Introducing Components

Components have landed in GraphCMS! Move away from rigid content structures to start experiencing cleaner schemas, flexible content models, and intuitive content operations with reusable content templates.

Components enable teams to build schemas with reusable content templates which can be used across models - accelerating content operations and reducing schema complexity.

Join Jamie as he walks through working with Components in GraphCMS.

With Components, there are a few new concepts and considerations worth getting up to speed with.

Using ComponentsAnchor

Flexible and reusable, Components are pre-defined set of fields to be used across multiple models. Create them within your Schema Builder and add fields as needed.

In the Schema Builder, simply add your components to models as a field. Basic Components let you add a single component, while Modular Components allow you to add several.

BasicAnchor

A Basic Component allows a single component to be added to a model, giving content operators limited flexibility in the types of components an entry can have.

ModularAnchor

Modular Components are more dynamic, allowing for several components to be added within a model, giving content operators more flexibility in choosing which components to add to an entry.
