Shy and I embarked on a livestream to customize the Contentful reference field using the App Framework, aiming to provide novel functionality. Understanding how editors interact with entry data is crucial when building custom apps. The App Framework allows developers to create visually similar custom apps that can display more data from referenced entries, enhancing the user experience. To start, we used the create-contentful-app CLI tool to quickly get an app up and running, followed by creating an AppDefinition, which serves as a blueprint for how the app will interact inside the Contentful experience. We then assigned our custom reference field app to a field in our content model, enabling us to display more data from referenced entries. By leveraging Forma 36's components and utilities, we created custom functionality that transformed the default reference field experience into one that meets our specific use case. The process showcases the flexibility of the App Framework and Contentful's capabilities for building bespoke digital experiences.
