Question: Passive Mode

[pagner]

First of all, I'd like to say what a nice job you've done! I installed the default demo and I am inpressed with the quality of work. Good stuff.

I read some posts on Stack Overflow that you replied to about passive mode.

I want to add Piranha to an existing site and only use it for content management. I do not want it handling the routing at all. I already have my routing set up for localization using a sub-directory structure, i.e. mysite.com, mysite.com/es-es/, mysite.com/es-es/mypage.

Does passive mode still exist? Will I be able to accomplish the aforementioned?

Thanks

Had to do a search for headless.

From what I have read, I can use IApi to fetch data from the repository, but it appears I will be responsible for deseralizing on the front end? Are there any packages for the front end that will do that for me, so I can just loop through the blocks like in your demo example? Thanks.

Hi there! In startup you can simply disable all routing features to get it to run in "passive mode".

services.AddPiranha(options =>
{
    options.UseCms(o =>
    {
        o.UseAliasRouting = false;
        o.UseArchiveRouting = false;
        o.UsePageRouting = false;
        o.UsePostRouting = false;
        o.UseSitemapRouting = false;
        o.UseSiteRouting = false;
        o.UseStartpageRouting = false;
    });
});
