Gitana / 4.0 / Forms / API / Layouts

Layouts Alpaca features both automatic and layout-driven mechanisms for placing your fields onto a page. The automatic mechanism simply walks through your fields in the order they are expressed in schema and places them one by one in a stacked order. The layout-driven mechanism allows you to provide a layout template that finely describes where your fields should be placed using DOM-driven injection. To use a layout, you simply need to provide a view that has a layout block. The layout block def

Gitana / 4.0 / Forms / API / Validation

Validation Alpaca computes the validity of fields in a rendered form and updates the DOM automatically to reflect things nicely for the end user. When validity checks run, the entire tree is traversed and computed. Each field being traversed will have it's outer DOM element updated with new classes. The alpaca-valid class is applied to fields that are in a valid state. The alpaca-invalid class is applied to fields that in an invalid state. In addition, a field may be in an invalid state and also

Gitana / 4.0 / Forms / API / Templates

Templates Alpaca includes an advanced templating system that is driven by views. You can create your own views and templates at compile time (when you actually build Alpaca) or you can override them on the fly at runtime. Templates can be supplied either as inline functions (which are discovered if you've built them at compile time), as URLs (which are loaded at runtime), as DOM references (which are then sourced) or as HTML strings. In the latter two cases, the templates are acquired and then c

Gitana / 4.0 / Forms / API / Callbacks

Callbacks Alpaca provides several places where you can hook in callbacks. Events - events are raised when the user interacts with fields. You can register callbacks to handle these events, adjust field state or other operations. Observables - each field maintains an observable that you can subscribe to. Subscribing to an observable means that you're listening for changes to its value. You can also use observables to interrogate and find values of fields within namespaces. This lets you find valu

How does Cloud CMS work with a CDN

There are a few places where this either occurs automatically if you're using our hosted service or can occur optionally if you're either running within Docker containers on your own or integrating to custom CDN endpoints. First, the API itself can be fronted by a CDN that supports fallback lookup to an origin server. In this case, we recommend Amazon CloudFront with short-lived TTLs on cache headers. More specifically, you can use Amazon's API Gateway to get caching coverage across multiple geo

How do I run custom validation before something is deleted?

Cloud CMS provides several ways to run validation ahead of deletion. There are many use cases where this employed - such as: Preventing an Image from being deleted when it is being referenced by a live Web Page Preventing a required sub-object from being deleted Preventing something from deleted when one or more other things are referencing it or depend on it in some way Here are a few approaches which are commonly used: ## Content Model Dependencies We implement link validation via the graph.
