Mixin schemas
Contents
If you need to repeat the exact same form structure across several different schemas, consider using a mixin.
Usage
Like other schemas, mixins schema must be placed in a special folder structure site/mixins/[name]/[name].xml. I.e. src/main/resources/site/mixins/address/address.xml.
Sample mixin
<mixin>
<display-name>Full address</display-name>
<form>
<input type="TextLine" name="addressLine">
<label>Street address</label>
<occurrences minimum="0" maximum="2"/>
</input>
<input type="TextLine" name="city">
<label>City</label>
<occurrences minimum="1" maximum="1"/>
</input>
<input type="TextLine" name="zipCode">
<label>Zip code</label>
<occurrences minimum="1" maximum="1"/>
</input>
<input type="TextLine" name="country">
<label>Country</label>
<occurrences minimum="1" maximum="1"/>
</input>
</form>
</mixin>Below is an example of a simple content type that references the address mixin above.
The mixin fields will simply be merged into the content type schema.
<content-type>
<display-name>Using mixins</display-name>

<input type="TextLine" name="firstName">
<label>First Name</label>
<occurrences minimum="1" maximum="1"/>
</input>
<input type="TextLine" name="lastName">
<label>Last Name</label>
<occurrences minimum="1" maximum="1"/>
</input>
<mixin name="address"/>
</form>
</content-type>
