Spaces

Spaces represent one of the most powerful and flexible architectural concepts in NestSaaS. Each space functions as an independent content domain with its own articles, groups, categories, and tags, allowing you to organize different types of content within a single application.

The spaces configuration is a critical component that defines the structure and organization of your application's content sections. This configuration serves as the foundation for your content architecture.

During initialization, Prisma scripts utilize this configuration to seed the space data in your database, establishing the core content structure of your application.

interface Space {
  name: string       // Display name
  slug: string       // URL slug
  type: "directories" | "basic"  // Content type
  title: string      // Page title
  description: string // Description text
  options: object    // Additional options
}

Spaces Groups

// NestSaaS default spaces
export const spaces: Space[] = [
  {
    name: "Resource",
    slug: "resource",
    type: "directories",
    title: "Collected resources",
    description: "A collection of hand-picked tools and resources...",
    options: {},
  },
  // Additional spaces...
]

// You can define spaces for different use cases
// Example: indietion.com use this space config, A Products space with type `directories` for directory listing, and other spaces with type `basic` for articles contents
export const const spaces: Space[] = [
  {
    name: "Products",
    slug: "product",
    type: "directories",
