Templates

In most cases, just using fields is enough, however templates can be used when there are multiple variants of the same collection or object. For example in a "page" collection there might be a need for a marketing page template and a content page template, both under the collection "page".

Definition

Property	Description
`name`	The name of the template
`label`	A human friendly label that will be displayed to the user
`inline`	Changes the component to inline styling
`fields`	An array of fields

Example using templates instead of fields

export default defineConfig({
  //...
  schema: {
    collections: [
      {
        name: 'page',
        label: 'A page of the website',
        path: 'content/pages',
        format: 'mdx',
        templates: [
          {
            name: 'content',
            label: 'Content Page',
            fields: [
              // ... content page fields
            ],
          },
          {
            name: 'marketing',
            label: 'Marketing Page',
            inline: true,
            fields: [
              //... marketing page fields
            ],
          },
        ],
      },
    ],
  },
})
