EOS

Content Management Overview

Learn how to create, organize, and manage content in Adonis EOS. This section covers posts, modules, module groups, custom fields, and taxonomies.

Overview

Adonis EOS uses a flexible content management system built around:

  • Posts: The core content unit (pages, blog posts, profiles, etc.)

  • Modules: Reusable content blocks that make up posts

  • Module Groups: Pre-configured module layouts for rapid post creation

  • Custom Fields: Post-type-specific metadata fields

  • Taxonomies: Code-first category/tag systems that constrain and organize posts by type

Key Concepts

Post Types

Post types define different kinds of content with specific configurations:

  • Blog posts

  • Pages

  • Support documentation

  • Profiles

  • Testimonials

  • Companies

Each post type can have:

  • Custom URL patterns

  • Allowed modules

  • Custom fields

  • Hierarchical structure (optional)

Module System

Modules are the building blocks of content. They can be:

  • Local: Specific to one post

  • Global: Reusable across multiple posts

  • Locked: Editable but cannot be removed (when seeded from module groups)

Taxonomies (Categories/Tags)

  • Code-first: Define taxonomies in app/taxonomies/*.ts with slug, name, hierarchical, freeTagging, and optional maxSelections.

  • Scoping: Post types opt-in via their config taxonomies: ['lipsum', ...]; only opted types see them in the editor.

  • Hierarchy: If hierarchical is true, terms can be nested and reordered; otherwise, the list is flat.

  • Free-tagging: If enabled, editors can create new terms inline while editing a post.

  • Selection limits: maxSelections can cap how many terms a post can select (or unlimited).

Content Workflow

  1. Create a post (optionally from a module group)

  2. Add and configure modules

  3. Set metadata (title, SEO, custom fields)

  4. Save for review (optional)

  5. Publish
