🗺 Content-Type Explorer

Content-Type Explorer is a Strapi plugin that visualizes your content types and their relationships like an ERD (Entity Relationship Diagram).

Usage

⌨️ Installation

npm i strapi-content-type-explorer

⚙️ Options

• Field Data Types
• Field Icons
• Default Fields: toggle createdBy, createdAt, updatedBy, updatedAt
• Relational Fields Only
• admin:: Types

!TIP If you encounter lags while dragging boxes, try changing edge types. "Smart" edges cause performance issues (this should be fixed in future releases)
