Developing For ContentBox

Last updated 7 years ago

Was this helpful?

ContentBox's modular architecture, combined with the awesome power of the MVC development framework, allows for a familiar, yet unrestricted, platform from which to develop great web applications.

If you're a Front End Developer, you'll appreciate the straightforward configuration and pre-defined ( but highly customizable! ) asset conventions.

Within the framework, itself ContentBox is comprised of three modules:

  • contentbox - Includes the the underlying libraries for content organization and presentation

  • contentbox-admin - Provides the administrative interface for managing your CMS

  • contentbox-ui - Provides shared libraries for the user interface which are used for presentation and which may be extended to your application requirements.
