How are people handling variations on slices with regards to the content model?
After about six months components tended to balloon in number which became a problem for maintenance and usability in the Prismic UI. As a result, I tried to standardise the slice types and now I use a select form input in the slice to enable the content manager to select which slice variation they want, then I run a conditional in the component slice.
Wondering if people do something similar. How do you decide on the distinction between slices? That's what I think I find most challenging.
Hi @jjames.home. For slice variations, I tend to use a Select field as you’ve described as it’s very easy for a content author to see and you can choose a default value for the Slice.
There is also the slice labels feature (as shown by @marcellothearcane) that can serve the same purpose. I would also love to hear if anyone else out there is doing anything different than these two approaches
