Advanced features

Strapi provides advanced built-in features for developers who'd like to get the best of the backend server, plugins, and database. Click on any of the following cards to read more about a specific feature:

📄️ CLI reference

Control Strapi through the Command Line Interface (CLI).

📄️ TypeScript

Use TypeScript to develop your Strapi project.

📄️ Providers

Install, configure, and create providers to extend core capabilities of some plugins.

📄️ Data management

Use Strapi's built-in data management system to import, export, or transfer data.

📄️ Database migrations

Manage database migrations operations.

📄️ Database transactions

Use an API to wrap a set of operations in a transaction that ensures the integrity of data.

📄️ Unit testing

Run basic unit tests for a Strapi project.

📄️ Error handling

Handle errors received through REST and GraphQL requests, or throw errors through the backend server.

💡 Tip

If the built-in advanced features of Strapi do not cover your use case, you might want to turn next to plugins or customization possibilities.
