Link Field extension for Contentful
This Contentful extension creates a special link field, that lets the user choose between an internal link (to another entry) or an external link (to a specific URL).
The field value is an object. For internal links, it looks like this:
{
"linkType": "internal",
"entry": {}
}The entry property includes all fields and metadata.
For external links, it looks like this:
{
"linkType": "external",
"url": "https://example.com"
}In your Contentful space, go to Settings > Extensions, then select Add Extension > Install from GitHub. In the dialog that opens, paste this URL: https://github.com/ueno-llc/contentful-extension-link-field/blob/master/extension.json
To add a link field, create a JSON Object field, and under the Appearance tab, select "Link Field".
To test the extension locally, you need a Contentful space to install it in.
# Clone and install

npm install
# Log in to Contentful and install test extension into a space
