Advanced tools
An open source headless CMS solution to create and manage your own API. It provides a powerful dashboard and features to make your life easier. Databases supported: MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, SQLite
@strapi/strapi is an open-source headless CMS (Content Management System) that provides a flexible and customizable way to manage content. It allows developers to create, manage, and distribute content across any device or platform. Strapi is built with Node.js and offers a powerful API, a user-friendly admin panel, and a plugin system to extend its functionalities.
Content Types Builder
Strapi allows you to define and manage different content types (e.g., articles, products, users) through its Content Types Builder. This feature provides a flexible way to structure your data models.
const { createCoreService } = require('@strapi/strapi').factories;
module.exports = createCoreService('api::article.article');
RESTful and GraphQL APIs
Strapi automatically generates RESTful and GraphQL APIs for your content types, enabling you to interact with your data through standard API endpoints.
const { createCoreController } = require('@strapi/strapi').factories;
module.exports = createCoreController('api::article.article');
Authentication and Permissions
Strapi includes built-in authentication and permissions management, allowing you to control access to your content and APIs based on user roles.
const { createCoreService } = require('@strapi/strapi').factories;
module.exports = createCoreService('api::user.user');
Plugin System
Strapi's plugin system allows you to extend its core functionalities by creating or installing plugins. This makes it easy to add new features or integrate with other services.
module.exports = {
register({ strapi }) {
// Register a new plugin
},
bootstrap({ strapi }) {
// Bootstrap the plugin
}
};
Admin Panel Customization
Strapi provides a customizable admin panel where you can manage your content, configure settings, and install plugins. You can also customize the admin panel to fit your specific needs.
module.exports = {
async bootstrap({ strapi }) {
// Customize the admin panel
}
};
KeystoneJS is another headless CMS and GraphQL API for Node.js. It offers a similar set of features, including a flexible content schema, an admin UI, and authentication. However, KeystoneJS is more focused on providing a GraphQL API and has a different approach to schema definition and customization.
Directus is an open-source data platform that provides a headless CMS and API for managing content. It supports both RESTful and GraphQL APIs and offers a user-friendly admin interface. Directus is known for its flexibility and ability to work with existing SQL databases, making it a good alternative to Strapi.
Contentful is a cloud-based headless CMS that offers a robust API for managing and delivering content. It provides a user-friendly interface, powerful content modeling capabilities, and a wide range of integrations. Unlike Strapi, Contentful is a SaaS product, which means it is hosted and managed by Contentful, whereas Strapi is self-hosted.
Sanity is a headless CMS that offers real-time collaboration, a flexible content model, and a powerful API. It provides a customizable editing environment and supports both RESTful and GraphQL APIs. Sanity is known for its real-time capabilities and developer-friendly features, making it a strong competitor to Strapi.
The most advanced open-source headless CMS to build powerful APIs with no effort.
Strapi is a free and open-source headless CMS delivering your content anywhere you need.
Read the Getting Started tutorial or follow the steps below:
Install Strapi with this Quickstart command to create a Strapi project instantly:
yarn create strapi-app my-project --quickstart
or
npx create-strapi-app my-project --quickstart
This command generates a brand new project with the default features (authentication, permissions, content management, content type builder & file upload). The Quickstart command installs Strapi using a SQLite database which is used for prototyping in development.
Enjoy 🎉
