umbraco-collection-action

To add a custom action button to an Umbraco collection, you generate a manifest and action class file defining the operation. This enables custom toolbar buttons like 'Export' or 'Create New' directly within your backoffice collection views.

Umbraco collection actions can execute custom code, navigate to specific URLs, or trigger modal dialogs. You define these behaviors within the generated action class to automate workflows and enhance user interaction in the backoffice.

Yes, you can control the visibility of custom actions based on the collection context. This conditional display logic ensures action buttons only appear when specific criteria within the Umbraco backoffice collection are met.

You implement an export action by generating an action class that executes custom code targeting the currently filtered list of documents. This adds an 'Export to CSV' button to the Umbraco collection toolbar for immediate processing.

No external dependencies are required to create Umbraco collection actions. The implementation relies on generating standard manifest and action class files based on Umbraco documentation to extend backoffice functionality natively.
