umbraco-datatype

What problem does it solve?

It helps you list, inspect, and safely modify Umbraco data types without manual back-office work or guesswork.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Read data type definitions and structure: list all data types, get one by ID, inspect root data types, and search by query/editor alias.
• Validate and perform safe mutations: add/remove extension aliases and array values, create data types, and update existing data types using dry-run first.
• Control response size and query behavior: limit fields returned, paginate results, and pass query parameters as JSON to keep outputs context-friendly.

Quick Start

Use it to add an extension alias to an existing data type by first running a dry-run and then executing the change to apply it.
