What Re:Earth CMS consists of

Last updated

In Re:Earth CMS, users create models inside a project and manage their data by putting it into them. Knowing what each part of Re:Earth CMS is makes the design easier to work out: which data goes into which model, which definitions are reused across models, and where files are kept.

  • Project: the unit that manages models, items, groups, and assets together. One project can have more than one model.
  • Model: the unit for handling one kind of data together. One model has one schema and one content.
  • Schema: the mechanism that defines which fields and metadata an item has. One schema can define more than one field.
  • Field: the input rule for a value entered into an item.
  • Metadata: the input rule for managing an item. It is defined in the schema, separately from the fields.
  • Content: the collection of items. One content can hold more than one item.
  • Item: each piece of data put into a model. Values go into an item according to the fields the schema defines.
  • Group: the mechanism for bundling the definitions of several fields so that more than one model can reuse them. More than one model can refer to it through a Group field in its schema.
  • Asset: a file uploaded to the project. Items in more than one model can refer to it through an Asset field.

How Re CMS is organized. A project contains a model, a group, and assets, and the model contains a schema and content. Values go into the content's items according to the schema's definitions, a field in the schema refers to the group, and an item in the content refers to an asset
