The best way to work with templates in Craft.

This field allows developers to define control panel fields directly within their templates. Templates can be nested and mixed as needed, enabling complex content hierarchies to be built easily. And all this comes with a big performance boost.

Caveats

Before using the Content Field, please carefully consider the following caveats:

The field stores all data as a chunk of JSON data to your database. You cannot query, sort or filter the saved data in any way.
When modelling your data structures, we use our own custom fields. You cannot use other Craft fields within the Content Field.

License

This plugin uses the Craft licence. If you are using this plugin in a commercial project, please consider licencing it.
