Fragment Reference

• References other Content Fragments; can be used to create nested content

• The data type can be configured to allow fragment authors to:

  • Edit the referenced fragment directly.
  • Create a new Content Fragment, based on the appropriate model
  • Create new instances of the field

• The reference specifies the path to the referenced resource; for example /content/dam/path/to/resource

Content Reference content-reference

The Content Reference data type allows you to render content from another source; for example, image, page or Experience Fragment.

In addition to standard properties you can specify:

• The Root Path, which specifies, or represents, where to store any referenced content

  note
  NOTE
  This is mandatory if you want to directly upload and reference images in this field when using the Content Fragment editor.
  See Reference Images for further details.

• The content types that can be referenced

  note
  NOTE
  These must include Image if you want to directly upload and reference images in this field when using the Content Fragment editor.
  See Reference Images for further details.

• Limitations for file sizes

• If an image is referenced:

  • Show Thumbnail
  • Image restraints of height and width

Fragment Reference (Nested Fragments) fragment-reference-nested-fragments

The Fragment Reference data type can reference one, or more, Content Fragments. This feature is of particular interest when retrieving content for use in your app, as it allows you to retrieve structured data with multiple layers.

For example:

• A model defining details for an employee; including:
  • A reference to the model that defines the employer (company)

type EmployeeModel {
    name: String
    firstName: String
    company: CompanyModel
}

type CompanyModel {
    name: String
    street: String
    city: String
}

In addition to standard properties you can define:

• Render As:

  • multifield - the fragment author can create multiple, individual, references

  • fragmentreference - allows the fragment author to select a single reference to a fragment

• Model Type
  Multiple models can be selected. When adding references to a Content Fragment, any referenced fragments must have been created using these models.

• Root Path
  This specifies, or represents, a root path for any fragments referenced.

• Allow Fragment Creation

  This allows the fragment author to create a fragment based on the appropriate model.

  • fragmentreferencecomposite - allows the fragment author to build a composite, by selecting multiple fragments
