About

Looking for some useful Orchard Core extensions? Here's a bundle solution of all of Lombiq's open-source Orchard Core extensions (modules and themes). Clone and try them out!

This is an Orchard Core Visual Studio solution that contains most of Lombiq's open-source Orchard modules and themes, as well as related utilities and libraries. Please keep in mind that only those extensions are included which use the latest released version of Orchard (i.e. the very cutting-edge ones depending on a nightly build are not yet here).

This also serves as an example of an ASP.NET Core web app using Orchard from NuGet.

Note that this solution also has an Orchard 1 counterpart, Lombiq's Open-Source Orchard Extensions.

Prerequisites and getting started

  • You need Node.js for building client-side assets in multiple projects. Check out Lombiq Node.js Extensions Readme for details.
  • To develop and test scripts written in PowerShell, install and use PowerShell 7 instead of Windows PowerShell (i.e., up to version 5.x). Static code analysis is only executed through PowerShell 7.
  • Since the extensions are included as git submodules when cloning this repo be sure to initialize submodules: When using a GUI this will most possibly happen by default, and when using the command line use the --recurse-submodules switch. If you cloned without initializing submodules, then you can run git submodule update --init --recursive to initialize them later.

Included Projects

Modules

Themes

Utilities

  • Lombiq.Hosting.MediaTheme.Targets: Provides automatic Media Theme package creation during build.
  • Lombiq.NodeJs.Extensions: Configurable and MSBuild-integrated frontend asset pipelines for SCSS, JS, MD, and external libraries implemented using npm scripts. Uses NPM Targets under the hood.
  • Lombiq.Npm.Targets: Provides automatic NPM package installation and a custom NPM command execution before building a .NET project. This way it is possible for example to manage assets (e.g. .scss files or images) in a folder that will be automatically compiled into the wwwroot folder on build, which then can be excluded from the version control system.
  • Lombiq.SetupExtensions: Extensions for setting up an Orchard Core application.

Testing

  • Lombiq.Tests: General and unit testing extensions and helpers, mostly for ASP.NET Core and Orchard Core. Also see our UI Testing Toolbox.
  • Lombiq.Tests.UI: Web UI testing toolbox mostly for Orchard Core applications. Everything you need to do UI testing with Selenium for an Orchard app is here.
  • Lombiq.Tests.UI.AppExtensions: UI testing-related configuration extensions for the web app under test. Note that the module depends on Helpful Libraries.
  • Lombiq.Tests.UI.Samples: Example UI testing project. The whole project is heavily documented to teach you how to write UI tests with the UI Testing Toolbox. It guides you through this process just like the Lombiq Training Demo for Orchard Core teaches Orchard Core and Orchard 1 development.
  • Lombiq.Tests.UI.Shortcuts: Provides some useful shortcuts for common operations that UI tests might want to do or check, e.g. turning features on or off, or logging in users. This way, UI tests needn't use multi-step UI processes to do these operations (and thus implicitly be coupled with and tests those features). Note that the module depends on Helpful Libraries.

Tools

  • Lombiq.Analyzers: .NET code analyzers and code convention settings for Lombiq projects, predominantly for Orchard Core apps but also any .NET apps. We use these to enforce common standards across all our .NET projects, including e.g. all of our open-source Orchard Core extensions.
  • Lombiq.Analyzers.PowerShell: PowerShell static code analysis via PSScriptAnalyzer and Lombiq's recommended configuration for it. Use it from the CLI, in GitHub Actions, or integrated into MSBuild builds.
  • Lombiq.GitHub.Actions: Some common workflows and actions for GitHub Actions shared between Lombiq projects, e.g. to build and test Orchard Core apps, publish packages to NuGet, verify that a Git submodule pull request has a corresponding superproject one. These can be invoked from any other repository's build.

Samples and Recipes

You can activate various sample content in the site:

  • Lombiq.JsonEditor: Go to Recipes in the admin dashboard and select "Lombiq Open Source Orchard Core Extensions - JSON Editor Sample".
    • Content Items > JSON Example Page: Shows the sample item in action. Edit shows the JSON Editor where you can change the JSON value. View demonstrates simple JavaScript consuming the JSON content.
    • Content Definition > Content Types > JSON Example Page > JsonExampleField: You can edit the this field's JSON Editor's configuration object here. Check out the Templates property!
  • Lombiq.UITestingToolbox: Web UI testing toolbox mostly for Orchard Core applications. Check out its samples in this solution.
  • Lombiq.TrainingDemo: Select the Training Demo setup recipe when you first run the site.
  • Lombiq.DataTables:
    • Go to Features in the admin dashboard and select "Lombiq Data Tables - Samples".
    • Go to Recipes in the admin dashboard and select "Lombiq Data Tables - Sample Content - Employee".
  • Lombiq.BaseTheme:
    • The "TEST: Basic Orchard Features" setup recipe automatically sets it up. If not using it, run the "Lombiq Orchard Core Base Theme - Layers and Zones" recipe, and then enable the theme in Admin → Design → Themes.
    • In case of theme development you can use the "Lombiq Orchard Core Base Theme - Styling Demo" theme to test against some common HTML elements.
  • Lombiq.ChartJs: Go to Recipes in the admin dashboard and select "Lombiq Chart.js - Sample Content - Income/Expense".
  • Lombiq.Privacy: Go to Recipes in the admin dashboard and select "Lombiq Privacy - Sample Content - Privacy, Forms, Workflows".
  • Lombiq.Hosting.MediaTheme: Go to Recipes in the admin dashboard and select "Lombiq Hosting - Media Theme - Samples".

Contributing and support

Bug reports, feature requests, comments, questions, code contributions and love letters are warmly welcome. You can send them to us via GitHub issues and pull requests. Please adhere to our open-source guidelines while doing so.

This project is developed by Lombiq Technologies. Commercial-grade support is available through Lombiq.

Adding a new extension or significant new features

When adding a new extension, or significant new features to existing extensions, do the following:

  • For user-facing features add a recipe to it, demonstrating its usage with sample data. In that case, refer to it in the above section.
  • If no data is needed or if the feature is more library-like, add a sample project (or in addition to the recipe). Put this project into the root of the submodule, so to have the main project's and sample project's folders side by side.
  • Add lower-level unit/integration tests as necessary with the Lombiq Testing Toolbox for Orchard Core.
  • If the sample project includes MVC actions, create a service that inherits from MainMenuNavigationProviderBase and adds front-end main menu items. The top level menu item should have the project's shortened name and the submenu items the individual actions. If you have several controllers, use separators and labels as you can see in the TrainingDemoNavigationProvider.cs.
  • If the feature is user-facing, also add UI test extension method(s) with the Lombiq UI Testing Toolbox for Orchard Core that assert on some important aspects, and execute them from a new UI test in Lombiq.OSOCE.Tests.UI (for inspiration, see the examples there). These methods are also meant to be executed from UI tests in other projects when testing how it integrated with other features. If you've added a demo recipe or sample project to it then utilize that in the test too (see ExecuteRecipeDirectlyAsync()). For this, you'll also need to enable the feature in Lombiq.OSOCE.Tests.recipe.
  • If the project is published on NuGet, reference it from the app in the Lombiq.OSOCE.NuGet solution as well, and enable its features in the Lombiq.OSOCE.NuGet.Tests.recipe. If it has UI testing methods, also run them from Lombiq.OSOCE.NuGet.Tests.UI.
  • If an extension is added, removed or significantly updated in this project, then add, remove or update its description under the "Included Projects" section of this Readme.

Opening pull requests

  • Open a pull request in this repository for every submodule pull request. That way, static code analysis and complex tests can run. If you forget to do so, a check in the submodule will fail. Once you've created the PR here, just click "Re-run jobs" in your submodule.
  • If you see build errors under your pull request then check out its details: It will send you to the failed step in the Actions tab. You can also click on the "Summary" on the sidebar to download the artifacts (logs, screenshots, etc) and in case of failed UI tests you find the annotations linking to which test failed.
  • Open a pull request for all but trivial changes (like typos) so we can nicely track them, including when generating release notes for the next release.

Dependencies between Lombiq projects

When making a Lombiq project depend on another one from this solution, apart from adding a project reference and dependency in the extension manifest for Orchard Core extensions, also add a conditional package reference. This way, when published to NuGet, dependencies will still work. See the project file of Lombiq.HelpfulExtensions for an example.

You can just have project references between projects in the same repo though if both projects are published on NuGet (like between projects of the UI Testing Toolbox) since those will be turned into package dependencies automatically.

You can use the NuGetBuild switch in the root Directory.Build.props file to make all projects use NuGet references so you can update Lombiq packages for the whole solution.
