Extend CMSImport¶

You don't need to write code to use CMSImport. When you do want to change how data is read or converted, CMSImport has several extension points.

Extension point	Use it to
Field provider	Convert a source value to the value a property editor expects, without UI.
Advanced setting provider	Convert a source value, with settings the user fills in during mapping.
Data provider	Read data from a new kind of data source.
UI fields	Build the settings UI for your providers.
Notifications	Run your own code before or after an import or a single record.

Set up a project¶

Create a class library, or add the code to your Umbraco web project.
Install the CMSImport core package:
```
dotnet add package CMSImport.Core
```
Make sure the host Umbraco site references your project.

CMSImport finds your providers automatically when the site starts. You don't need to register them.

Dependency injection¶

Inject the services you need through the constructor, the same as in any other Umbraco extension. See Dependency injection in the Umbraco documentation.
