We had a great conversation at the EPiServer Partner Close-Up conference with one and only Allan Thræn about future plans and such. And one of the topics we chatted about was that in our opinion no one really knows whether "EPiServer.DeveloperTools" package is safe to install to production environment or not. Will it do any harm? It's great for local development and probably staging also. But what about production? What exactly the package does, what it intercepts, mimics or changes in the running code?! Therefore I thought…

This blog post is describing configuration setup required to support dynamically generated area names for Razor Class Library Pages. This approach is used in AdminUI for DbLocalizationProvider for Asp.Net Core.…

App Content Localization [Route("api/[controller]")] public class AboutController : Controller { private readonly IStringLocalizer<AboutController> _localizer; public AboutController(IStringLocalizer<AboutController> localizer) { _localizer = localizer; } [HttpGet] public string Get() { return _localizer["About Title"]; } } And if you are working with Html content that shouldn't be escaped during rendering - you are using IHtmlLocalizer implementation that returns LocalizedHtmlString instance. public class BookController : Controller { private readonly IHtmlLocalizer<BookController&…

We joined forces together with my old pal and friend Arve Systad and made it possible to add translations to client side resources as well.

You will need to install DbLocalizationProvider.EPiServer.JsResourceHandler package from EPiServer feed and add corresponding <script> include in your markup file to fetch translations from the server: <script…
