Create a Resource Type

Install from a Preset

The quickest way — presets bundle related types:

# List available presets
weos resource-type preset list

# Install one
weos resource-type preset install website

Available presets: core, ecommerce, tasks, website, events, knowledge, meal-planning. See Preset Catalog.

To update existing types when re-installing:

weos resource-type preset install website --update

Create via CLI

weos resource-type create \
  --name "Menu" \
  --slug "menu" \
  --description "A restaurant menu" \
  --context '{"@vocab": "https://schema.org/", "@type": "Menu"}' \
  --schema '{
    "type": "object",
    "properties": {
      "name": {"type": "string"},
      "description": {"type": "string"}
    },
    "required": ["name"]
  }'

Create via API

curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/api/resource-types \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "name": "Menu",
    "slug": "menu",
    "context": {"@vocab": "https://schema.org/", "@type": "Menu"},
    "description": "A restaurant menu"
  }'

What Happens

A ResourceType.Created event is recorded
If a JSON Schema is provided, the ProjectionManager creates a dedicated SQL table:
- Table name: slug with hyphens→underscores, pluralized (menu → menus)
- Typed columns from schema properties (name TEXT, description TEXT)
- Standard columns: id, type_slug, status, created_by, account_id, sequence_no, created_at, updated_at
The type appears in the admin UI sidebar
