CloudCannon Links allow you to reference other sections of the CloudCannon interface. These are used within Editor links and Add options.
Syntax#
CloudCannon Links are formatted with cloudcannon:{path}#{slug} and match the URL structure of the CloudCannon app.
The relative path of the collection inside of the site url. For example https://app.cloudcannon.com/123/editor#sites/456/dashboard would become dashboard which targets the current site's dashboard.
If you want your link to be relative to https://app.cloudcannon.com/ add a ! to the start of your URL. This is used internally for linking to the templates list and using this is not recommended.
Modelled after JavaScripts property accessors, this is a recursive representation of your desired object target. Starting from the base of your structure, name each item as a step towards your desired object. Each object or property is separated by a dot. An array item is denoted by an open square bracket, an integer starting from 0, followed by a closing square bracket ([index]).
Linking to front matter#
By excluding the front path, the cloudcannon link is relative to the current page. This is useful for keeping your code DRY. For example:
cloudcannon:#titleTargets the title of the current pagecloudcannon:#seo.titleTargets the title within the seo objectcloudcannon:#people[0]Targets the first array item in an array named people.cloudcannon:#people[0].titleTargets the title of the first array item within an array named people.
Creating an array item#
A special case of slug editing is the +, by targeting an array you can trigger an item to be added to the end of the array. For example cloudcannon:#people[+] Create a new item in an array named people.
