It looks amazing, Strapi team! I didn't test it yet but probably still best on perf as well :)
p.s.: I'm also really wondering how it works for Strapi team financially while there is no cloud system via strapi website.
@the_bluescreen Thanks a lot! To answer your question, it is thanks to fundraising as well as the sales of our Enterprise Editions :)
Hello Hunters π
The whole Strapi team is delighted to announce the release of the brand new version of Strapi: v4 We have been working on it for several months and now is the time to find out what awaits you! π
Learn more about what this v4 is about in this blog post written by Alexandre Bodin, CTO of Strapi.
Also, visit our v4 page.
𧩠A new API plugin to improve the experience of plugin developers. You'll only need to configure two files in the root of the package instead of modifying multiple files!
π REST and GraphQL API to be more flexible and consistent. We have added pagination, a better filtering format, possibility to choose what relations to load. Consume the API easily and choose what data should be fetched from the database.
βοΈ Database query engine offering an improved database layer to make Strapi more
flexible and powerful. It will allow developers to efficiently interact with the database and add custom code more easily. It will also make the migration between different Strapi versions smoother.
π¨ New Design System! Built on top of a React components library, the Strapi Design System allows all plugin developers to use the ready-made components for their plugin interface.
π A new level of control and security. In v4, the Content API and the Admin API are now separated and the access to the Content API can be easily managed using the API Tokens.
π€ Error Handling offering a standard error format for Errors returned by Strapi's
API. Whenever you receive an error, you will know exactly what it means and how to solve the problem.
We had the pleasure of developing this v4 to make life easier for developers as well as content creators to allow them to unleash their creativity. We can't wait to hear what you think about it! All you have to do is open your terminal:
npx create-strapi-app my-project --quickstart
Strapi 4 looks really promising, but the lack of custom field support is totally confounding and I think a deal breaker for anyone building something more interesting than a blog. Would love to make this my agency's go to CMS if that ever gets addressed!
@sethwolfkot Hello Seth, thanks for your feedback, it is really interesting!
In fact, we do not have custom fields yet but this feature is under consideration in our productboard: https://portal.productboard.com/...
Stay tuned :)
@maxime_castres1 yea we'll see, that's been on the roadmap for a while, but regardless IMO Strapi is well beyond a point it's reasonable to not support such a standard feature. After spending more time with Strapi, some possibly even bigger deal breakers have come up, this is a big one that does not appear to be on the roadmap: https://github.com/strapi/strapi...
I love !Strapi! We have used it on multiple projects the last couple of years at Broken Mold Labs. It keeps getting better and better, I couldn't recommend enough.
