Collections

Collections are the basic type of object found in Editorial. A collection is defined as a group of objects that follow the same schema (for unique structures, see Singles), you can think of a Page schema as an example of a collection schema. A website can have many Page objects, all following the same schema.

An example of a Page schema is:

page:
  displayName: Pages
  fields:
    title:
      type: markdown
      displayName: Page title
    content:
      type: markdown
      displayName: Content

This schema means there can be 0, 1, or many Page objects created, each with their own title and contents. Generally speaking an Editorial website would use these to create individual pages found on the front-end but the use-case for collections can go far beyond that.

Some other types of collections that could be found:

• Team Member
