See how to convert a basic blog example from `src/pages/posts/` to `src/content/posts` in our [step-by-step tutorial](/en/tutorials/add-content-collections/) that uses the codebase from [the Build a Blog tutorial's finished project](https://github.com/withastro/blog-tutorial-demo).
+## Enabling JSON Schema Generation
+
+
+
+If you are working with collections of type `data`, Astro will auto-generate JSON schema files for your editor to get IntelliSense and type-checking. A separate file will be created for each data collection in your project based on your collections defined in `src/content/config.ts` using a library called [`zod-to-json-schema`](https://github.com/StefanTerdell/zod-to-json-schema#known-issues).
+
+This feature requires you to manually set your schema's file path as the value for `$schema` in each data entry file of the collection:
+
+```json title="src/content/authors/armand.json" ins={2}
+{
+ "$schema": "../../../.astro/collections/authors.schema.json",
+ "name": "Armand",
+ "skills": ["Astro", "Starlight"]
+}
+```
+
+Alternatively, you can set this value in your editor settings. For example, to set this value in [VSCode's `json.schemas` setting](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/languages/json#_json-schemas-and-settings), provide the path of files to match and the location of your JSON schema:
+
+```json
+{
+ "json.schemas": [
+ {
+ "fileMatch": [
+ "/src/content/authors/**"
+ ],
+ "url": "./.astro/collections/authors.schema.json"
+ }
+ ]
+}
+```
