Open Core CMS API

Open Core CMS API provides data to the UI app. It abstracts the data fetching and business logic away from the user interface.

UI application can be more streamlined and focused by having OCC API providing stable data structures in a clean, consistent manner.

For an example UI implementation see Open Core CMS UI demo repo.

Quick start

# 1. Clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/OpenCoreCMS/cms-api.git
cd cms-api

# 2. Install dependencies
