## Field Details

### content

The content field contains the JSON structure of the content data:

```json theme={null}
{
  "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:

```javascript theme={null}
const body = () => {
  return ArticleLayout({
    title: "Getting Started Guide",
    body: "Welcome to Metabind...",
    author: "John Doe"
  })
}
```

### resolved vs resolvedRef

Choose based on your use case:

* **resolvedPackage**: Full package data inline (simpler client implementation)
* **resolvedRef**: IDs only for normalized caching (smaller payloads, efficient caching)

## Example Queries

### Basic Content

```graphql theme={null}
query GetContent($id: ID!) {
  content(id: $id) {
    id
    name
    description
    tags
    locale
    contentType {
      name
    }
  }
}
```

### Content with Full Package Data

```graphql theme={null}
query GetContentResolved($id: ID!) {
  content(id: $id) {
    id
    name
    compiled
    contentType {
      name
      schema
    }
    resolvedPackage {
      package {
        id
        version
        components
        assets
      }
      dependencies {
        id
        version
        components
        assets
      }
    }
  }
}
```

### Content with Caching References

```graphql theme={null}
query GetContentWithCaching($id: ID!) {
  content(id: $id) {
    id
    name
    compiled
    resolvedRef {
      package
      dependencies
    }
  }
}
```

Response:

```json theme={null}
{
  "data": {
    "content": {
      "id": "cont123",
      "name": "Getting Started",
      "compiled": "const body = () => { ... }",
      "resolvedRef": {
        "package": "abc123def456...",
        "dependencies": ["xyz789ghi012..."]
      }
    }
  }
}
