Editable JSON for global data

[notramo]

Is it possible to edit a JSON using CMS, which contains data that should be available on every page? E.g. html.svelte contains a footer, with information about the company (phone, email, etc). It should be possible to change this from the CMS. It is displayed on every page, so it's not appropriate to put it in content/. Is there an existing feature that can be used to accomplish this?

You can create global content that's used on every page, but the downside is currently Plenti will create an endpoint to it until we resolve:

• Allowing content that doesn't have a route: https://github.com/plentico/plenti/issues/214
• Editing content that doesn't have a route: https://github.com/plentico/plenti/issues/215

For now though, if you're ok with having routes for your global content, you could:

1. Create a single content type for company info: plenti new type company_info --single
2. Add whatever JSON you want to the new content/company_info.json file that was created:

Example content/company_info.json

```json { "name": "ABC Corp", "phone": "555-555-5555", "email": "hi@abc.com" } ```

3. Pull out the company info in a global template file (like layouts/global/html.svelte) using the magic allContent prop:

Example layouts/global/html.svelte

```svelte {#if user && $user.isAuthenticated} {/if}

{companyInfo.fields.name}

{companyInfo.fields.phone}

{companyInfo.fields.email}

```

4. Then to edit the info, just go to the route that's automatically created for it (http://localhost:3000/company-info) and edit it like any other page
5. Optional: the page for the above route will be blank unless you add some markup to layouts/content/company_info.svelte

Note: Everything above is pseudo code that I haven't tested, so you might have to correct errors here and there. Just let me know if it gives you trouble!
