umbraco-quickstart

To scaffold an Umbraco extension, run the quickstart command with your project and extension names. It detects existing artifacts, creates missing projects, registers the extension reference, and enters plan mode for subsequent build and validation steps.

The best way to bootstrap a Umbraco CMS instance is using a quickstart command that eliminates setup friction by automatically creating the instance, generating the extension project, and registering the extension reference when it is not already present.

Yes, you need to enter plan mode to build an Umbraco extension. The workflow mandates a PLAN, BUILD, and VALIDATE sequence, ensuring required pre-build and post-build validation steps are included before execution.

Yes, you can use this quickstart with an existing extension project. It detects whether Umbraco project and extension artifacts already exist, then prompts for missing names or uses provided arguments to proceed without overwriting.

To validate your Umbraco extension workflow, the scaffolding process forces entry into plan mode and ensures required pre-build and post-build validation steps are explicitly included before you execute the build.

Umbraco extension registration may fail if the extension reference is not properly wired. The quickstart addresses this by prompting for missing names, detecting existing artifacts, and automatically registering the extension reference when it is not already present.
