The best way to enable content authoring with your JS framework
Jun 22
Now that you’ve built that beautiful application in Angular, Aurelia, Ember, React - or the next big JavaScript framework - how do make your content authors happy? Easy: Think Headless.
Never let a CMS dictate your presentation tier options. The field is too crowded and is changing too rapidly for pre-ordained “templates” to suffice. Instead, crank out that prototype in your desired framework(s) and
- utilise REST calls to query content
- a simple mockup will do
- returning JSON for each node
Then go back and splice in actual CMS REST calls after-the-fact. Or better yet, checkout their SDK.
Any API first, or headless, content management system worth its salt will dovetail nicely into such a process. You get to spin up your MVP quickly, and look like a hero when authors can revise their items with ease.
