The Content Types module allows defining Magnolia content types for instance in a single YAML file of a light module. By defining a custom JCR node type, workspace and namespace in a single YAML file of a light module there’s no need to deploy a WAR file or restart a Magnolia instance. Now with just a few lines of YAML code referring to the content type definition you can quickly create a content app descriptor managing the content items defined.

For complex node definitions the Content Types module also supports XML file based JCR node type definitions served as resource files from a light module.

Installing with Maven

Bundled modules are automatically installed for you.

If the module is unbundled, add the following to your bundle including your project’s <dependencyManagement> section and your webapp’s <dependencies> section. If the module is unbundled but the parent POM manages the version, add the following to your webapp’s <dependencies> section.

<dependency>
  <groupId>info.magnolia.types</groupId>
  <artifactId>magnolia-content-types</artifactId>
  <version>1.2</version> (1)
</dependency>
1 Should you need to specify the module version, do it using <version>.

Configuration

The magnolia-content-types module does not require any configuration. However, it is responsible for detection and registration of the following items:

The CND node type definition resource is loaded only if the CND resource is referenced in the Data source definition of a Content type definition.
