[Documents] Headless CMS

[brusch]

It should be possible to define a content structure without the need of specifying a template.
The concept could be similar to the one we're using already in a minimal version for the Editable Dialog.

Possible approach:

• Defining the content-structure in a YAML file
• The YAML file is then specified as the "template" on a page/snippet
• If a YAML file is provided as a template, then Pimcore knows it's a headless content strucure
• The editing interface is generated according to the content structure defined in the YAML

Additionally it would be nice to have a preview generator, that is used to generate the preview URL (see also Link Generators for Objects )

Example YAML

Could be stored in /config/pimcore/headless-definitions/example.yaml

content:
    headline:
        type: input
        config:
            placeholder: 'Headline'
            required: true

    selectTest:
        type: select
        config:
            store:
                - ["one-month", "One month"]
                - ["three-months", "three-months"]
                - ["unlimited", "unlimited"]
    mainContent:
        type: wysiwyg
        config:
            height: 200

    contentBlocks:
        type: areablock
        bricks:
            teasers:
                teaser_1:
                    type: snippet
                teaser_2:
                    type: snippet
            gallery:
                imagesBlock:
                    type: block
                    items:
                        image:
                            type: image
                            width: 200
                            height: 200
                            thumbnail: gallery
            video:
                video:
                    type: video
            productListing:
                products:
                    type: relations
                    types: ["object"]
                    classes: ["Product"]

@brusch Thanks for bringing this up. I've also brought this up in a similar way in the DataHub repository:
pimcore/data-hub#113

We've decided to implement this feature in a bundle, all necessary core changes have been made (#9816), so I'll close this ticket here.
