laikacms

Modular, runtime-agnostic content management. The basis for modern CMS apps.

API-first headless CMS designed to work with Decap CMS or your own UI. Swap storage backends (filesystem, R2, GitHub, …) without rewriting code. Runs on Node, Bun, and Cloudflare Workers.

pnpm add laikacms

Quick start

Node / Bun

import { buildJsonApi } from 'laikacms/storage-api';
import { FileSystemStorageRepository } from 'laikacms/storage-fs';

const repo = new FileSystemStorageRepository({ basePath: './content' });
const api = buildJsonApi({ repo });

export default { fetch: api.fetch };

Cloudflare Workers

import { buildJsonApi } from 'laikacms/storage-api';
import { R2StorageRepository } from 'laikacms/storage-r2';

export default {
  async fetch(request: Request, env: Env): Promise<Response> {
    const repo = new R2StorageRepository({ bucket: env.CONTENT_BUCKET });
    return buildJsonApi({ repo }).fetch(request);
  },
};
