeedProperty("my value fetched from my business logic"));
}

protected override void MapAdditionalMetaData(Dictionary<string, IEnterspeedProperty> metaData, IPublishedContent content, string culture)
{
metaData.Add("mySpecialKey", new StringEnterspeedProperty("my value fetched from my business logic"));
}

protected override void MapAdditionalMediaMetaData(Dictionary<string, IEnterspeedProperty> metaData, IPublishedContent content, string culture)
{
metaData.Add("mySpecialKey", new StringEnterspeedProperty("my value fetched from my business logic"));
}
}

Registering your new property service

The property service is registered in Umbraco via an IComposer. The AddUnique extension method replaces the normal property service and implements your own.

Umbraco 9+

public class MyCustomComposer : IComposer
{
public void Compose(IUmbracoBuilder builder)
{
builder.Services.AddUnique<IEnterspeedPropertyService, CustomPropertyService>(ServiceLifetime.Transient);
}
}

Umbraco 8

[RuntimeLevel(MinLevel = RuntimeLevel.Run)]
public class MyCustomComposer : IUserComposer
{
public void Compose(Composition composition)
{
composition.RegisterUnique<IEnterspeedPropertyService, CustomPropertyService>();
}
}

You should now be able to see the data you have mapped, in the meta-data object of your data sources in Enterspeed.
