TypeScript CMS: Type-Safe Content Management for Modern Developers

Blocksweb is the first TypeScript CMS designed from the ground up for type-safe content management. Built by developers who understand the pain of runtime errors and broken deployments, our TypeScript CMS ensures your content models are bulletproof and your development experience is seamless.

Why Choose a TypeScript CMS?

🛡️ Catch Errors Before They Reach Production

Traditional content management systems rely on runtime checks and hope. Our TypeScript CMS catches content model errors, missing fields, and type mismatches during development—not when your users are browsing your site.

typescript
// Your content is fully typed
interface BlogPost {
  title: string;
  excerpt: string;
  publishDate: Date;
  author: Author;
  tags: string[];
}

// IDE catches errors immediately
const post: BlogPost = {
  title: "Why TypeScript CMS Matters",
  excerpt: "Type safety in content management",
  publishDate: new Date(),
  author: currentUser, // âś“ Type checked
  tags: ["typescript", "cms"] // âś“ Type checked
};

⚡ Superior Developer Experience

Unlike other CMS solutions that bolt on TypeScript support, Blocksweb is TypeScript-first:

  • Full IDE Integration: Auto-completion for all content fields and component props
  • Compile-Time Validation: Never deploy broken content models again
  • Refactoring Support: Rename fields across your entire codebase with confidence
  • IntelliSense Everywhere: Rich type information in every editor

🎯 Type-Safe Content Components

Build reusable content blocks with full type safety:

typescript
import { IBlockswebComponent } from "@blocksweb/core";

interface HeroSectionProps {
  headline: string;
  subtitle: string;
  ctaText: string;
  backgroundImage: ImageAsset;
}

export const HeroSection: IBlockswebComponent<HeroSectionProps> = (props) => {
  // props are fully typed - no runtime surprises
  return (
    <section className="hero">
      <h1>{props.headline}</h1> {/* âś“ TypeScript knows this is a string */}
      <p>{props.subtitle}</p>
      <button>{props.ctaText}</button>
      <img src={props.backgroundImage.url} alt={props.backgroundImage.alt} />
    </section>
  );
};
