Can't Create Data Type Through Code

[0Neji]

I'm working on a project which needs to initialise various data types through code. I've been able to successfully do this with a handful of the core Umbraco property editors. For example, to create a Nested Content Data Type:

IDataEditor dataEditor = new NestedContentPropertyEditor(Logger, new System.Lazy<PropertyEditorCollection>());

dataType = new DataType(dataEditor, 1);

I'm attempting to do the same with this package but the classes are locked down using internal. As per the Umbraco editors, I'd expect to be able to create this the same way - would it be possible to change the classes to allow data types to be created in other projects?

I'd expect something along these lines to do the job once the changes have been made:

IDataEditor dataEditor = new OEmbedPickerDataEditor(Logger);

dataType = new DataType(dataEditor, 1);

dataType.Configuration = new OEmbedPickerConfiguration()
{
    AllowMultiple = false
};

Hi @0Neji

Would love to see the use case where you need to create them in code.

But for making them public. I will accept a PR for that. I tend to keep most stuff internal when I don't see a need for making them public.

Apperently now there is a need to have them public.
