Database Collection

A collection can easily be retrieved from any database table.

Frontmatter

A database collection can be simply defined by specifying the table where the collection should be retrieved from, for example:

collection:
   source: database?table=users

Note: database is a shortcut for com:pages.model.database.

The table parameter defines the name of the table and also accepts a table identifier.

Custom

The ability to create custom collections is provided through extending the ComPagesModelDatabase class.
