Add support for nested, repeating schemas

in progress

Andrew Linfoot

As mentioned on the google group, it would be useful to be able to set up repeating fields in Lists and have them render in the Admin UI.

There's a fair bit of work to do to make this possible, so this issue is a placeholder for now.

I would love to have this feature, I am new to Keystone, 1 day to be precise. The first model I created needed this feature.

Not having much luck with the nested-lists branch:

TypeError: callback is not a function

Anything I can do to help out?

This is my main concern about using KeystoneJS for story-led sites where the client requires the ability to build out rich case study style pages from sets of front-end components which contain multiple optional and non-optional fields, e.g. gallery blocks, text blocks and video blocks. Wordpress ecosystem has solved this with third-party solutions such as ACF's repeater field, and Processwire and Craft have similar built into the core.

Are there any workarounds that can tie me over until this is implemented?

Not really, although you could make a "block" list that has a page reference, a sequence number and optional fields for all the types you want to support, and then in the page you basically do a find for the blocks applying to the page and add them in order, showing whatever data they have.

Alex Hillel: seriously? u cant search for other appropriate front-end drag drop blah blah? apples and oranges mate..

These kinds of structures are all over our data model. Currently we use keystone.mongoose.Schema.Types.Mixed for these structures. Unfortunately this means they must be read-only & cannot be displayed in the admin ui.
