Release overview

The GraphQL API now supports fetching modular content types, elements, and page metadata. This combination makes output possibilities endless and offers great flexibility to designers and front-end developers. Content modules can be easily reused and extended, simplifying and speeding up the content management process.

Improved naming and structure

We have improved the naming and structure within the GraphQL API to make it more consistent and intuitive. This helps developers get started faster and reduces the learning curve.

Fetching the home page

The home page is often the most requested and linked page on a website. With the new feature, developers can now fetch this page directly via the GraphQL API without additional filtering.

Elements on the canvas

All elements that would normally be placed on a page can now also be fetched via the GraphQL API to be rendered elsewhere. This allows editors to determine which elements appear in which order on the page, while front-end developers receive this data structured via the GraphQL API.

Form fields and steps

The GraphQL API now supports form fields and steps, including custom fields and configurations. These can be fetched separately from a page to integrate seamlessly into content where needed. A method to handle submissions headlessly via the CMS is still under development.

Result caching

The API now supports caching of results, significantly improving performance by reducing server load and offering faster response times.

Fallback language support

With fallback language support, users can fetch content in an alternative language if the desired language is unavailable. This is essential for international applications and improves content accessibility.
