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>
  <form>
    <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>
