Imports

Every import path, grouped by what it does. The Install column is the command that makes the import available; everything else works the same whichever install it comes from.

Storage, documents, and assets backends are listed separately under Adapters.

Content

The interfaces every backend implements, and the JSON:API handlers that serve them over HTTP.

Catalogs

Where collection definitions come from.

Import	Install	What it does

@laikacms/aws/catalog-ddb	pnpm add laikacms @laikacms/aws	Catalog settings stored in DynamoDB

Serializers

Any serializer works with any storage adapter. Register one per file extension.

Serving and authentication

Import	Install	What it does
@laikacms/server/api	pnpm add laikacms @laikacms/server	laikaApi: documents, storage, and assets behind one authenticated endpoint
