Documents

Content is stored within a Document. A Document has a model and a schema.

Model

The model is a simple key:value object containing a value and any other optional properties you wish.

{
  "content1": {
    "value": "<p>This is some content</p>"
  }
}

Schema

The schema is an array of objects that defines the kind of data stored in the model and how the entry form should be laid out. A schema is fluid by default so you can add any number or fields in any arrangement. However it is possible to created a fixed schema so a given Document has an enforced schema.

[
  {
    "type": "content",
    "model": "content1",
    "label": "Body Content",
    "instructions": "Enter some content here.",
    "options": {}
  }
]

Templates

Templates are field type that groups together multiple other fields.

[
  {
    "type": "template",
    "model": "content1",
    "template": {
      "fields": [
        {
          "type": "content",
          "model": "content1"
        },
        {
          "type": "media",
          "model": "media1"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
]

Or you can use a globally defined template

[
  {
    "type": "template",
    "model": "content1",
    "template": "contentWithImage"
  }
]

Replicating field sets

A replicating field set allows you to add multiple instances of a set of fields.

[
  {
    "type": "template",
    "model": "socialLinks",
    "template": {
      "replicator": true,
      "sets": [
        {
          "display": "Social Link",
          "fields": {
            "url": {
              "type": "text",
              "model": "url",
              "placeholder": "Social profile URL"
            }
          }
        }
      ]
    }
  }
]
