    // The secret API token to authenticate yourself in the API
    "apiToken": "secretToken",

    // Should we make page bundles ?
    // If `true`, draaft will create a bundle for each item, containing the content and resources (images).

    "contentFieldName": "body",

    // How should we serialize the frontmatter ?
    // Allowed values : "yaml" | "toml"
    "frontmatterFormat": "yaml"

    // Should we handle item translations, and if yes with which organization ?
    // Allowed values : "none" | "directory" | "filename"
    "i18nMode": "none",

    // When i18n is activated, and an item has no language defined, fallback on `i18nDefaultLanguage`
    "i18nDefaultLanguage": "en",

    // Should we create a top-directory with the channel name ?
    // If `true`, draaft will create all files into `/[destDir]/[channel.name]/`
    // If `false`, draaft will create all files into `/[destDir]/`
    "useChannelName": false,
