Creating a Configuration Headless Quick Start Guide creating-configuration
As a first step to getting started with headless in AEM 6.5, you need to create a configuration.
What is a Configuration? what-is-a-configuration
The Configuration Browser provides a generic configuration API, content structure, resolution mechanism for configurations in AEM.
In the context of headless content management in AEM, think of a configuration as a workplace within AEM where you can create your Content Models, which define the structure of your future content and Content Fragments. You can have multiple configurations to separate these models.
How to Create a Configuration how-to-create-a-configuration
An administrator would only need to create a configuration once, or very seldomly when a new workspace is required for organizing your Content Models. For the purposes of this getting started guide, we only need to create one configuration.
-
Log into AEM and from the main menu select Tools > General > Configuration Browser.
-
Provide a Title for your configuration.
- A name will be automatically generated based on the title and adjusted according to AEM naming conventions.. It will become the node name in the repository.
-
Check the following options:
- Content Fragment Models
- GraphQL Persistent Queries
-
Click Create
You can create multiple configurations if necessary. Configurations can also be nested.
