The constructor is one of the main functions of the CMS. It allows you to create and manage various forms of content:

  1. Collection: These are groups of entries. For example, a blog with different articles, products in an online store, a list of authors i.e., any content that is repeated.
  2. Single page: Manage a specific entry. This could be, for example, the main page of a website, an about us page i.e., any content that is not repeated.
  3. Component: Used in different collections and single types. For example, a Carousel of images, which can be added both to an article in a blog and to the main page.
