This package adds a new boolean property editor to Umbraco. Using a toggle input, users will be able to set the value to either true or false.
Umbraco already has a built-in property for a boolean type, so why add another one?
The build-in property editor has a Initial state option (alias is default) for the data type, but it doesn't apply retroactively to content that doesn't already have a saved value, although one could expect this behavior.
Ideally something like this should be added back to into the Umbraco source code (there is even an issue for it), but for now, this package adds a new property editor that has the expected behavior for the default value / initial state.
The Umbraco 13 version of this package is only available via NuGet. To install the package, you can use either .NET CLI:
dotnet add package Limbo.Umbraco.Boolean --version 13.0.0
or the older NuGet Package Manager:
Install-Package Limbo.Umbraco.Boolean -Version 13.0.0
Umbraco 10-12
For the Umbraco 10-12 version of this package, see the v2/main branch instead.
Umbraco 9
For the Umbraco 9 version of this package, see the v2/main branch instead.
Umbraco 8
For the Umbraco 8 version of this package, see the v1/main branch instead.
The package works similar to the build-in Toggle property editor, but with the addition that the default value / initial state works retroatively for properties that doesn't already have a value (eg. when adding a new property to an existing content type). The property editor will not change the value of properties that already have a value.
