SummerCMS

A new dawn in content management

A content management framework for Go, inspired by WinterCMS. Plugins, the admin SPA and console commands compile into a single binary.

WHY SUMMER

A content framework, built the Go way.

One binary

Plugins are Go packages, compiled in and type-checked at build time. You deploy one binary.

YAML-driven admin

Describe lists and forms in fields.yaml and columns.yaml. An embedded SPA renders them.

Headless by design

A JSON API declared route by route, plus realtime channels. Build the public site in whatever frontend you like.

WHAT'S IN THE BOX

The services a content app needs.

Admin SPAEmbedded in the binary, driven by each plugin’s YAML.Models & migrationsGORM structs with fill, validation and pagination helpers.Routing & authRoute groups, named middleware, tokens and OAuth.Queued jobsDispatched inside the caller’s transaction.RealtimeBroadcast model changes to subscribed clients.SearchSearchable models, synced after commit.Mail & pushPlugin mail templates and push notifications.ConsoleScaffolding, scheduler, workers and your own commands.

FAMILIAR IF YOU KNOW WINTERCMS

The same ideas, in Go.

Plugins still register and boot, require each other, ship migrations and admin YAML. If you know WinterCMS, you'll feel at home.
