Content Types

Defining your content schema

What is a Content Type?

A content type is a template that defines what fields your content has. For example, a “Blog Posts” content type might have a title, body, author, and featured image.

Each content type gets its own API endpoints for creating and querying entries.

Field types

Knitt supports the following field types:

Type	Description	Example value
`text`	Single-line text	"Hello World"
`rich_text`	HTML rich text content	"<p>Hello</p>"
`number`	Integer or decimal number	42
`boolean`	True or false	true
`date`	ISO 8601 date string	"2026-02-07"
`media`	Reference to a media asset	{"url": "...", "alt": "..."}
`select`	Choose from predefined options	"published"
`json`	Arbitrary JSON data	{"key": "value"}

Field options

Each field can have additional options:

required — Whether the field must have a value when creating an entry
unique — Enforce unique values across all entries
default — Default value used when the field is not provided
options — For select fields, an array of allowed values
