On the 19th of January in 2023 I did a talk about Headless and MVC with Umbraco on Umbraco Community Day.
Umbraco Community Day
On the 19th of January 2023 I was fortunate enough to be able to talk about Headless and MVC to a big portion of the community. Thank you all for watching if you were there. And thanks to the organization to make it all possible.
In my talk I discuss headless from a software design perspective. What we need to make something "Headless", and how we would do this with a server-side rendered application. Mainly talking about component dependencies and the importance of boundaries between components. Decoupling Umbraco to "protect" the presentation from changes. Both from self-inflicted changes, or changes from Umbraco themselves.
The Source Code
In the talk I showed snippets of a prototype working with these concepts. This prototype is actually a stripped down version of the website this post was first published on. The same concepts, but worked out further, were implemented on that blog. Of course this is super overkill for this small little website. But as an enthusiast I just had to go all out. I decided to make the source code of this prototype for everyone to see, so you can find it on my GitHub page.
At this time the project is a prototype and nowhere near completion. I'd like to continue developing this into a sort of template if there would be any interest. You can star the repo to follow changes or developments.
