Create Contentful App
Bootstrap a Contentful App
Overview:
The Create Contentful App repository contains multiple npm packages that enhance the development experience for creating Contentful Apps. These packages include the create-contentful-app CLI, which allows for easy bootstrapping of Contentful apps, the @contentful/app-scripts CLI for performing recurrent operations in the Contentful App Framework, and the @contentful/react-apps-toolkit for building Contentful apps in React. The repository also makes use of automated publishing for new package versions, with the option to manually publish packages as well. There are two development streams available: latest for stable releases and canary for potentially unstable and breaking releases.
Features:
- create-contentful-app: A CLI tool to quickly set up Contentful apps.
- @contentful/app-scripts: CLI tool for performing recurrent operations in the Contentful App Framework.
- @contentful/react-apps-toolkit: Toolkit for building Contentful apps in React.
- Automated Publishing: New package versions are automatically published to npm upon merging to the mainline branch.
- Canary Releases: The canary branch automatically publishes canary releases, which are labeled as ${CANDIDATE_VERSION}-alpha.${BUILD_NUMBER} in npm.
- Stability: Default and stable releases are published under the latest tag, while canary releases are considered potentially unstable and not suitable for production use.
- React
React is a widely used JavaScript library for building user interfaces and single-page applications. It follows a component-based architecture and uses a virtual DOM to efficiently update and render UI components
- Contentful
Contentful is a headless content management system (CMS) that provides a flexible and scalable platform for creating, managing, and delivering digital content across multiple channels and devices.
- Eslint
ESLint is a linter for JavaScript that analyzes code to detect and report on potential problems and errors, as well as enforce consistent code style and best practices, helping developers to write cleaner, more maintainable code.
- Typescript
TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript, providing optional static typing, classes, interfaces, and other features that help developers write more maintainable and scalable code. TypeScript's static typing system can catch errors at compile-time, making it easier to build and maintain large applications.
