v15/v16: ManifestSectionSidebarApp

[LennardF1989]

Which Umbraco version are you using?

main

Bug summary

umbraco/Umbraco-CMS/src/Umbraco.Web.UI.Client/src/packages/core/section/extensions/section-sidebar-app.extension.ts doesn't define a MetaSection-interface.

The documentation states there is a sections-array: https://docs.umbraco.com/umbraco-cms/customizing/extending-overview/extension-types/sections/section-sidebar

This causes an inconsistency with the TS auto-complete.

EDIT: I feel this is documentation inconsistency and the "sections"-array doesn't actually exist anymore.

Specifics

No response

Steps to reproduce

Check the first URL.

Expected result / actual result

There is a MetaSection-interface, so when I make a variable in TS: const sectionSideBarManifest: ManifestSectionSidebarApp, the auto-complete will help me accordingly.

Hi there @LennardF1989!

Firstly, a big thank you for raising this issue. Every piece of feedback we receive helps us to make Umbraco better.

We really appreciate your patience while we wait for our team to have a look at this but we wanted to let you know that we see this and share with you the plan for what comes next.

• We'll assess whether this issue relates to something that has already been fixed in a later version of the release that it has been raised for.
• If it's a bug, is it related to a release that we are actively supporting or is it related to a release that's in the end-of-life or security-only phase?
• We'll replicate the issue to ensure that the problem is as described.
• We'll decide whether the behavior is an issue or if the behavior is intended.

We wish we could work with everyone directly and assess your issue immediately but we're in the fortunate position of having lots of contributions to work with and only a few humans who are able to do it. We are making progress though and in the meantime, we will keep you in the loop and let you know when we have any questions.

Thanks, from your friendly Umbraco GitHub bot 🤖 🙂

You were right, @LennardF1989. The first code example in the docs is wrong/outdated. The second one (with the conditions) is correct. I have submitted a pull request to align both of them.

Thanks for your attention #h5yr
