🎉 StrapiConf 2025 Recap

StrapiConf 2025 was a huge success! It was our biggest and most exciting event yet — with packed sessions, community talks, and live workshops. The energy in the room was incredible. For those who missed it, don’t worry — all the talks are available on our YouTube channel.

The event showcased the strength of the Strapi community and the cool things people are building. A big thank you to everyone who attended or tuned in online!

🧩 Conditional Fields: Smarter Content Editing

One of the most requested features is finally here — Conditional Fields. This update provides you with more control over what users see in the admin panel, based on their selections.

Use case:
Let’s say you have a single content type for "Content" that includes questions, answers, and comments. Instead of managing three different types, you can use a single model and show/hide fields conditionally.

I show a live example where I used an enum (Question, Answer, Comment) to toggle which fields are visible. For example, titles only appear when “Question” is selected. It makes the UI cleaner and easier to use.

Bonus: You can also apply conditions programmatically by adding logic directly in your schema.

🤖 AI Architect: Model Your Content in Minutes

Next up was an exciting showcase of the AI Architect feature — a tool that helps you auto-generate content types from your frontend code or UI mockups.

Here’s how it works:

1. Create a frontend project with your favorite AI builder - Vercel’s V0.
2. Upload the zip or image to Strapi’s AI Architect.

3. It analyzes the structure and generates content types, components, and even dynamic zones.

You can also chat with the AI inside Strapi and ask it to create new collection types via natural language (e.g., “Create a homepage single type”).

This tool is perfect for freelancers or agencies looking to go from idea → prototype in minutes.

🧱 Page Builder by Jonathan St-Jean

Jonathan introduced a Page Builder plugin that brings drag-and-drop content editing to Strapi, making it super friendly for non-developers.

Key features:

• Live preview while editing (no need to save + refresh)
• Built-in support for dynamic data (e.g., product pages with unique content)
• Works with multiple locales
• Deep Strapi integration using dynamic zones, components, and relations
• Developer config files for custom blocks

This tool bridges the gap between developers and content editors, especially useful for teams coming from platforms like Shopify or WordPress but wanting more flexibility and control.

🔒 Headlockr: Easy 2FA for Your Admin Panel

Kevin and Xander introduced Headlockr, a plugin that adds two-factor authentication (2FA) to your Strapi admin panel — a feature many businesses require for compliance (e.g., SOC2, ISO).

Key highlights:

• Supports Google Authenticator, SMS, email codes, and backup codes
• Simple, no-code setup — install via Yarn/NPM and configure in the admin UI
• Full integration with Strapi’s role-based access control (RBAC)
• Plug-and-play experience, styled to match Strapi’s admin panel
• Offers fallback options like backup codes (hashed or encrypted)

Headlockr is perfect for teams that want to boost security without adding complexity. There’s also a content API version in the works to extend 2FA protection to frontend login flows too.
