Create a custom post type

You can create a post type using register_post_type function. Simply also allows you to directly configure your post types in the config folder like this :

config/post-types/project.yaml
post_type:
  project:
    public: true
    labels:
      name: Projets
      singular_name: Projet
    supports:
      - thumbnail
      - editor
      - title
note

All the available parameters are the same of register_post_type function.

Using translation method in Yaml files​

You can translate using trans(words, domain), Simply translate it to __() function.

config/post-types/project.yaml
post_type:
  project:
    public: true
    labels:
      name: trans(Projects, mydomain)
      singular_name: trans(Project, mydomain)
    supports:
      - thumbnail
      - editor
      - title
