App.Data providing each content-type in an own stream

Warning ⚠️: New Docs Available

These are old docs and we haven't found the time to completely move them. You will find comprehensive new docs on docs.2sxc.org.

• live demo
• try the faq-with-categories-and-6-views App

Basically all content-types are automatically available, like

App.Data["content-type-name"]

For example, you could use it as follows:

var categories = CreateSource<ValueSort>(App.Data["Category"]);

or

// Sort by FullName
var sortedCats = CreateSource<ValueSort>(App.Data["Category"]);
sortedCats.Attributes = "Name";
Data.In.Add("Categories", sortedCats["Default"]);

or

// Just add the items which have the relationship to the category in the URL
var qsOfCat = CreateSource<RelationshipFilter>(App.Data["QandA"]);
qsOfCat.Relationship = "Categories";
qsOfCat.Filter = "[QueryString:Category]";
Data.In.Add("QandA", qsOfCat["Default"]);

or

public override void CustomizeData()
{
// new features in 6.1 - the App DataSource CreateSource<App> and also the RelationshipFilter
// Just add the items which have the relationship to the category in the URL
var qsOfCat = CreateSource<RelationshipFilter>(App.Data["QandA"]);
qsOfCat.Relationship = "Categories";
qsOfCat.Filter = "[QueryString:Category]";
Data.In.Add("QandA", qsOfCat["Default"]);
}
