Configuring Inputs

The _inputs section of your Bookshop file can be used to configure the keys in your generated structures.

This configuration is scoped to the individual component, so you can configure the same key differently across components — even if the components are nested within one another.

sample.bookshop.yml

copied

blueprint:
  text: "Hello World!"
  color: "#034AD8"
  date:
  button: bookshop:button

_inputs:
  text:
    comment: "This comment will show up in the CMS"
  color:
    type: color
  date:
    instance_value: NOW

button.bookshop.yml

copied

blueprint:
  text: "Hello World!"
  color: "#034AD8"

_inputs:
  text:
    comment: "A different comment specific to the button component"
  color:
    type: select
    options:
      values:
        - "#034AD8"
        - "#403AFC"

Despite both components specifying text and color inputs, their input configuration is unique and scoped to the content of each blueprint object.

Input configuration is passed directly to CloudCannon; see the CloudCannon Inputs Documentation to read more.
