Enonic XP Content Type Generator
Procedures
Step 1: Detect Enonic XP Project
1. Execute node scripts/find enonic targets.mjs [workspaceRoot] to locate Enonic XP project roots.
2. If the script returns an empty array, warn that no Enonic XP project markers were found and ask for the target directory.
3. Store the detected project root for use in subsequent steps.
Step 2: Gather Requirements
1. Identify the content type name from the request. The name must be lowercase hyphenated (e.g., blog post ).
2. Identify the display name — a human readable label (e.g., Blog Post ).
3. Determine the super type. Default to base:structured unless the request specifies a folder ( base:folder ) or another built in type.
4. List all requested fields with their input types. Read references/content type reference.md to map natural language field descriptions to the correct Enonic XP input type and configuration.
5. Identify any item sets (repeatable grouped fields), option sets (single select or multi select choices), or mixin references.
6. If the request mentions a mixin, determine whether to generate the mixin file or reference an existing one.
7. If the request mentions x data, determine whether to generate the x data file or reference an existing one.
Step 3: Generate the Content Type XML
1. Read assets/content type.template.xml to obtain the starter template.
2. Replace DISPLAY NAME with the display name from Step 2.
3. Replace DESCRIPTION with a short description or remove the element if none was provided.
4. Set the <super type element to the value determined in Step 2.
5. Populate the <form element with the identified inputs, item sets, option sets, field sets, and mixin references.
6. For each input:
Set the name attribute using camelCase.
Set the type attribute to the exact Enonic XP input type name (case sensitive).
Add <label , <occurrences , <help text , <default , and <config as required.
7. For ComboBox and RadioButton inputs, include all options inside <config .
8. For ContentSelector, ImageSelector, and MediaSelector inputs, include <config with allowContentType , allowPath , treeMode , and hideToggleIcon as specified.
9. For TextLine and TextArea, add <config with max length , show counter , or regexp if validation constraints are requested.
10. For Long and Double, add <config with min and max if range constraints are requested.
11. For DateTime, add <config with <timezone true</timezone if timezone aware storage is requested.
12. If examples are needed for reference, read references/examples.md .
Step 4: Write the File
1. Construct the target path: [projectRoot]/src/main/resources/site/content types/[name]/[name].xml
2. Create the directory if it does not exist.
3. Write the generated XML to the file.
4. If a mixin was generated, write it to: [projectRoot]/src/main/resources/site/mixins/[name]/[name].xml
5. If x data was generated, write it to: [projectRoot]/src/main/resources/site/x data/[name]/[name].xml
6. If x data references are needed in site.xml , add <x data entries with allowContentTypes and optional attributes as specified.
Step 5: Validate Output
1. Verify the generated XML is well formed.
2. Confirm every <input has a valid type attribute by cross referencing references/content type reference.md .
3. Confirm all name attributes are unique within their nesting level.
4. Confirm <occurrences values are logically consistent (minimum <= maximum, or maximum = 0 for unlimited).
5. If the request asks about super types, input types, or schema structure without requesting file generation, answer the question using references/content type reference.md without creating files.
Error Handling
If scripts/find enonic targets.mjs exits with a non zero code, report the stderr message and ask for the project root path manually.
If the requested input type does not match any known Enonic XP input type, read references/content type reference.md and suggest the closest match. Do not invent input type names.
If XML validation fails, read references/troubleshooting.md to diagnose and correct the error, then regenerate the file.
If a mixin reference cannot be resolved, confirm the mixin file path exists before writing the content type.
