Directus Schema Builder Kit

This repository is a proof of concept for creating data models for directus programmatically instead of with the admin UI.

Quickstart Guide

1. Install packages: make install or npm i && cd templates && npm i
2. Build package: make build or npm run build
3. Run directus: make docker-compose or docker-compose up -d
4. Create .env file: cd templates && cp example.env .env
5. Run template:
   • Blog: make blog-template or cd templates && npm run blog
