If you're here, you probably don't know much about PayloadCMS and would like to, come with me on this new experience and I'll explain a little about this technology.
As its name makes clear, PayloadCMS is a content management system (CMS), but what is it?
A content management system, or CMS, is a tool that allows you to simplify processes that would be more laborious for someone, whether they are someone with no knowledge of the area or someone who wants to speed things up.
The advantage of using a CMS is based on agility, cooperativeness, ease and scalability.
Like any CMS, “Payload” allows the user to have agility and ease in programming systems, it is a headless system, based on NodeJs and TypeScript.
What does it allow?
PayloadCMS allows you to create flexible and scalable APIs with a focus on web and mobile development. It also allows you to separate the backend from the frontend, giving the programmer more control.
What is a headless system?
A headless system is a system that does not provide a frontend interface, only an API for data consumption.
Which databases does this system support?
PayloadCMS supports MongoDB, PostgreSQL and SQLite.
Despite being a headless CMS, Payload offers a modern and customizable administration interface. This allows content editors and administrators to manage everything visually, without the need for in-depth technical knowledge.
In addition, PayloadCMS comes with built-in functionalities for authentication and access control. This allows you to create secure systems with different permission levels, making it easy to create administration panels and control users.
You can see a practical example of using PayloadCMS using fetch in the following code:
const response = await fetch('https://your-api.com/posts');
const posts = await response.json();
console.log(posts);
