How to get visible text from flow part,please?

You can start by rendering the content item to HTML:

// Inject IContentManager
var contentItem = await _contentManager.GetAsync(contentItemId);
// IContentItemDisplayManager and IUpdateModelAccessor (or the current controller instance)
var shape = await _contentItemDisplayManager.BuildDisplayAsync(contentItem, _updateModelAccessor.ModelUpdater);
// IDisplayHelper
var htmlContent = await _displayHelper.ShapeExecuteAsync(shape);

Hi @Piedone ,
I only need a string visible text of flow part in content item, not all of content item and not html.

You can use placement to hide everything you don't need with a custom display type. Then you'll get the HTML of just Flow Part. That you can process with something like HtmlAgilityPack to get what you need.

How to get the FlowPart Shape from variant shape,please?

[Piedone]

Inspect shape in the debugger, and in a property that shape should be there. However, I'd rather recommend what I told above with a custom display type.

I don't know how to use placement to hide everything that don't need with a custom display type yet.

Inspect shape in the debugger, can't tell which one is flow part

In Content-Article.cshtml, "@await DisplayAsync(Model.Content.AbstractContent)" can render correctly but in Content-Article.Summary.cshtml "@await DisplayAsync(Model.Content.AbstractContent)" render nothing, why?

Note: Model.Content.AbstractContent is FlowPart

You might not be placing anything at location AbstractContent for Summary

[effapp]

Model.Content.AbstractContent is null in Summary View but is not null in details view like Content-Article.cshtml

[ns8482e]

Use console log to log your shapes between Summary and Detail, your display driver might not be placing any shape in case of Summary view

[ns8482e]

If it's null you need to place using placement for Summary view

[effapp]

I didn't have display driver, I use default display driver.

As I moved the issue @effapp created to discussions I am discovering this one here too ... So it seems we still don't have a working solution.
