Useful EPiServer Dojo links (updated 04/06/2015)
Aug 14, 2014
EPiServer's UI has always been open to modification, however EPiServer 7 onward introduced a paradigm shift in the UI as the editing interface is now a single page application built with Dojo. If you don't already know Dojo then there is a little learning to get your head around it. So I put together a list of EPiServer Dojo links that may prove useful if you want to work with Dojo in EPiServer.
Please let me know if you know in the comments below or on @davidknipe if I missed anything and/or you have a link you'd like to add.
| Other useful EPiServer dojo resources |
|---|
| EPiServer Dojo Widget not Firing the onChange() Event |
| Dojo Toolkit - the official Dojo home |
| EPiServer Javascript class library - the official documentation for the EPiServer javascript class library |
| Uncompressed JavaScript for EPiServer 7.6+ - great if you want to debug your customisations |
| Uncompressed JavaScript files for debugging EPiServer 7 - great if you want to debug your customisations |
| EPiServer Dojo Crash Course (Swedish) - a 45m video (in Swedish) |
| Strategies for Custom Properties in 7.5+ - not actually a Dojo resource but a useful resource to think about how you define properties |
