Installation

At the moment, it is best to use this on a brand new empty umbraco site. You can create your empty site and install QuickBlocks using these commands. You should be able to paste it all into the command line.

dotnet new -i Umbraco.Templates

# Create solution/project
dotnet new sln --name "MySolution"
dotnet new umbraco --force -n "MyProject" --friendly-name "Administrator" --email "admin@example.com" --password "1234567890" --development-database-type SQLite

Data Attributes

Here are some examples

Home Page and Block List Property

<div data-content-type-name="Home Page" 
     data-prop-name="Main Content" 
     data-prop-type="[BlockList] Main Content"
     data-list-name="Main Content">
  ...
</div>

Add a row

<section data-row-name="Simple Link">
...
</section>

Add a property to the row

<a href="#" data-prop-name="Link">My Link</a>

<img src="#" data-prop-name="Image" />

<h2 data-prop-name="Image">Hello</h2>

<p data-prop-name="Description">
     My content in here
</p>

Specify a different data type

<h2 data-prop-name="Title" data-prop-type="Richtext editor">

Use an image as a background image

<header style="background-image: url('[!image!]')" data-row-name="Header" data-prop-name="Image" data-replace-marker="[!image!]" data-replace-inner="false" data-prop-type="Image Media Picker">
     ...
</header>
<a href="#" data-prop-name="Social Links" 
     data-prop-type="Multi URL Picker" 
     data-multiple="true" 
     data-replace-attribute="class"  
     data-replace-inner="true" 
     data-replace-marker="[!name!]" 
     data-prop-value=".Name">
          <i class="fa fa-[!name!]"></i>
</a>

Create a list property inside a row

In the sub list items, we don't need to specify the property location, we only do that for row or page properties.

<div data-row-name="Services">
     <h2 class="title" data-prop-name="Title">We build awesome products</h2>
     <h5 class="description" data-prop-name="Description">This is the paragraph where you can write more details </h5>
     <div data-sub-list-name="Service List" 
          data-prop-name="Services" 
          data-prop-type="[BlockList] Service List" 
          data-list-inline="false">
          
          <div data-item-name="Service Item">
               <h4 class="info-title" data-prop-name="Title">1. Design</h4>
               <p data-prop-name="Description">blah blah blah</p>
               <a data-prop-name="Link" href="#pablo">Find more...</a>
          </div>
     </div>
</div>
