Benchmark CMS for content creation

[r-ichard]

This ticket is a exploration / discussion ticket, no code is required to close it.

Gatsby can be sourced by multiple CMS : https://www.gatsbyjs.com/docs/how-to/sourcing-data/headless-cms/

We should choose something strong enough for content creator to do their work, this means :

• Have a rich text editor
• Create custom pages (e.g. for the home page content)

Ideally : having a wysywig could be awesome (https://www.gatsbyjs.com/blog/how-to-use-the-contentful-rich-text-field-with-gatsby/)

Some solid options I have tried so far :

• Strapi
• Directus
• Contentful

You are free to come up with any other options as long as it matches the specs

Currently exploring Hygraph

To add it to the Gatsby project it seems pretty straight forward : https://hygraph.com/blog/gatsby-source-hygraph-released

See also : https://github.com/hygraph/gatsby-starter-hygraph-blog/blob/master/gatsby-node.js

API Endpoint : https://api-eu-central-1-shared-euc1-02.hygraph.com/v2/clv4w1hpi08sd08w7frs5m3u2/master

NB : not compatible with gatsby 5

Hello,

I've started using Strapi.

I found Strapi's text editor to be handy. We can easily format content with options and different fonts and see the final result right in the interface. Also, adding images and medias is simple.

We can create custom pages, tailoring them to our needs with specific content fields. It's handy for structuring content. We can manage the content by creating different categories (articles, pages, etc.) and linking them together by defining a relationship.

I found the tool to be user-friendly. I haven't explored all the features yet, but the tool feels intuitive and easy to use.

Hi @OumouDi

Thanks for your investigation, did you manage to connect it with Gatsby and pull data from it using graphQL ?
