Data List - support for dynamic root as replacement for XPath #381
-
|
XPath is going away in v14. V13 introduces Dynamic Root as a replacement for XPath in the Multi Url Picker. It would be useful to have a new Data Source for the data list that also uses this feature. I haven't looked at the code yet, but I would expect to be able to reuse much of the code from the Multi Url Picker implementation. |

@arknu 💯 It's on my radar, but I haven't started any prototyping with it yet, (meaning that it's up-for-grabs). I think at first I'd do it as a separate data-source, e.g. "Umbraco Content by Dynamic Root", mostly to keep backwards compatibility of the original "Umbraco Content" data-source. Then for v14, look to merge the two into a combined data-source. |

Yeah, it should definitely be a separate datasource for now. |

FYI, I have a pull request to add Dynamic Root support the existing Umbraco Content data-source. I opted to do this instead of a separate data-source, as it was the simpler solution moving forwards. |
