Defining a new document shape for recipe
In our product shape example we created a shape “ingredient” to describe a produce type of product. If you are creating an online experience to sell produce or groceries you would typically want to inspire your customers and have cooking recipes as part of your content strategy.
Recipes can easily be described as a document shape with the following structure:
- Name: text line
- Summary: Rich text
- Picture: image
- Directions: Paragraph Collection
- Instruction Video: video
- Prep time: text line
- Ingredients: Relation
