    Description

      We should recommend this as a best practice in the contenttype documentation and use it in the demos. It should be explicitly stated in the content types documentation.

      It has implications for GraphQL and could have other implications in the future.

      Example - content type should be called "book" not "books", or ct should be called "auhor" not "authors".

      This tutorial and demonsgtration project should be updated to reflect this: https://docs.magnolia-cms.com/product-docs/Apps/My-first-content-app.html

       

       

      Full best practice:

      Name contenttyupe singular. Name app plural with "-app" suffix. Name workspace plural.

      Example:

      contentType name: book

      app name: books-app

      workspace name: books
