A Git-based, JSON schema powered CMS

npm install
npm run build
node .

How it works

Repositories must have a .gitcms.yml file in their root with the following structure:

version: 2
pages:
  - id: "en",
    name: "English",
    file: "locale/en.json"
    schema: &schema
      ...
    uiSchema: &uiSchema
      ...

  - id: "ar",
    name: "Arabic",
    file: "locale/ar.json"
    schema: *schema
    uiSchema: *uiSchema

See https://github.com/mozilla-services/react-jsonschema-form for details on schema and uiSchema. uiSchema is optional.

.gitcms.json is also supported but not recommended as YAML anchors are very useful for deduplicating schema definitions.

Previous versions

If no version number is given it is assumed to be version 1, which only supports having the same schema/uiSchema definition for all pages.

version: 1
pages:
  - id: "en"
    name: "English"
    file: "locale/en.json"

  - id: "ar"
    name: "Arabic"
    file: "locale/ar.json"
