Umbraco Mocked Backoffice
Status: This skill is currently awaiting an update from Umbraco to allow external extensions to use the mocked backoffice. The patterns documented here work when running from within the Umbraco-CMS source repository.
Run the full Umbraco backoffice UI with all API calls mocked - no .NET backend required.
When to Use
- Visually test extensions during development
- Rapid iteration without backend deployment
- Test extensions in realistic UI environment
- Demonstrate extensions without infrastructure
- CI/CD testing without backend setup
