Documentation @ ADITO Platform

Everything in ADITO is built on Entities. They define structure, behavior and how data is stored and displayed. We’ve published updated documentation that explains how Entities, Contexts and related components interact.

Read the docs:
https://help.platform.adito.cloud/docs/customization/entity-model/

Why it matters​

Much of what makes a project maintainable, flexible, or performant can be traced back to decisions in the Entity Model.

This documentation helps you understand how entities, fields and dependencies interact, how to design better models with fewer side effects, and how to avoid common pitfalls that often lead to subtle platform issues. It also improves your understanding of what JDito actually touches, so you can write more reliable code and reason about behavior instead of guessing.

Whether you're building new modules or navigating existing ones, this knowledge is essential.

What’s covered​

The documentation walks you through:

  • The structure of Entities, Fields and RecordContainers
  • The role of Views and Contexts in UI composition
  • Available RecordContainer types and when to use them
  • Key extension mechanisms and their configuration
  • The interplay between data, logic and presentation

Who should read this​

Anyone working with data structures in ADITO. Developers, architects, and anyone customizing the platform beyond the surface level.
