ButterCMS Saves You Development Time
Most customers get our C# CMS up and running in less than an hour. Try it yourself!
Before ButterCMS, our dev team spent a lot of time in WordPress creating pages, adjusting fields, and pulling data through the APIs. What I really like about ButterCMS is that our marketing team managed to learn ButterCMS really quickly, and now they’re able to create pages and collections on their own. It saves a lot of time and allows our developers to focus on actual development. Zoran Lorkovic Vice President, Engineering Huckletree
How to integrate ButterCMS into your C# application
Just follow the simple steps below to complete the integration and begin creating pages with Butter. Be sure to check out our full guide to creating pages using the ButterCMS C# API.
To display posts we create a simple /blog
route in our app and fetch blog posts from the Butter API. See our API reference for additional options such as filtering by category or author. The response also includes some metadata we'll use for pagination.
Controllers/BlogController.cs
:
public class BlogController : Controller
{
private ButterCMSClient Client;
private static string _apiToken = "your_token";
public BlogController()
{
Client = new ButterCMSClient(_apiToken);
}
[Route("")]
[Route("blog")]
[Route("blog/p/{page}")]
public async Task<ActionResult> ListAllPosts(int page = 1)
{
var response = await Client.ListPostsAsync(page, 10);
ViewBag.Posts = response.Data;
ViewBag.NextPage = response.Meta.NextPage;
ViewBag.PreviousPage = response.Meta.PreviousPage;
return View("Posts");
}
}
Next we'll create a simple view at Views/Blog/Posts.cshtml
that displays our posts and pagination links:
@{
Page.Title = "Blog";
}
<h2>Posts</h2>
@foreach(var post in ViewBag.Posts)
{
<a href="/blog/@Uri.EscapeDataString(post.Slug)">@post.Title</a>
@Html.Raw("by")
<a href="/author/@Uri.EscapeDataString(post.Author.Slug)">@post.Author.FirstName @post.Author.LastName</a>
<br/>
}
@if(ViewBag.PreviousPage != null)
{
<a href="/blog/p/@ViewBag.PreviousPage">Prev</a>
}
@if(ViewBag.NextPage != null)
{
<a href="/blog/p/@ViewBag.NextPage">Next</a>
}
We'll also create an additional route and controller method for displaying individual posts:
[Route("blog/{slug}")]
public async Task<ActionResult> ShowPost(string slug)
{
var response = await Client.RetrievePostAsync(slug);
ViewBag.Post = response.Data;
return View("Post");
}
The view for displaying a full post includes information such as author, publish date, and categories. See a full list of available post properties in our API reference. We use the Page
object for setting the HTML title and meta description in the <head>
tag of the page.
@{
Page.Title = @ViewBag.Post.SeoTitle;
Page.MetaDescription = @ViewBag.Post.MetaDescription;
}
<h2>@ViewBag.Post.Title</h2>
Published @ViewBag.Post.Published.ToString("d/M/yyyy")
@if (@ViewBag.Post.Categories.Count > 0)
{
@Html.Raw("in")
}
@foreach (var category in @ViewBag.Post.Categories)
{
<a href="/category/@Uri.EscapeDataString(category.Slug)">@category.Name</a>
}
<br/>
<a href="/author/@Uri.EscapeDataString(ViewBag.Post.Author.Slug)">
@ViewBag.Post.Author.FirstName @ViewBag.Post.Author.LastName
</a>
<br/>
<div>
@Html.Raw(ViewBag.Post.Body)
</div>
That's it! If you browse to your homepage you'll see your homepage populated with the content you created in Butter.
