This is the Demonstration Bundle provided with BackBee Standard Edition. This Bundle provide some useful Content Types to build a blog or a news website.

Content Types

block_demo

Let's take a look to the related block_demo.yml located in the ClassContent directory.

block_demo:
    properties:
        name: Block demo
        description: "Block for demonstration"
        category: [Demo]
    elements:
        text:
            type: BackBee\ClassContent\Element\text
            default:
                value: This is a random field you can edit...
            maxentry: 1
            parameters:
                aloha: !!scalar paragraph
                editable: !!boolean true

The root node of yaml tree is block_demo and he own two children: properties and elements.

The properties are all related to the root node: for instance block_demo have a two mandatory parameters which are name and description. The category parameter define a scope where the ClassContent be used in the BackBee application.

The elements define all elements (defined in BackBee Core, but you can create your owns) created when you use a block_demo Block in BackBee application.

This is pretty simple: a block_demo is compounded of only one Text element which is editable by the provided Aloha editor.
