Content Types module

The Content Types module allows defining Magnolia content types for instance in a single YAML file of a light module. By defining a custom JCR node type, workspace and namespace in a single YAML file of a light module there's no need to deploy a WAR file or restart a Magnolia instance. Now with just a few lines of YAML code referring to the content type definition you can quickly create a content app descriptor managing the content items defined.

 5.7.2+  This module requires Magnolia 5.7.2 or higher versions.

For complex node definitions the Content Types module also supports XML file based JCR node type definitions served as resource files from a light module.

The Content Types module currently is not  part of the preconfigured Magnolia bundles and webapps of the 5.7.x series, you have to add it yourself.

• Content type definitions
  • Content type Data source definition
  • Content type Model definition
