Strapi Smart Populate Plugin

By Notum

Smart Populate lets you populate Strapi's dynamic zones, components, and relations by passing a single "smart" value instead of hand-writing large populate objects. It reads your component schemas at startup and builds populate fragments only for the component types actually present on a given entity, so large, deeply nested page builders don't pull in data they don't need. It works with both the Document Service API and the REST API, ships TypeScript helpers so "smart" shows up as an autocomplete option, and adds a warning banner in the Content-Type Builder whenever a populate override might be stale after a schema change. Anything that needs to go deeper than one relation level can be configured explicitly with populateOverrides. Open source, maintained by Notum.
