How it works

From repo to published page in an afternoon

No plugins to wire together and no separate CMS to host. Root.js ships the framework and the editor in one package.

  1. 01

    Build components

    Write Preact components and describe their props with a schema. Types are generated for you.

  2. 02

    Compose pages

    Editors stack templates into pages, fill in fields and preview every change on the real site.

  3. 03

    Publish instantly

    Hit publish and the page is live. Schedule releases, roll back or localize without a deploy.

Migration

Move from your legacy CMS in four steps

  1. 01

    Audit

    We map your existing content types to Root.js schemas.

  2. 02

    Import

    A script copies every page, image and translation.

  3. 03

    Review

    Editors compare old and new side by side in preview.

  4. 04

    Launch

    Flip DNS. Redirects are generated from your old URLs.

Quickstart

Get started in three commands

  1. 01

    Create a project

    Scaffold a new site with the starter template, including a design system and example modules.

    terminal
    $npm create root-app@latest my-site$cd my-site
  2. 02

    Connect the CMS

    Point the CMS plugin at your Firebase project. Collections and templates are discovered automatically.

    root.config.ts
    export default defineConfig({  plugins: [    cmsPlugin({      id: 'www',      firebaseConfig,    }),  ],});
  3. 03

    Start editing

    Run the dev server and open localhost:4007/cms/. Every change you make is previewed live.

    terminal
    $pnpm dev
