See more under Versioning

Setup

Install the package:

dotnet add Nikcio.UHeadless

Find it on Nuget

Add the extensions to the Startup.cs file:

using Nikcio.UHeadless.Extensions;

public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
        {
            services.AddUmbraco(_env, _config)
                /* Code obmitted for clarity */
                .AddUHeadless()
                /* Code obmitted for clarity */
        }

public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IWebHostEnvironment env)
{
    /* Code obmitted for clarity */

    app.UseUHeadlessGraphQLEndpoint();

    app.UseUmbraco()
    /* etc... */
}

Now your content will be avalible at /graphql

To get started try adding some content to the root and run the following query:

{
  contentAtRoot {
    nodes {
      id,
      name
    }
  }
}

Versioning

UHeadless following to the best of abillity Semantic Versioning. This means that the version numbers have the following meaning

vX.Y.Z

• X (Major - Breaking change)
• Y (Minor - Feature change)
• Z (Patch - Bug fixes)

This also means that versions doesn't follow Umbracos major versions. To avoid supporting to many major versions the following versioning tactic has been choosen.

Versioning tactic

Each Umbraco LTS version will have a accompanying LTS UHeadless version. All other UHeadless majors not marked as LTS will stop support when a new major is released. In this way you as a developer can choose how often you expect to be updating UHeadless and Umbraco.

The two versioning tracks can be found in the table here:

Track	UHeadless version	Supported Umbraco version
LTS	v3.x.x	v10.x.x & v11.x.x
Edge	v3.x.x	v10.x.x & v11.x.x
Current stable	v3.x.x	v10.x.x & v11.x.x

Do note that LTS versions will not actively get new featues but will be bugfixed when a newer major is present
