SetDefaultRenderController

[erikjanwestendorp]

Today I had a conversation with the documentation team about custom controllers and the PR to the documentation. In Umbraco 8 there was an extension method to change the default RenderMvcController. It seems it no longer exists. Would it be an idea to create a new Extension Method for v9 that would allow you to replace the default RenderController?

e.g.

  public static IUmbracoBuilder SetDefaultRenderController(this IUmbracoBuilder builder)
  {
      var umbracoRenderingDefaults = builder.Services.FirstOrDefault(descriptor => descriptor.ServiceType == typeof(UmbracoRenderingDefaults));
      builder.Services.Remove(umbracoRenderingDefaults);

      builder.Services.AddSingleton<IUmbracoRenderingDefaults, MyRenderingDefaults>();

      return builder;
  }

It would be better to change UmbracoRenderingDefaults to be IOptions and remove IUmbracoRenderingDefaults. Then you can just configure options how you normally would and change the UmbracoRenderingDefaults.DefaultControllerType value.
