Umbraco Dictionary Extension

An extension to the UmbracoHelper with several ease of life improvements

Using the new method Umbraco.GetDictionaryValueAndCreateDictionaryItem(string key, string fallback="") you can create dictionary items code first by simply requesting them in your code. It's no longer necessary to manually create the dictionary items under Umbraco → Settings.

"Folders" in the dictionary is created based on the name of the key, example:

The key "Foo.Bar.Key" will be placed in Dictionary → "Foo" → "Bar"

The method has 3 "creation modes":

  • "key": This will initialize the dictionary item with the dictionary key stored in the dictionary (This is the default mode)
  • "fallback": This will initialize the dictionary item with the fallback value stored in the dictionary
  • "empty": This will initialize the dictionary item without a value

The creation mode can be set by modifying the app.config key: "KXB.Umbraco.UmbracoDictionaryExtension.CreationMode"

Using Umbraco.GetDictionaryItemsForPrefix(string prefix) or GetDictionaryValuesForPrefix(string prefix) you can retrieve dictionary values for a given prefix.

Example: Umbraco.GetDictionaryItemsForPrefix("Foo.") could return dictionary items with the following keys:

  • "Foo.Bar"
  • "Foo.Foo"
  • "Foo.Foo.Bar"

etc

App config keys and their usage: XB.Umbraco.UmbracoDictionaryExtension.CreationMode" determines what values is stored in newly created keys. Valid options are "key" (default), "fallback", "empty" "KXB.Umbraco.UmbracoDictionaryExtension.SeparationSymbol" determines which symbol is used to separate "folders" in the names of dictionary keys. Default value is "."
