Types#

Note

These docs are generated by code tests, therefore you will see some test content types appear here.

Available content types in a Plone site can be listed and queried by accessing the /@types endpoint on any context. Access requires an authenticated user. The addable key specifies if the content type can be added to the current context. The layouts key specifies the defined views:

http

Accept: application/json
Authorization: Basic YWRtaW46c2VjcmV0

curl

curl -i -X GET http://nohost/plone/@types -H "Accept: application/json" --user admin:secret

Add schema fieldset or field with POST#

To create a new fieldset, send a POST request to the /@types/Document endpoint:

http

POST /plone/@types/Document HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/json
Authorization: Basic YWRtaW46c2VjcmV0
Content-Type: application/json

{
    "description": "Contact information",
    "factory": "fieldset",
    "title": "Contact Info"
}

curl

curl -i -X POST http://nohost/plone/@types/Document -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data-raw '{"description": "Contact information", "factory": "fieldset", "title": "Contact Info"}' --user admin:secret

Get the schema with GET#

To get the schema of a content type, access the /@types endpoint with the name of the content type, for example, plone/@types/Document:

http

GET /plone/@types/Document HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/json
Authorization: Basic YWRtaW46c2VjcmV0

curl

curl -i -X GET http://nohost/plone/@types/Document -H "Accept: application/json" --user admin:secret

httpie

http http://nohost/plone/@types/Document Accept:application/json -a admin:secret

python-requests

requests.get('http://nohost/plone/@types/Document', headers={'Accept': 'application/json'}, auth=('admin', 'secret'))
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/json+schema

The content type schema uses the JSON Schema format. The tagged values for the widgets are also exposed in the properties attribute of the schema.

For Choice fields, their vocabulary or source will be linked to in a vocabulary or querysource property (one or the other, never both):

  • If a querysource property is included, that field is backed by an IQuerysource. In that case, the source's terms can't be enumerated. The terms need to be queried by issuing a request to the linked endpoint and including the user's search terms in the ?query= parameter.

  • If a vocabulary property is included, the field is backed by a vocabulary or another kind of iterable source. The terms can then be enumerated by issuing a request to the linked endpoint.

See Vocabularies and Sources for details on these endpoints.

See Types Schema for a detailed documentation about the available field types.

Update schema with PATCH#

To update content type schema defaults, we send a PATCH request to the server. PATCH allows to provide just a subset of the resource, that is, the values you actually want to change.

To update one or more schema field properties:

http

PATCH /plone/@types/Document HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/json
Authorization: Basic YWRtaW46c2VjcmV0
Content-Type: application/json

{
    "properties": {
        "author_email": {
            "default": "foo@bar.com",
            "maxLength": 20,
            "minLength": 5
        }
    }
}

curl

curl -i -X PATCH http://nohost/plone/@types/Document -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data-raw '{"properties": {"author_email": {"default": "foo@bar.com", "maxLength": 20, "minLength": 5}}}' --user admin:secret

httpie
