umbraco-entry-point

Umbraco backoffice startup initialization is implemented by authoring a backofficeEntryPoint extension manifest and exporting onInit functions to run JavaScript after authentication. This reliably executes setup logic every time the backoffice boots.

Dynamic UI extension registration in Umbraco is handled by the onInit hook within a backofficeEntryPoint, allowing you to programmatically register backoffice components like dashboards during startup initialization.

An Umbraco backoffice entry point is an extension type that runs JavaScript during backoffice startup. You need it for initialization logic after authentication, such as loading required libraries or registering dynamic UI extensions.

Umbraco backoffice entry points support optional cleanup via the onUnload hook. This function releases resources when the extension is unloaded, complementing the onInit initialization logic.

To create an umbraco-package.json manifest for a backoffice entry point, you define a backofficeEntryPoint extension and export compliant onInit and onUnload functions using the official Umbraco extension API types in TypeScript or JavaScript.

TypeScript is fully supported for implementing Umbraco backoffice entry points. You export onInit and onUnload functions using the official extension API types to ensure compliant backoffice startup initialization and cleanup.
