Dyfort.Umbraco.DictionaryMetadataProvider

Dyfort.Umbraco.DictionaryMetadataProvider is a powerful extension for Umbraco that bridges the gap between C# Data Annotations and the Umbraco Dictionary. It allows editors to manage form labels, placeholders, and validation error messages directly within the Umbraco CMS backoffice.

Versions

This package is designed to work with Umbraco 10+. View all available versions.

Installation

Nuget Downloads

    PM > Install-Package Dyfort.Umbraco.DictionaryMetadataProvider

Usage & Conventions

The provider automatically cleans up class names by removing Model and ViewModel suffixes before looking up dictionary keys. This keeps your Umbraco Dictionary organized and editor-friendly.

  1. Specific Validation Key Pattern: [Model].[Property].[Attribute] Example: Contact.Email.Required or Contact.Email.Required

  2. Display Name Key Pattern: [Model].[Property] Example: Contact.Email (Used for the <label> text)

  3. Global Validation Formats If you provide a global key like RequiredFormat, it will be used for all [Required] validation errors across your entire site, unless a specific property key is found.

public class LoginModel
{
    [Required]
    public string Username { get; set; }
}

You can create these Dictionary entries:

Key: Login.Username | Value: "Username"

Key: RequiredFormat | Value: "{0} is a required field."

Result:

  • Display Name: The label/metadata for the field becomes "Username".

  • Validation Message: When the field is empty, the user sees: "Username is a required field."

Troubleshooting

  • Key Not Found: If a dictionary key is missing, the provider gracefully falls back to the default DataAnnotation message or the property name.
