Prerequisites:

  • Some knowledge of front-end development

  • Heard somebody say “components” and thought it sounded neat

 

Components and UI Pattern Libraries are the future of building internet-connected graphic user experiences. Whether it’s React’s JS components or a static styleguide, front-end developers want to handcraft reusable, dynamic components that are consistent across applications and platforms - web, mobile, desktop, and connected devices. Together these components make libraries that form the basis of modern client deliverables - but getting them into Drupal is not an easy feat.

 

From one of the developers working hard on solving this issue comes the latest on the contrib and core development. We’ll cover not only a brief on components in Drupal, but the modules that are out now. Most importantly, I’ll show you:

 

  • How components add value while requiring very little investment in the pipeline itself

  • Real world Drupal 8 production components

  • The current contrib modules that make component-based builds a reality

  • The future of components in Drupal contrib space…

  • … and in Drupal 8 core
