YAML reference

The heart of a Content Block is the config.yaml file. Here you can find all possible configuration options. There are slight differences, whether you are dealing with Content Elements, Page Types or Record Types. In general Content Elements and Page Types are a special concept in TYPO3. The Core already defines the table names, the type field, etc. You just have to define a new type. This is done by providing the name attribute, which will be converted to the type name. Page Types require an integer value for the type. Therefore you need to set it additionally with typeName.

With TYPO3 you can also create custom Record Types. They require you to define a custom table and a labelField field. Per default all extra features like workspaces, language support, frontend restrictions, etc. are enabled. You can selectively disable each one of them, if you don't use them.
