Content definition

Content Definition is the top level when you define content. It is the schema of an object that uses content fields to define its structure. Each content field has a name, a content field definition and additional options.

Supported content field options are:

• required: cannot be saved without a value
• indexed: will be indexed in the database
• unique: cannot be saved if another content of the same content definition exists with the same value for this field
• immutable: a value can only be provided for create but cannot be changed afterwards

Note

Each content definition automatically contains an id content field. This field is unique and immutable.

Example

The content definition for the example can be named blog-post. We can use the previously created content field definitions to add the required content fields.

Content definition	Content field name	Content field definition	Options
blog-post
	title	common-text	required, indexed
	content	html-text
	publishAfter	common-date	required
	options	blog-post-options
	isPublic	common-boolean
	priority	common-number
	tags	common-text-array

For example one content field is title, using content field definition common-text and it is required. All other content fields need to be added using the previously created content field definitions.

Now the the content definition is available we can create content matching it.
