Content Types

Chukfi adapts to your business domain, not the other way around. Define any content type — blog posts, job openings, events, staff profiles — and Chukfi generates everything: database schema, REST API, and TypeScript types.

Adding a Content Type

1. Open the Content Types panel in the admin sidebar
2. Click + New and give it a name (e.g., “Job Openings”)
3. Add fields — each field has a name and a type (Text, Rich Text, Date, Number, Boolean, Media)
4. Save — Chukfi generates the schema, migrations, and TypeScript types

For example, defining a “Job Openings” type with fields title, salary, location, and deadline automatically creates:

// Auto-generated by `chukfi codegen`
export interface JobOpenings {
  title: string;
  salary: string;
  location: string;
  deadline: string;
}

Field Types

Type	Description	Use For
Text	Single-line string	Titles, names, short labels
Rich Text	Formatted HTML content	Blog posts, page bodies, descriptions
Date	ISO 8601 date	Event dates, deadlines, publish schedules
Number	Integer or float	Counts, prices, ratings
Boolean	true/false toggle	Feature flags, visibility toggles
Media	File reference (S3-backed)	Hero images, PDFs, downloads

CLI: Codegen

After defining content types, regenerate TypeScript types for your frontend:

npx chukfi codegen --out src/types

This writes a chukfi-types.ts file with interfaces for every content type and a union type for type-safe queries. Import it directly into your Astro components for full IDE autocompletion.
