All the documentation we have is in the readme here https://github.com/mattbrailsford/umbraco-headrest

Hi @biapar I've been using this - https://github.com/mzajkowski/umbraco-headless-playground as a way of implementing/testing Headrest, it gives a good set of Demo Clients, Console App, Xamarin and a .Net Core App.

It also shows a few other alternatives for Headless, but HeadRest is in there, I've managed to set it up locally for testing, getting there with it, although hitting an error:

{"message":"Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation."}

{"message":"Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation."}

That error was more to do with my Naming Conventions - HeadRestComposer being one of them. Altered that and I'm now getting returned JSON. So can safely say the Headless Playground is a really good starting point :) and of course Matt's documentation

Hi, Is’t under Umbraco 8? Which are the alternative that you said?

I’ll try. I’ve to do a blog for a community and I wish to use a headleaa client for presentation...

Hi @biapar yep it's using Umbraco V8 - https://github.com/mzajkowski/umbraco-headless-playground

Also, @mattbrailsford has a sample application using HeadRest here as well - https://github.com/mattbrailsford/nullorwhitespace-backend which is also really useful to get you going

I wish to create a small cart too for food ordering... Merchello is not compliant for 8 and we start to think a port in the future.

why not use Vendr? - https://vendr.net/ it works on Umbraco V8

I already see it, but today I cannot afford that cost per site.

Ah right, Ok, how about uCommerce? (https://ucommerce.net/platform/umbraco/) I think that works on Umbraco 8, they also have a free tier that should allow you get to have pretty much full functionality of eCommerce in Umbraco
