Usage

This plugin allows you to create a custom field inside any content type you want. This custom field will allow you, after some configuration in the content type builder to select multiple content types in the contribution

Configuration

Plugin configuration settings

Key: recursive

required: no | type: { enabled: Boolean, maxDepth: number} | default { enabled: false, maxDepth: 1}

By default, the plugin will only hydrate the direct relations of the content you fetch

If, for some reasons, you want to hydrate the relations of the relations of the content you fetch, you can through this setting.

Note: this setting will DRAMATICALLY increase the load on Strapi. The complexity is O(n^maxDepth) and the plugin will fetch n^maxDepth items through Strapi API. I strongly recommand to never go above maxDepth set to 2.

Key: debug

required: no | type: Boolean | default false

This setting show debug log of the plugin for better understanding
