Archetype Template Use Cases

@inherits Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoTemplatePage
@using Archetype.Models;
@using Archetype.Extensions;
@{
    Layout = null;
}

//use case #1 - Covers a single Archetype
@foreach (var fieldset in Model.Content.GetPropertyValue<ArchetypeModel>("a1"))
{
    <!-- get a property by name -->
    <div>@fieldset.GetValue("mntp")</div>
    
    <!-- or -->
    
    <!-- if using a property editor with a value converter -->
    <div>@fieldset.GetValue<IEnumerable<IPublishedContent>>("mntp")</div>
}

//use case #2 - Covers nested Archetypes
@foreach (var fieldset in Model.Content.GetPropertyValue<ArchetypeModel>("a1"))
{
    <div>@fieldset.GetValue("firstName")</div>
    
    <!-- get nested Archetype -->
    foreach(var nestedFs in fieldset.GetValue<ArchetypeModel>("movieList")){
        <h3>@nestedFs.GetValue("title")</h3>
        <div>@nestedFs.GetValue("text")</div>
    }
}

//use case #2; be able to iterate over the properties, however this will not pass value through converters
@foreach (var fieldset in Model.Content.GetPropertyValue<ArchetypeModel>("a1"))
{
    <!-- will not go through value converters -->
    foreach (var prop in fieldset.Properties)
    {
        <div>@prop.Value</div>
    }
}

Users of Archetype 0.5.1-alpha and before will have to append a .Fieldsets to the end of Model.Content.GetPropertyValue<Archetype>("a1")

As of Archetype 1.0.1-beta, the models type name has been changed from Archetype to ArchetypeModel. Also the namespace no longer contains .umbraco
