Where can I get help with using Umbraco and TypeScript together?

I’m struggling to find good resources or guidance on how to properly integrate TypeScript with Umbraco, especially when working with the Backoffice. It feels like the backend has become significantly more complex in recent versions, and I’m not sure how everything is meant to connect. Does anyone have tips, documentation, or examples that could point me in the right direction? I’m working with custom views for the block grid at the moment, but it’s things like working with images and documents (uploaded through the media library) that I can’t seem to find any information on.

Thanks

Hi Paul,

I know HQ are working on documentation improvements alongside the community :slight_smile:

I recently started on the journey with block previews and I found this blog post worked well Custom Views in Umbraco 14’s Block Grid/List: Harnessing the Context API and Web Components | by Afreed | Medium

Hope this helps

Yeah, the documentation at the moment is thin on the ground, probably because things are being refactored and ever changing. The documention side will hopefully improve when v17 LTS has been released.
