Content structure

Alinea generates files on your file system in a few places.

  • Content is published into a directory as JSON files. Note that we're considering making these files more human editable in the future too.

  • Media files are published in two places: a JSON file with metadata is placed with the content and the file itself is placed in a separate directory, typically ./public.

  • A Javascript library is generated inside the .alinea folder which allows us to interact with the content in JavaScript. It is linked via the @alinea/generated package name.
