I am working through the Directus 11 app that gets set up with `npx directus-template-cli@latest init`. Actually I rebuild it item by item in order to learn how Directus is supposed to be used. And so many things are really straight forward.
Now I would like to add a new type to the navigation items, which currently offer the types “page”, “post”, “url”, “group”. Since I am working on a catalog system, I would need a type that allows me to select a collection, pretty much as the “page” type allows me to select a page, and the “post” type allows me to select a post.
The collections in my Directus instance are grouped in a “CATALOG” folder and have names like “opus”, “events”, “playlists”, “locations” etc.
However, I have not been successful so far. I tried several tools like M2A, Tree, Dropdowns, Expandable Blocks, but they are not what I am looking for. I want to be able to fetch a specific page after I have clicked that very navigation item, and that click fetches the API in question (e.g. /items/opus). Then I can build whatever I want with nuxt tools…
Is that at all possible in Directus? If not, what would you suggest as an alternative solution?
