Field Details

​
content

The content field contains the JSON structure of the content data: 
{
  "title": "Getting Started Guide",
  "body": "Welcome to Metabind...",
  "author": "John Doe",
  "publishDate": "2024-01-15T10:00:00Z"
}

​
compiled

The compiled field contains standalone BindJS code that can be executed directly: 
const body = () => {
  return ArticleLayout({
    title: "Getting Started Guide",
    body: "Welcome to Metabind...",
    author: "John Doe"
  })
}

​
resolved vs resolvedRef

Choose based on your use case:
  • resolved: Full package data inline (simpler client implementation)
  • resolvedRef: IDs only for normalized caching (smaller payloads, efficient caching)
