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.
