- # Worked examples: source HTML to schema, value and bound template
7
-
8
- Each example runs the same five steps: the source markup (trimmed), what it is and why, the
9
- schema as the write tool takes it, the value as the write tool takes it, and the template with
10
- its binding attributes. Copy the shape, never the customer's words. Rules behind the shapes:
11
- [content-modeling.md](content-modeling.md), [components.md](components.md),
12
- [bindings.md](bindings.md), [portable-text.md](portable-text.md). Examples 6 to 8 continue in
13
- [worked-examples-advanced.md](worked-examples-advanced.md).

27
-
28
- ## Which shape each example uses
29
-
30
- Production stores content in four places. Pick by what the markup is, then follow that example.
31
-
32
- | Markup | Stored as | Schema tool | Value tool | Address on the page | Example |
33
- |---|---|---|---|---|---|
34
- | A band one page owns | Page fields, keys prefixed by section | `create_page` `fields`, `add_field` | `set_page_content` | `data-bcms-field="<key>"` | 1, 2, 5 |
35
- | A band reused or with variants | Component with props | `create_component` | `compose_pages` (an instance per page) | `<instanceId>__overrides.<key>` | 3 |
36
- | Records that repeat on one route | Content model and entries | `create_content_model` | `create_content_entry` | the entry's field key | 4, 6 (advanced) |
37
- | Header, footer, promo bar | Global Layout Section | `update_layout` | `update_layout` | `data-bcms-layout-field` | 7 (advanced) |
38
- | A one-off band built from blocks | `section` block with child blocks | `update_page` `blockJson` | the same call | `<blockId>__<prop>` | 8 (advanced) |
39
- | Cells of different kinds, each with its own size | Component with a `slot` list and `slotSettings` | `create_component` | `compose_pages` | `<instanceId>__overrides.<key>` | 9 |
40
-
41
- Rules that hold in every example:
42
-
43
- - A key is unique in its whole model, so a page field carries its section: `"hero_title"`,
44
- `"faq_title"`. Prop keys and sub-field keys live inside one component and stay short.
45
- - A field of type `text` is created as rich text. Send `richText: false` for every plain string
46
- (a title, an eyebrow, a name, an icon name), then write it as a bare string.
47
- - A repeater value is `{ "repeatable": [ ...rows ] }`; a row is addressed `<key>[<n>].<childKey>`.
48
- - Bind the element that renders the value. Never a wrapper, never a list container.
49
- - `set_page_content` merges by top-level key. `compose_pages` and `update_page` `blockJson`
50
- replace the page's whole block array: read `get_page` first and send every block back.

- ## 1. Hero with two buttons and a background image
53
-
54
- Source: a freight-tracking home page.
55

71
- </div>
72
- </section>
73
- ```
74
-
75
- Reasoning:
76
-
77
- 1. One `<h1>`, a lede, two links styled as buttons, a photo behind the copy: the page's opening
78
- band. Other pages write their own hero copy, so this is page fields, not chrome.
79
- 2. The uppercase line, the heading and the paragraph carry no links or emphasis: three plain
80
- strings.
81
- 3. Each `<a class="btn">` is one `button` field. Label, link and look travel together; the
82
- trailing arrow is the button's `arrow`, not content.
83
- 4. The `<picture>` is one `image` field. Store the largest source once and copy the `alt`. The CSS
84
- `object-position: 50% 35%` is the focal point: divide by 100, so `{ x: 0.5, y: 0.35 }`.
85
- 5. The stars are drawn from the number. Store `4.8` and the label; never the glyphs.
86
- 6. The scrim, the padding and the teal colour are design. They stay in the site's classes.
87
-
88
- Schema (`create_page` `fields`, or one `add_field` with `pageId` per field):
89
-
90
- ```json
91
- [
92
- { "key": "hero_eyebrow", "label": "Eyebrow", "type": "text", "richText": false },

149
- ```
150
-
151
- - The image binding sits on the `<img>`, not the `<picture>`. The alt text travels in the image
152
- value (`altText`): a publish writes it to the bound element's `alt`. When `get_conversion_brief`
153
- lists a separate alt path, declare that path in `data-bcms-props` with kind `text`.
154
- - Neither button value names a `variant`: the anchors keep the site's own `btn-primary` and
155
- `btn-ghost`, and the release reads those two looks into the project's Button family.
156
- - An `href` is kind `url`, never `text`. The label gets its own `<span>` so a save does not erase
157
- the arrow; the arrow is drawn by `BcmsButton` ([components.md](components.md)), so remove the
158
- hand-written `<svg>` once the button renders through it.
159
- - A number shown as text binds with no kind. `number` is a kind only inside `data-bcms-props`.
160
- - The image value's `focal` frames this placement only; the asset's own focal point is untouched.
161
-
162
- Not available today: an overlay, height or theme token on the section. The scrim and spacing stay
163
- in the template's classes and change in code.

165
- ## 2. Feature grid with icons
166
-
167
- Source: a finance SaaS product page.

189
- </section>
190
- ```
191
-
192
- Reasoning:
193
-
194
- 1. A heading group, then same-shaped `<li>` cards: a repeater. The count and order are the
195
- editor's; the three-column grid is the template's.
196
- 2. Per card: the `<h3>` and the `<p>` are plain strings. The trailing link is optional, so the
197
- second card leaves it empty. Never invent a link to fill the row.
198
- 3. The icon is a sprite reference (`<use href="#zap"/>`), so the content is its name. Store the
199
- name the site's own sprite uses (`zap`), as a plain string. An inline `<svg>` with its own
200
- paths is different: that is an `image` field with `config: { "media": "icon" }`.
201
- 4. The band's last button is a `button` field of its own, outside the repeater.
202

257
- </li>
258
- </ul>
259
- ```
260
-
261
- - The `<ul>` carries no binding. Rows are added, removed and reordered in the side panel.
262
- - Emit an address only for a row that exists, and only for a link the row holds.
263
- - The icon `<svg>` is not bound: no field is read from text inside an SVG. The name is edited in
264
- the side panel and the template turns it into the sprite reference.
265
-
266
- To make the icon editable, add a field of type `icon`: its value is a BetterCMS icon name or an
267
- uploaded icon, and a name off the set is refused. A component prop of type `icon` takes the same
268
- value ([components.md](components.md) §1). An inline SVG stays an `image` with `media: "icon"`.

-
312
- Reasoning:
313
-
314
- 1. Plan cards and the comparison table share plan names and always show together: one section.
315
- 2. Plans are same-shaped rows: one `table` prop. `data-monthly` and `data-yearly` give two
316
- numbers; store numbers, never `$24/mo`. A price in words ("Let's talk") is its own text key,
317
- shown when the numbers are empty.
318
- 3. Each plan's check list is a list inside a row: a nested `table` whose rows hold one string.
319
- That is the deepest a prop goes: the inner row takes scalars only.
320
- 4. The comparison is a second `table` prop: one row object per feature, one text key per plan,
321
- plus the group it sits under. The template prints a group row when `group` changes. Read
322
- "Included" and "Not included" from `aria-label`, store "Yes" and "No", and let the template
323
- draw the icon.
324
- 5. A CTA inside a component is one `button` block that two props target (`text`, `url`).

383

444
-
445
- - Use the package `bind` and `bindProps` helpers inside an instance; they produce these addresses.
446
- A definition block id (`pr-heading`) is shared by every instance and binds to nothing.
447
- - Bind the digits, not `$24/mo`. The symbol and the period come from the template. Bind the price
448
- on screen; when the switch shows monthly, the address is `.monthly`.
449
- - A cell the template draws as an icon ("Yes", "No") is not bound: it is edited in the side panel.
450
- - A comparison written as prose instead belongs in a `richtext` prop as a Portable Text `table`
451
- ([portable-text.md](portable-text.md)); then the wrapper of that one value is the bound element.
452
-
453
- A typed table is available on both sides. On a component each `table` column is one sub-field
454
- with its own type (`number`, `boolean`, `url`, ...), as `monthly` and `ctaUrl` are above. On a
455
- model it is a `repeater` (stored as an `array` with `config.zones.repeatable.fields`): one field
456
- per column, of any field type, `minItems` / `maxItems` on the repeatable zone, and
457
- `ui.layout: "table"` to edit the rows as a grid. To key rows to plan ids, give the model a `text`
458
- column with `unique: true`. A value only a developer may change is a model field with
459
- `readOnly: "developer"` and a `lockReason`.
460
-
461
- Not available today: a per-cell type (a column has one type for every row), and a caption,
462
- footnotes or row groups as parts of the table (model them as fields beside it, as `group` and
463
- `fineprint` are here). Offer markup: no JSON-LD is built from prices. Paste it as `schema` on
464
- `update_page` when the page needs it. A fourth plan in the comparison is a new sub-field, a schema
465
- change.
466

467
- ## 4. Testimonials kept as a collection
468
-
469
- Source: three quote cards on a home page. The same quotes also show on the pricing and product
470
- pages.

489
- ```
490
-
491
- Reasoning:
492
-
493
- 1. Search the site before modelling rows inside the section. The quotes repeat on three pages, so
494
- each quote is one entry of a content model and is written once.
495
- 2. Per entry: the quote without the curly quotes (the template adds them), name, role and company
496
- split at the comma, photo, and the rating read from `aria-label`. Add a consent switch:
497
- publishing a person's words needs their permission.
498
- 3. The avatar's `alt=""` is correct: the name sits beside it. Keep the alt text empty.
499
- 4. The section keeps its own eyebrow, heading and button. How it gets its three quotes depends on
500
- where it lives (table below).

563
- A reference value is the entry id as a string; a multi-reference is a list of them. An id that

- does not exist is refused with a 400 ("ref_missing"), so create the entries before the page value.
565
-
566
- How a band shows the entries, by where it lives:
567
-
568
- | Where | What production supports |
569
- |---|---|
570
- | A code-built page (this example) | A `multi-reference` page field holds the picked ids; the template reads the entries and draws the cards |
571
- | The collection's own dynamic page (`/customers`) | A `collection` block: `cardComponentId`, `limit` (1 to 200), `order` (`newest` or `oldest`), `emptyText` |
572
- | A component placed on several pages | A `table` prop filled per instance. The quotes are then copies: a change to one entry is repeated by hand on each instance |
573
-
574
- Bound template (the section's own values; one card shown):
575
-
576
- ```html
577
- <p class="eyebrow" data-bcms-field="testimonials_eyebrow" data-bcms-kind="text">Customers</p>
578

586
- ```
587
-
588
- - The cards carry no page binding. Their words belong to the entries and are edited there, once,
589
- for every page that shows them. The picked list is changed in the side panel.
590
- - Draw the stars from `rating`; never store the glyphs.
591
-
592
- One chosen entry on a hosted page is a `collection` block, not a prop: `source: { modelId }`,
593
- `pinnedIds: ["<entry id>"]`, `limit: 1` and `cardComponentId` naming the card that draws it. Pinned
594
- entries come first, so the limit keeps exactly that one.
595
-
596
- Not available today: a component prop that references entries (there is no reference prop type; it
597
- would save and render nothing). A listing chosen by tag or filter on a route the repo's code
598
- renders: the `collection` block with `source`, `filters` and `sort` is drawn by the hosted
599
- renderer only, so there a "latest for this product" list is a query in the site's code. A
600
- decorative flag on an image VALUE: an empty `altText` is the signal for one placement;
601
- `update_media` `decorative: true` marks the asset itself.
602
-
603
- ## 5. FAQ accordion with FAQPage markup

- ```
628
-
629
- Reasoning:
630
-
631
- 1. Repeated `<details>` with a question and an answer, specific to this page: a repeater in the
632
- page's fields. Move to a collection only when the same questions repeat on several pages.
633
- 2. The question is a plain string; the `<h3>` and the chevron belong to the template. The answer
634
- carries bold text, a link and a list: rich text, narrowed to what answers use.
635
- 3. `open` on the first item is behaviour. It stays in the template.
636
- 4. "Talk to support" is a `button` field. "Still stuck?" is fixed template copy.
637
- 5. Delete the hand-written `<script type="application/ld+json">` and set the page's schema type
638
- instead. Name the row keys so they contain `question` and `answer`: the FAQPage builder finds
639
- the first list on the page whose rows have both.
640
-
641
- Schema:
642
-
643
- ```json
644

645

703
-
704
- Structured data (`update_page`):
705
-
706
- ```json
707
- { "pageId": "<page id>", "schemaType": "FAQPage" }
708
- ```
709
-
710
- Bound template (second item):
711
-
712
- ```html
713
- <details class="faq-item">
714
- <summary><h3 data-bcms-field="faq_items[1].faq_question" data-bcms-kind="text">Where is my data stored?</h3>
715
- <svg class="chevron" aria-hidden="true"/></summary>
716
- <div class="faq-item__body" data-bcms-field="faq_items[1].faq_answer" data-bcms-kind="richtext">
717
- <p>In the EU or the US, your choice at sign-up. Read the <a href="/security">security overview</a>.</p>
718
- </div>
719
- </details>
720
- ```
721
-
722
- - The question binds on the `<h3>`, not the `<summary>`: a save on the summary would erase the
723
- chevron.
724
- - `.faq-item__body` renders nothing but the answer, so it is the answer's element. If it also held
725
- a "Was this helpful?" row, wrap the answer in its own `<div>` and bind that.
726
- - A paragraph inside an answer is addressed `faq_items[1].faq_answer#a2p1`; keep `_key` values
727
- stable when you rewrite an answer, and write the whole field, never one block.
728
-
729
- Not available today: FAQPage markup that appears on its own. Without `schemaType: "FAQPage"` the
730
- page gets WebPage. An "open several at once" setting has no field type of its own; if editors
731
- need it, add a `boolean` field and have the template read it.

733
- ## 9. Bento grid with per-cell sizes
734
-
735
- Source: the cookware brand's home page. The kit's `core-bento` entry is this shape, and
736
- `bento-feature-showcase` is its responsive long form ([kit-scenarios.md](kit-scenarios.md)).
737
-
738
- ```html
739
- <section class="bento" id="field">
740
- <p class="eyebrow">In the field</p>
741
- <h2>Made to be handed down.</h2>
742
- <div class="bento__grid grid grid-cols-4 gap-6">
743
- <figure class="cell col-span-2 row-span-2 cell--dark">
744
- <img src="/img/sierra-dawn-2400.jpg" alt="Dawn over a Sierra camp, kettle steaming" width="2400" height="2400">
745
- <figcaption>Three nights in the Sierra</figcaption>
746
- </figure>
747
- <div class="cell cell--brand"><i class="ti ti-flame" aria-hidden="true"></i>
748
- <span class="stat__value">120k+</span><span class="stat__label">Fires cooked over</span></div>
749
- <div class="cell"><i class="ti ti-star" aria-hidden="true"></i>
750
- <span class="stat__value">4.9</span><span class="stat__label">Average review</span></div>
751
- <blockquote class="cell col-span-2"><p>Our restaurant runs four Ember ovens over live fire every night.</p>
752
- <cite>Chef Amara Osei, Hearth &amp; Ash, Portland</cite></blockquote>
753
- </div>
754
- </section>
755
- ```
756
-
757
- Reasoning:
758
-
759
- 1. The grid's children differ in shape (an image, two stats, a quote) and in size. Different
760
- shapes chosen by the editor are slot children, not rows of one list.
761
- 2. Each cell's size and surface belong to its place in this grid, not to the cell. Reading
762
- `col-span-2 row-span-2` and `cell--dark` into the image tile's own props would carry a
763
- meaningless span to every other page that reuses the tile. They go in the slot's settings.
764
- 3. Size is a small set of presets (1 × 1, 2 × 1, 1 × 2, 2 × 2), so it is a select, never a free
765
- column number. If the source's spans do not fit four presets, it is the per-cell grid
766
- (`grid-cell-layout`), not a bento.
767
- 4. The four-column versus three-column layout is a variant: a second component sharing the
768
- `sectionType`, with the same prop keys.
769
- 5. The icons and the gap between cells are design: they stay in the template's classes.
770
-
771
- Schema: one component per tile kind (`create_component`, then `publish_component`). The stat tile:
772
-
773
- ```json
774
- {
775
- "name": "Stat tile",
776
- "slug": "stat-tile",
777
- "category": "content",
778
- "description": "A big number with a short label.",
779
- "blockJson": [
780
- { "type": "section", "id": "stat-root", "props": { "children": [
781
- { "type": "text", "id": "stat-value", "props": { "html": "" } },
782
- { "type": "text", "id": "stat-label", "props": { "html": "" } }
783
- ] } }
784
- ],
785
- "props": [
786
- { "key": "value", "label": "Number", "type": "text", "target": { "blockId": "stat-value", "path": "props.html" } },
787
- { "key": "label", "label": "Label", "type": "text", "target": { "blockId": "stat-label", "path": "props.html" } }
788
- ]
789
- }
790
- ```
791
-
792
- The image tile (`image`, `caption`) and the quote tile (`quote`, `author`, `role`) are built the
793
- same way. Then the grid, whose `cells` slot lists them:
794
-
795
- ```json
796
- {
797
- "name": "Bento grid",
798
- "slug": "bento-grid",
799

- { "value": "brand", "label": "Brand" } ] }
826
- ] } }
827
- ]
828
- }
829
- ```
830
-
831
- Value: the instance, inside the page's whole `blockJson` (`update_page` with `ifMatch`, or
832
- `compose_pages`). Each cell names its tile component in `_type`, holds that tile's props at its
833
- root, and its place in the grid in `_settings`:
834
-
835
- ```json
836
- { "type": "component", "id": "home-bento", "props": { "componentId": "<bento grid id>", "overrides": {
837
- "eyebrow": "In the field",
838
- "heading": "Made to be handed down.",
839
- "cells": [
840
- { "_key": "g1", "_type": "<image tile id>", "_settings": { "span": "2x2", "tone": "dark" },
841
- "image": "/img/sierra-dawn-2400.jpg", "caption": "Three nights in the Sierra" },
842
- { "_key": "g2", "_type": "<stat tile id>", "_settings": { "span": "1x1", "tone": "brand" },
843
- "value": "120k+", "label": "Fires cooked over" },
844
- { "_key": "g3", "_type": "<stat tile id>", "_settings": { "span": "1x1", "tone": "light" },
845
- "value": "4.9", "label": "Average review" },
846
- { "_key": "g4", "_type": "<quote tile id>", "_settings": { "span": "2x1", "tone": "light" },
847
- "quote": "Our restaurant runs four Ember ovens over live fire every night.",
848
- "author": "Chef Amara Osei", "role": "Hearth & Ash, Portland" }
849
- ] } } }
850
- ```
851
-
852
- Bound template: render the blocks with `BcmsBlocks`. Each cell arrives as a `component` block
853
- whose `props.slotSettings` holds its `_settings`; the template turns `span` and `tone` into its own
854
- grid and surface classes.
855
-
856
- ```html
857
- <section data-bcms-block="home-bento">
858
- <p data-bcms-field="home-bento__overrides.eyebrow" data-bcms-kind="text">In the field</p>
859
- <h2 data-bcms-field="home-bento__overrides.heading" data-bcms-kind="text">Made to be handed down.</h2>
860
- <div class="bento__grid grid grid-cols-4 gap-6">
861
- <figure class="cell col-span-2 row-span-2 cell--dark">…</figure>
862
- </div>
863
- </section>
864
- ```
865
-
866
- - A `_settings` value that does not fit the slot's `slotSettings` is refused, naming the cell's
867
- `_key`; a slot with no `slotSettings` takes no `_settings` at all.
868
- - `_key` is the cell's identity: keep it stable across reorders.
869
- - Publish every tile component before the grid: a draft child renders nothing.
870
- - A cell's copy is edited in the placement's `cells` list, not by clicking it on the canvas
871
- ([components.md](components.md) §1).
872
-
873
- Not available today: spans that depend on the variant's column count (validate them yourself),
874
- per-breakpoint spans, and a phone order per cell.
875
-
876
- ## Checks after any example
877
-
878
- 1. Read back what you wrote: `get_page`, `get_component` or `get_layout`. A richtext value comes
879
- back as an envelope, an image as the resolved asset, a repeater as `{ repeatable }`.
880
- 2. `get_site_composition`: every placed component is published and no required prop is empty.
881
- 3. After the next release, `get_binding_report` for the route: no unmatched path for the fields
882
- you bound, and the mode you expect.
883
- 4. Edit one value of each bound kind in the Visual Editor (a text, a link, an image, a body
884
- block) and confirm only that element changed.
885
- 5. Publishing needs the user's authorization. Say what is still a draft.

10
+ its binding attributes. Copy the shape, never the customer's words. Rules behind the shapes:

27
+
28
+ ## Which shape each example uses
29
+
30
+ Production stores content in four places. Pick by what the markup is, then follow that example.
31
+
32
+ | Markup | Stored as | Schema tool | Value tool | Address on the page | Example |
33
+ |---|---|---|---|---|---|
34
+ | A band one page owns | Page fields, keys prefixed by section | `create_page` `fields`, `add_field` | `set_page_content` | `data-bcms-field="<key>"` | 1, 2, 5 |
35
+ | A band reused or with variants | Component with props | `create_component` | `compose_pages` (an instance per page) | `<instanceId>__overrides.<key>` | 3 |
36
+ | Records that repeat on one route | Content model and entries | `create_content_model` | `create_content_entry` | the entry's field key | 4, 6 (advanced) |
37
+ | Header, footer, promo bar | Global Layout Section | `update_layout` | `update_layout` | `data-bcms-layout-field` | 7 (advanced) |
38
+ | A one-off band built from blocks | `section` block with child blocks | `update_page` `blockJson` | the same call | `<blockId>__<prop>` | 8 (advanced) |
39
+ | Cells of different kinds, each with its own size | Component with a `slot` list and `slotSettings` | `create_component` | `compose_pages` | `<instanceId>__overrides.<key>` | 9 |
40
+
41
+ Rules that hold in every example:
42
+
43
+ - A key is unique in its whole model, so a page field carries its section: `"hero_title"`,
44
+ `"faq_title"`. Prop keys and sub-field keys live inside one component and stay short.
45
+ - A field of type `text` is created as rich text. Send `richText: false` for every plain string
46
+ (a title, an eyebrow, a name, an icon name), then write it as a bare string.
47
+ - A repeater value is `{ "repeatable": [ ...rows ] }`; a row is addressed `<key>[<n>].<childKey>`.
48
+ - Bind the element that renders the value. Never a wrapper, never a list container.
49
+ - `set_page_content` merges by top-level key. `compose_pages` and `update_page` `blockJson`
50
+ replace the page's whole block array: read `get_page` first and send every block back.

75
+ Reasoning:
76
+
77
+ 1. One `<h1>`, a lede, two links styled as buttons, a photo behind the copy: the page's opening
78
+ band. Other pages write their own hero copy, so this is page fields, not chrome.
79
+ 2. The uppercase line, the heading and the paragraph carry no links or emphasis: three plain
80
+ strings.
81
+ 3. Each `<a class="btn">` is one `button` field. Label, link and look travel together; the
82
+ trailing arrow is the button's `arrow`, not content.
83
+ 4. The `<picture>` is one `image` field. Store the largest source once and copy the `alt`. The CSS
84
+ `object-position: 50% 35%` is the focal point: divide by 100, so `{ x: 0.5, y: 0.35 }`.
85
+ 5. The stars are drawn from the number. Store `4.8` and the label; never the glyphs.
86
+ 6. The scrim, the padding and the teal colour are design. They stay in the site's classes.

150
+
151
+ - The image binding sits on the `<img>`, not the `<picture>`. The alt text travels in the image
152
+ value (`altText`): a publish writes it to the bound element's `alt`. When `get_conversion_brief`
153
+ lists a separate alt path, declare that path in `data-bcms-props` with kind `text`.
154
+ - Neither button value names a `variant`: the anchors keep the site's own `btn-primary` and
155
+ `btn-ghost`, and the release reads those two looks into the project's Button family.
156
+ - An `href` is kind `url`, never `text`. The label gets its own `<span>` so a save does not erase
157
+ the arrow; the arrow is drawn by `BcmsButton` ([components.md](components.md)), so remove the
158
+ hand-written `<svg>` once the button renders through it.
159
+ - A number shown as text binds with no kind. `number` is a kind only inside `data-bcms-props`.
160
+ - The image value's `focal` frames this placement only; the asset's own focal point is untouched.
161
+
162
+ Not available today: an overlay, height or theme token on the section. The scrim and spacing stay
163
+ in the template's classes and change in code.

165
+ ## 2. Feature grid with icons
166
+
167
+ Source: a finance SaaS product page.
168
+
169
+ ```html
170
+ <section class="features py-24" aria-labelledby="features-title">

172
+ <h2 id="features-title">Everything your finance team asked for, in one close.</h2>
173
+ <p class="lede">Ledgerly connects to your bank, your payroll and your ERP, then does the matching for you.</p>
174

176
+ <span class="icon-tile"><svg class="lucide lucide-zap" aria-hidden="true"><use href="#zap"/></svg></span>
177
+ <h3>Close in two days</h3>
178
+ <p>Auto-matching clears 92% of transactions before anyone opens a spreadsheet.</p>
179
+ <a class="text-link" href="/product/reconciliation">How matching works <span aria-hidden="true">→</span></a>
180

181
+ <li class="feature-card">
182
+ <span class="icon-tile"><svg class="lucide lucide-shield-check" aria-hidden="true"><use href="#shield-check"/></svg></span>
183
+ <h3>Audit-ready by default</h3>
184
+ <p>Every change is logged with who, when and why, so year-end takes hours.</p>
185

189
+ </section>
190
+ ```
191
+
192
+ Reasoning:
193
+
194
+ 1. A heading group, then same-shaped `<li>` cards: a repeater. The count and order are the
195
+ editor's; the three-column grid is the template's.
196
+ 2. Per card: the `<h3>` and the `<p>` are plain strings. The trailing link is optional, so the
197
+ second card leaves it empty. Never invent a link to fill the row.
198
+ 3. The icon is a sprite reference (`<use href="#zap"/>`), so the content is its name. Store the
199
+ name the site's own sprite uses (`zap`), as a plain string. An inline `<svg>` with its own
200
+ paths is different: that is an `image` field with `config: { "media": "icon" }`.
201
+ 4. The band's last button is a `button` field of its own, outside the repeater.

247

248
+ <ul class="grid gap-8 md:grid-cols-3" role="list">
249

257
+ </li>
258
+ </ul>
259
+ ```
260
+
261
+ - The `<ul>` carries no binding. Rows are added, removed and reordered in the side panel.
262
+ - Emit an address only for a row that exists, and only for a link the row holds.
263
+ - The icon `<svg>` is not bound: no field is read from text inside an SVG. The name is edited in
264
+ the side panel and the template turns it into the sprite reference.
265
+
266
+ To make the icon editable, add a field of type `icon`: its value is a BetterCMS icon name or an
267
+ uploaded icon, and a name off the set is refused. A component prop of type `icon` takes the same
268
+ value ([components.md](components.md) §1). An inline SVG stays an `image` with `media: "icon"`.

271
+
272
+ Source: a social scheduling SaaS. The same band sits on the pricing page and the home page, so
273
+ it is a component.
274

309
+ </section>
310
+ ```
311
+
312
+ Reasoning:
313
+
314
+ 1. Plan cards and the comparison table share plan names and always show together: one section.
315
+ 2. Plans are same-shaped rows: one `table` prop. `data-monthly` and `data-yearly` give two
316
+ numbers; store numbers, never `$24/mo`. A price in words ("Let's talk") is its own text key,
317
+ shown when the numbers are empty.
318
+ 3. Each plan's check list is a list inside a row: a nested `table` whose rows hold one string.
319
+ That is the deepest a prop goes: the inner row takes scalars only.
320
+ 4. The comparison is a second `table` prop: one row object per feature, one text key per plan,
321
+ plus the group it sits under. The template prints a group row when `group` changes. Read
322
+ "Included" and "Not included" from `aria-label`, store "Yes" and "No", and let the template
323
+ draw the icon.
324
+ 5. A CTA inside a component is one `button` block that two props target (`text`, `url`).

383
+ A `table` prop targets `props.rows` of a `section` block whose children mirror one row. On a

444
+
445
+ - Use the package `bind` and `bindProps` helpers inside an instance; they produce these addresses.
446
+ A definition block id (`pr-heading`) is shared by every instance and binds to nothing.
447
+ - Bind the digits, not `$24/mo`. The symbol and the period come from the template. Bind the price
448
+ on screen; when the switch shows monthly, the address is `.monthly`.
449
+ - A cell the template draws as an icon ("Yes", "No") is not bound: it is edited in the side panel.
450
+ - A comparison written as prose instead belongs in a `richtext` prop as a Portable Text `table`
451
+ ([portable-text.md](portable-text.md)); then the wrapper of that one value is the bound element.
452
+
453
+ A typed table is available on both sides. On a component each `table` column is one sub-field
454
+ with its own type (`number`, `boolean`, `url`, ...), as `monthly` and `ctaUrl` are above. On a
455
+ model it is a `repeater` (stored as an `array` with `config.zones.repeatable.fields`): one field
456
+ per column, of any field type, `minItems` / `maxItems` on the repeatable zone, and
457
+ `ui.layout: "table"` to edit the rows as a grid. To key rows to plan ids, give the model a `text`
458
+ column with `unique: true`. A value only a developer may change is a model field with
459
+ `readOnly: "developer"` and a `lockReason`.
460
+
461
+ Not available today: a per-cell type (a column has one type for every row), and a caption,
462
+ footnotes or row groups as parts of the table (model them as fields beside it, as `group` and
463
+ `fineprint` are here). Offer markup: no JSON-LD is built from prices. Paste it as `schema` on
464
+ `update_page` when the page needs it. A fourth plan in the comparison is a new sub-field, a schema
465
+ change.
466
+
467
+ ## 4. Testimonials kept as a collection
468
+
469
+ Source: three quote cards on a home page. The same quotes also show on the pricing and product
470
+ pages.
471
+
472
+ ```html
473
+ <section class="testimonials bg-stone-50 py-24">
474
+ <p class="eyebrow">Customers</p>
475
+ <h2 class="text-3xl">Teams that stopped chasing spreadsheets</h2>
476
+ <div class="cards grid gap-6 md:grid-cols-3">
477
+ <figure class="t-card">
478
+ <div class="stars" role="img" aria-label="5 out of 5 stars">★★★★★</div>
479
+ <blockquote><p>&ldquo;We closed March in a day and a half. Our auditors asked what changed.&rdquo;</p></blockquote>
480
+ <figcaption>
481
+ <img class="avatar" src="/img/people/dana-ruiz.jpg" alt="" width="48" height="48">
482
+ <span class="name">Dana Ruiz</span><span class="role">Controller, Brightwell Foods</span>
483
+ </figcaption>
484
+ </figure>
485
+ <!-- Omar Haddad, VP Finance, Northgate Logistics, 5 stars; Mei Tanaka, Finance Lead, Alder Studio, 4 stars, no photo -->
486
+ </div>
487
+ <a class="btn btn-outline" href="/customers">Read all customer stories</a>
488
+ </section>
489
+ ```
490
+
491
+ Reasoning:
492
+
493
+ 1. Search the site before modelling rows inside the section. The quotes repeat on three pages, so
494
+ each quote is one entry of a content model and is written once.
495
+ 2. Per entry: the quote without the curly quotes (the template adds them), name, role and company
496
+ split at the comma, photo, and the rating read from `aria-label`. Add a consent switch:
497
+ publishing a person's words needs their permission.
498
+ 3. The avatar's `alt=""` is correct: the name sits beside it. Keep the alt text empty.
499
+ 4. The section keeps its own eyebrow, heading and button. How it gets its three quotes depends on
500
+ where it lives (table below).
501
+
502
+ Schema (`create_content_model`), then the home page's own fields:
503
+
504
+ ```json
505
+ {
506
+ "name": "Testimonial",
507
+ "slug": "testimonial",
508

530
+ ]
531
+ ```
532
+
533
+ Value: entries first (`create_content_entries`, drafts, ids come back), then the page:
534
+
535
+ ```json
536
+ {
537
+ "contentModelId": "<testimonial model id>",
538
+ "entries": [
539
+ { "slug": "dana-ruiz", "data": { "quote": "We closed March in a day and a half. Our auditors asked what changed.",

546
+ "name": "Mei Tanaka", "role": "Finance Lead", "company": "Alder Studio", "rating": 4, "consent": true } }
547
+ ]
548
+ }
549
+ ```
550
+
551
+ ```json
552
+ {
553
+ "pageId": "<home page id>",
554
+ "data": {
555
+ "testimonials_eyebrow": "Customers",
556
+ "testimonials_title": "Teams that stopped chasing spreadsheets",
557
+ "testimonials_picks": ["<dana entry id>", "<omar entry id>", "<mei entry id>"],
558
+ "testimonials_cta": { "label": "Read all customer stories", "href": "/customers", "variant": "outline" }
559
+ }
560
+ }
561
+ ```
562
+
563
+ A reference value is the entry id as a string; a multi-reference is a list of them. An id that
564
+ does not exist is refused with a 400 ("ref_missing"), so create the entries before the page value.
565
+
566
+ How a band shows the entries, by where it lives:
567
+
568
+ | Where | What production supports |
569
+ |---|---|
570
+ | A code-built page (this example) | A `multi-reference` page field holds the picked ids; the template reads the entries and draws the cards |
571
+ | The collection's own dynamic page (`/customers`) | A `collection` block: `cardComponentId`, `limit` (1 to 200), `order` (`newest` or `oldest`), `emptyText` |
572
+ | A component placed on several pages | A `table` prop filled per instance. The quotes are then copies: a change to one entry is repeated by hand on each instance |
573
+
574
+ Bound template (the section's own values; one card shown):
575
+
576
+ ```html
577
+ <p class="eyebrow" data-bcms-field="testimonials_eyebrow" data-bcms-kind="text">Customers</p>
578
+ <h2 class="text-3xl" data-bcms-field="testimonials_title" data-bcms-kind="text">Teams that stopped chasing spreadsheets</h2>
579
+ <div class="cards grid gap-6 md:grid-cols-3">
580
+ <figure class="t-card">
581
+ <div class="stars" role="img" aria-label="5 out of 5 stars">★★★★★</div>
582
+ <blockquote><p>&ldquo;We closed March in a day and a half. Our auditors asked what changed.&rdquo;</p></blockquote>
583
+ <figcaption><img class="avatar" src="/img/people/dana-ruiz.jpg" alt=""><span class="name">Dana Ruiz</span></figcaption>
584
+ </figure>
585
+ </div>
586
+ ```
587
+
588
+ - The cards carry no page binding. Their words belong to the entries and are edited there, once,
589
+ for every page that shows them. The picked list is changed in the side panel.
590
+ - Draw the stars from `rating`; never store the glyphs.
591
+
592
+ One chosen entry on a hosted page is a `collection` block, not a prop: `source: { modelId }`,
593
+ `pinnedIds: ["<entry id>"]`, `limit: 1` and `cardComponentId` naming the card that draws it. Pinned
594
+ entries come first, so the limit keeps exactly that one.
595
+
596
+ Not available today: a component prop that references entries (there is no reference prop type; it
597
+ would save and render nothing). A listing chosen by tag or filter on a route the repo's code
598
+ renders: the `collection` block with `source`, `filters` and `sort` is drawn by the hosted
599
+ renderer only, so there a "latest for this product" list is a query in the site's code. A
600
+ decorative flag on an image VALUE: an empty `altText` is the signal for one placement;
601
+ `update_media` `decorative: true` marks the asset itself.
602
+
603
+ ## 5. FAQ accordion with FAQPage markup
604
+
605
+ Source: a help band built from `<details>`, with hand-written FAQPage JSON-LD beside it.
606
+
607
+ ```html
608
+ <section class="faq" id="faq">
609
+ <h2>Questions, answered</h2>
610
+ <p>Straight answers about billing, data and switching tools.</p>
611
+ <details class="faq-item" open>
612
+ <summary><h3>Can I cancel at any time?</h3><svg class="chevron" aria-hidden="true"/></summary>
613
+ <div class="faq-item__body"><p>Yes. Cancel from <strong>Settings &gt; Billing</strong> and you keep access until the end of the period.</p></div>
614
+ </details>
615
+ <details class="faq-item">
616
+ <summary><h3>Where is my data stored?</h3><svg class="chevron" aria-hidden="true"/></summary>
617
+ <div class="faq-item__body"><p>In the EU or the US, your choice at sign-up. Read the <a href="/security">security overview</a>.</p></div>
618
+ </details>
619
+ <details class="faq-item">
620
+ <summary><h3>How do I move from spreadsheets?</h3><svg class="chevron" aria-hidden="true"/></summary>
621
+ <div class="faq-item__body"><p>Most teams switch in an afternoon:</p>
622
+ <ol><li>Connect your bank.</li><li>Import last month's CSV.</li><li>Invite your team.</li></ol></div>
623
+ </details>
624
+ <p class="faq__more">Still stuck? <a href="/support">Talk to support</a></p>
625
+ </section>
626
+ <script type="application/ld+json">{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","mainEntity":[...]}</script>
627
+ ```
628
+
629
+ Reasoning:
630
+
631
+ 1. Repeated `<details>` with a question and an answer, specific to this page: a repeater in the
632
+ page's fields. Move to a collection only when the same questions repeat on several pages.
633
+ 2. The question is a plain string; the `<h3>` and the chevron belong to the template. The answer
634
+ carries bold text, a link and a list: rich text, narrowed to what answers use.
635
+ 3. `open` on the first item is behaviour. It stays in the template.
636
+ 4. "Talk to support" is a `button` field. "Still stuck?" is fixed template copy.
637
+ 5. Delete the hand-written `<script type="application/ld+json">` and set the page's schema type
638
+ instead. Name the row keys so they contain `question` and `answer`: the FAQPage builder finds
639
+ the first list on the page whose rows have both.
640
+
641
+ Schema:
642

701

702

703
+
704
+ Structured data (`update_page`):
705
+
706
+ ```json
707
+ { "pageId": "<page id>", "schemaType": "FAQPage" }
708
+ ```
709
+
710
+ Bound template (second item):
711
+
712
+ ```html
713
+ <details class="faq-item">
714
+ <summary><h3 data-bcms-field="faq_items[1].faq_question" data-bcms-kind="text">Where is my data stored?</h3>
715
+ <svg class="chevron" aria-hidden="true"/></summary>
716
+ <div class="faq-item__body" data-bcms-field="faq_items[1].faq_answer" data-bcms-kind="richtext">
717
+ <p>In the EU or the US, your choice at sign-up. Read the <a href="/security">security overview</a>.</p>
718
+ </div>
719
+ </details>
720
+ ```
721
+
722
+ - The question binds on the `<h3>`, not the `<summary>`: a save on the summary would erase the
723
+ chevron.
724
+ - `.faq-item__body` renders nothing but the answer, so it is the answer's element. If it also held
725
+ a "Was this helpful?" row, wrap the answer in its own `<div>` and bind that.
726
+ - A paragraph inside an answer is addressed `faq_items[1].faq_answer#a2p1`; keep `_key` values
727
+ stable when you rewrite an answer, and write the whole field, never one block.
728

+ Not available today: FAQPage markup that appears on its own. Without `schemaType: "FAQPage"` the
730
+ page gets WebPage. An "open several at once" setting has no field type of its own; if editors
731
+ need it, add a `boolean` field and have the template read it.

733
+ ## 9. Bento grid with per-cell sizes
734
+
735
+ Source: the cookware brand's home page. The kit's `core-bento` entry is this shape, and
736
+ `bento-feature-showcase` is its responsive long form ([kit-scenarios.md](kit-scenarios.md)).
737
+
738
+ ```html
739
+ <section class="bento" id="field">
740
+ <p class="eyebrow">In the field</p>
741
+ <h2>Made to be handed down.</h2>
742
+ <div class="bento__grid grid grid-cols-4 gap-6">
743
+ <figure class="cell col-span-2 row-span-2 cell--dark">
744
+ <img src="/img/sierra-dawn-2400.jpg" alt="Dawn over a Sierra camp, kettle steaming" width="2400" height="2400">
745
+ <figcaption>Three nights in the Sierra</figcaption>
746
+ </figure>
747
+ <div class="cell cell--brand"><i class="ti ti-flame" aria-hidden="true"></i>
748
+ <span class="stat__value">120k+</span><span class="stat__label">Fires cooked over</span></div>
749
+ <div class="cell"><i class="ti ti-star" aria-hidden="true"></i>
750

+ <blockquote class="cell col-span-2"><p>Our restaurant runs four Ember ovens over live fire every night.</p>

753
+ </div>
754
+ </section>
755
+ ```
756
+
757
+ Reasoning:
758
+
759
+ 1. The grid's children differ in shape (an image, two stats, a quote) and in size. Different
760
+ shapes chosen by the editor are slot children, not rows of one list.
761
+ 2. Each cell's size and surface belong to its place in this grid, not to the cell. Reading
762
+ `col-span-2 row-span-2` and `cell--dark` into the image tile's own props would carry a
763
+ meaningless span to every other page that reuses the tile. They go in the slot's settings.
764
+ 3. Size is a small set of presets (1 × 1, 2 × 1, 1 × 2, 2 × 2), so it is a select, never a free
765
+ column number. If the source's spans do not fit four presets, it is the per-cell grid
766
+ (`grid-cell-layout`), not a bento.
767
+ 4. The four-column versus three-column layout is a variant: a second component sharing the
768
+ `sectionType`, with the same prop keys.
769
+ 5. The icons and the gap between cells are design: they stay in the template's classes.
770
+
771
+ Schema: one component per tile kind (`create_component`, then `publish_component`). The stat tile:
772
+
773
+ ```json
774
+ {
775
+ "name": "Stat tile",
776
+ "slug": "stat-tile",
777
+ "category": "content",
778
+ "description": "A big number with a short label.",
779
+ "blockJson": [
780
+ { "type": "section", "id": "stat-root", "props": { "children": [
781
+ { "type": "text", "id": "stat-value", "props": { "html": "" } },
782
+ { "type": "text", "id": "stat-label", "props": { "html": "" } }
783
+ ] } }
784
+ ],
785
+ "props": [
786
+ { "key": "value", "label": "Number", "type": "text", "target": { "blockId": "stat-value", "path": "props.html" } },
787
+ { "key": "label", "label": "Label", "type": "text", "target": { "blockId": "stat-label", "path": "props.html" } }
788
+ ]
789
+ }
790
+ ```
791
+
792
+ The image tile (`image`, `caption`) and the quote tile (`quote`, `author`, `role`) are built the
793
+ same way. Then the grid, whose `cells` slot lists them:
794
+
795
+ ```json
796
+ {
797
+ "name": "Bento grid",
798
+ "slug": "bento-grid",
799
+ "sectionType": "bento",
800
+ "category": "section",
801
+ "description": "A mosaic of image, stat and quote cells, each with its own size and surface.",
802
+ "blockJson": [
803

804

806

807

808

809
+ "props": [
810
+ { "key": "eyebrow", "label": "Eyebrow", "type": "text", "target": { "blockId": "bento-eyebrow", "path": "props.html" } },

813

814
+ "config": {
815
+ "multiple": true, "minItems": 3, "maxItems": 9,
816
+ "componentIds": ["<image tile id>", "<stat tile id>", "<quote tile id>"],
817
+ "slotSettings": [
818
+ { "key": "span", "label": "Size", "type": "select", "defaultValue": "1x1",
819
+ "options": [
820

821
+ { "value": "1x2", "label": "Tall" }, { "value": "2x2", "label": "Large" } ] },
822
+ { "key": "tone", "label": "Surface", "type": "select", "defaultValue": "light",
823

825
+ { "value": "brand", "label": "Brand" } ] }
826
+ ] } }
827
+ ]
828
+ }
829
+ ```
830
+
831
+ Value: the instance, inside the page's whole `blockJson` (`update_page` with `ifMatch`, or
832
+ `compose_pages`). Each cell names its tile component in `_type`, holds that tile's props at its
833
+ root, and its place in the grid in `_settings`:
834
+
835
+ ```json
836
+ { "type": "component", "id": "home-bento", "props": { "componentId": "<bento grid id>", "overrides": {
837
+ "eyebrow": "In the field",
838
+ "heading": "Made to be handed down.",
839
+ "cells": [
840
+ { "_key": "g1", "_type": "<image tile id>", "_settings": { "span": "2x2", "tone": "dark" },
841
+ "image": "/img/sierra-dawn-2400.jpg", "caption": "Three nights in the Sierra" },
842
+ { "_key": "g2", "_type": "<stat tile id>", "_settings": { "span": "1x1", "tone": "brand" },
843
+ "value": "120k+", "label": "Fires cooked over" },
844
+ { "_key": "g3", "_type": "<stat tile id>", "_settings": { "span": "1x1", "tone": "light" },
845
+ "value": "4.9", "label": "Average review" },
846
+ { "_key": "g4", "_type": "<quote tile id>", "_settings": { "span": "2x1", "tone": "light" },
847
+ "quote": "Our restaurant runs four Ember ovens over live fire every night.",
848
+ "author": "Chef Amara Osei", "role": "Hearth & Ash, Portland" }
849
+ ] } } }
850
+ ```
851
+
852
+ Bound template: render the blocks with `BcmsBlocks`. Each cell arrives as a `component` block
853
+ whose `props.slotSettings` holds its `_settings`; the template turns `span` and `tone` into its own
854
+ grid and surface classes.
855
+
856
+ ```html
857
+ <section data-bcms-block="home-bento">
858
+ <p data-bcms-field="home-bento__overrides.eyebrow" data-bcms-kind="text">In the field</p>
859
+ <h2 data-bcms-field="home-bento__overrides.heading" data-bcms-kind="text">Made to be handed down.</h2>
860
+ <div class="bento__grid grid grid-cols-4 gap-6">
861
+ <figure class="cell col-span-2 row-span-2 cell--dark">…</figure>
862
+ </div>
863
+ </section>
864
+ ```
865
+
866
+ - A `_settings` value that does not fit the slot's `slotSettings` is refused, naming the cell's
867
+ `_key`; a slot with no `slotSettings` takes no `_settings` at all.
868
+ - `_key` is the cell's identity: keep it stable across reorders.
869
+ - Publish every tile component before the grid: a draft child renders nothing.
870
+ - A cell's copy is edited in the placement's `cells` list, not by clicking it on the canvas
871
+ ([components.md](components.md) §1).
872
+
873
+ Not available today: spans that depend on the variant's column count (validate them yourself),
874
+ per-breakpoint spans, and a phone order per cell.
875
+
876
+ ## Checks after any example
877
+
878
+ 1. Read back what you wrote: `get_page`, `get_component` or `get_layout`. A richtext value comes
879
+ back as an envelope, an image as the resolved asset, a repeater as `{ repeatable }`.
880
+ 2. `get_site_composition`: every placed component is published and no required prop is empty.
881
+ 3. After the next release, `get_binding_report` for the route: no unmatched path for the fields
882
+ you bound, and the mode you expect.
883
+ 4. Edit one value of each bound kind in the Visual Editor (a text, a link, an image, a body
884
+ block) and confirm only that element changed.
885
+ 5. Publishing needs the user's authorization. Say what is still a draft.
