Sometimes headless is overkill! The Drupal Acceleration Team has found a way to make modern JS driven Drupal sites while keeping their head intact.

Prerequisite
Awareness of the pros/cons headless vs. non-headless sites.

Outline
- A summary of the problems that must be solved when making a site headless
-An introduction to the JavaScript theme engine, which allows Drupal to use templates in JS using JSX (and potentially) other markup languages.
- A demonstration of how this allows a react driven site to use features such as Drupal's form API with relative ease.
- A demonstration of additional functionality that offers a JavaScript level equivalent of the Drupal's hook system.

Learning Objectives
To see how Drupal can integrate React and similar frameworks into the theme system without having to sacrifice the many things that make Drupal a powerful and unique CMS.
