Koi is a solution for CMS components to dynamically adjust their output to the CSS-Framework of the current page. In other words, a component can ask the page "what CSS framwork are you using?" and vary the output accordingly.
It currently has an implementation for
We would appreciate implementations for Umbraco, NopCommerce, Orchard, OrchardCore and other .net platforms.
Depending on your needs or the CMS-Framework you're targeting, you will do different things. All is documented on connect-koi.net.
Koi is built to run with
- .net Framework 4.8
- .net 6 & 7
- .net Standard 2.0
- DNN 10.1+ (as an installable module)
- Oqtane (ATM as part of 2sxc)
The root project Koi with the namespace Connect.Koi will compile to .net Framework 4.8, .net Standard 2.0, .net 6 and .net 7. If you want to contribute an implementation for another CMS, this is where you start.
The testing project Connect.Testing.Koi runs unit-tests on Connect.Koi.
The DNN implementation Connect.Dnn.Koi extends Koi with the detection mechanisms as they are needed in the platform DNN / DotNetNuke and generates an installable ZIP package for DNN 10.1+.
This was created in early 2018 to assist in building Dnn Modules and Apps which would look great in various Themes having different CSS frameworks.
To enable Koi to also work on Oqtane we changed the detection system to build on Dependency Injection. This was implemented in April 2021.
Retargeted to DNN 10.1.0 and .net Framework 4.8, and aligned every shared dependency with the versions a DNN 10.x host ships in its bin - none of them are deployed with the module any more. This raises the minimum DNN version: sites on DNN 9.x must stay on Koi 3.0.
