Alinea is a modern content management system.

• Content is stored in flat files and committed to your repository
• Content is easily queryable through an in-memory SQLite database
• Content is fully typed

Install alinea in your project directory

npm install alinea

Initialize alinea's config file

npx alinea init --next

Open the dashboard to have a look around

npx alinea dev

Start configuring types and fields →

Configure alinea in cms.tsx

const BlogPost = alinea.type('Blog post', {
  title: alinea.text('Blog entry title'),
  body: alinea.richText('Body text')
})

Type options and fields →

Retrieve content fully-typed and filter, order, limit and join as needed.
Select only the fields you need.

import {cms} from '@/cms'

console.log(
  await cms.find(
    BlogPost()
      .where(BlogPost.author.is('Me'))
      .select({title: BlogPost.title})
  )
)

Content is available during static site generation and when server side querying.
Content is bundled with your code and can be queried with zero network overhead.

How alinea bundles content →

Alinea supports custom backends that can be hosted as a simple Node.js process or on serverless runtimes.
