Decoupled Drupal: Real World Experiences with D8 as an API

taylor.solomon

Drupal 8 ships with a lot of great tools to help build an API. My team and I spent the last year using D8 as the backend API to  EmberJS frontends. This talk is a collection of things we learned along the way, including:

  • Path Handling
  • Replicating Drupal's menu structure on the frontend
  • API Structure traps and recommendations
  • How to cache custom route data
  • Security measures

This session is meant for intermediate to advanced level developers who are wondering if running headless is worth doing. and are looking for successful implementations.
