F.A.Q.

Below are the answer to a couple common questions.

If you have any other questions, go to the TinaCMS Community page to join our Slack or open an issue on Github! Every question you ask helps us make working with TinaCMS even better :)

What does the CMS do?

The responsibility of the CMS keeps track of two broad types of objects:

• Plugins, which extend or change the behaviour of the CMS.
• APIs, which allow the CMS to integrate with third party services.

What? That doesn't seem like a CMS

The name CMS is a bit misleading. This object knows nothing of the user interface or the data storage layer. The purpose of a CMS instance is to provide a common connection point for the various aspects of a content management system. The CMS object effectively a vehicle for dependency injection.

Examples

Creating a CMS

import { CMS } from '@tinacms/core'

let cms = new CMS()

Registering APIs

import github from 'my-github-client'

cms.registerApi('github', github)

cms.api.github

Adding Plugins

import github from 'my-github-client'

cms.plugins.add({
  __type: 'some-plugin',
  some: 'value',
})

cms.plugins.all('some-plugin') // [{ __type: 'some-plugin', some: 'value' }]
