• Content is easily queryable through an in-memory SQLite database
• Content is fully typed

npm install alinea

Initialize alinea's config file

npx alinea init --next

Open the dashboard to have a look around

Configure

Configure alinea in cms.tsx

  title: alinea.text('Blog entry title'),
  body: alinea.richText('Body text')
})

Type options and fields →

Query

Retrieve content fully-typed and filter, order, limit and join as needed.

import {cms} from '@/cms'

console.log(
  await cms.find(
    BlogPost()
      .where(BlogPost.author.is('Me'))
      .select({title: BlogPost.title})
