Content Generator

Introduction

The content generator is a small tool that can help you to easily create any content item so you can quickly have some content to work with. Right now the tool only supports randomized test content, but in the future might support more sophisticated generators. This tool supports Umbraco 10 and Umbraco 13.

Getting started

Install Infocaster.Umbraco.ContentGenerator from nuget using the following dotnet command:

dotnet add package Infocaster.Umbraco.ContentGenerator

Once installed, you don't need to configure anything. You can get started using the tool straight away.

1. Log in to the backoffice
2. Locate a parent content item in the content tree
3. Right click the three dots on the content item in the content tree
4. Select "Generate random content"
5. Select various options for your generated content and press "Submit"
6. Wait for the process to finish
7. Refresh your page to see your generated content.

Configuration

You may paste the following configuration into the root of your appsettings.json:

{
    "ContentGenerator": {
        "Enabled": true
    }
}

By setting Enabled to false, you remove the context menu from the backoffice.
