Meta Box
A developer-oriented field framework, driven from a description.
Meta Box takes a code-first approach to fields and relationships. Delta wraps it in the same content-types surface as every other provider, so the agent can register types, taxonomies and field groups without knowing which plugin is underneath.
Meta Box AIO is detected separately and exposes the same abilities.
Abilities this integration exposes
delete-content-taxonomy

get-content-type

get-field-group

list-content-taxonomies

list-content-types
Lists the custom post types registered through the active content plugin, with their slug, label and provider.
list-field-groups
