MINQ for Sitecore and Sitecore MVC

Mockable, LINQable support for Sitecore and Sitecore MVC

Mockable

The main problems with unit testing Sitecore are:

To solve these problems, Minq provides first class support for unit testing Sitecore without connecting to the CMS repository or requiring a HTTP context. This is done by abstracting away the Sitecore API and providing a mocking framework to supply data for testing purposes.

LINQable

Minq is a great productivity library for Sitecore that provides a LINQ to XML style interface. That can turn dozens of lines of cumbersome API query code into fluent one line LINQ statements.

POCO objects

Minq also provides entity framework style POCO objects for Sitecore and a Sitecore HTML helper that supports page edtiable field rendering via a fluent syntax.

MVC

Provides enhancements to Sitecore MVC such as improved POCO HTML helpers, edit frames, and page editor support. The HTML helpers are unit testable and use the same abstraction approach as the core MINQ library.
