Collections and Components

Strapi is intended to be used as a headless Content Management System (CMS) in a way that all dynamic and static website content is managed in Strapi. For this purpose Strapi offers different Data Objects:

1. Collection Types - are standard data tables which we utilize for our project heavily to hold the data we need to manage the KLH3 members, runs, etc. They can be easily configured and provide the full range of API's out of the box (Create, read, update, delete, CRUD).
2. Single Types - can be imagined as single websites. Each object only exists once and contains different Components. Most pages of our website are build using such Single Types
3. Components - are reusable content blocks which can be added to any Single Type in order to structure the content of the related web page.

The sections in this chapter describe the implemented elements in more detail:
