contentstack.csharp 1.0.6

Getting Started

This guide will help you get started with our .NET SDK to build apps powered by Contentstack.

SDK Installation and Setup

To use the .NET SDK, download it from here

Open the terminal and install the contentstack module via ‘Package Manager’ command

PM> Install-Package contentstack.csharp

And via ‘.Net CLI’

dotnet add package contentstack.csharp

To use the module in your application, you need to first Add Namespace to your class

using Contentstack.Core; // ContentstackClient
using Contentstack.Core.Models; // Stack, Query, Entry, Asset, ContentType

Initialize SDK

You will need to specify the API key, Access token, and Environment Name of your stack to initialize the SDK:

// Initialize the Contentstack
Stack Stack stack = ContentstackClient.Stack("api_key", "access_token", "enviroment_name");

Once you have initialized the SDK, you can start getting content in your app.

Basic Queries

Get a Single Entry

To retrieve a single entry from a content type, use the code snippet given below:

Entry entry = stack.ContentType("blog").Entry("blta464e9fbd048668c");
entry.Fetch().ContinueWith((t) => {
if (!t.IsFaulted) {
Console.WriteLine("entry:" + t.Result);
}
});

Get Multiple Entries

To retrieve multiple entries of a particular content type, use the code snippet given below:

Query query = stack.ContentType("blog").Query();
query.Where("title", "welcome");
query.IncludeSchema();
query.IncludeCount();
query.ToJSON();
query.Find().ContinueWith((t) => {
if (!t.IsFaulted) {
Entry[] result = t.Result.Result; Console.WriteLine("result" + result);
}
});

These were example of some of the basic queries of the SDK. For advanced queries, refer to our API reference documentation by visiting the link given below.
