Drupal 8 Theming Lessons learned
tassilogroeper
After several projects (starting with beta), we had a lot of face palms and many doubts in the simplicity of theming in Drupal 8. But this bumpy road brought us wisdom and enlightenment. Normally you research for 2hours and end up with 5 lines of code or less. Creating easy solutions.
This talk will tell the little stories we had to face, and how we solved the problems. All our webpages are designed with i18n and performanc in mind.
Some topics we will cover:
- including proprietary fonts, while avoiding the FOUT
- set up a working Sass workflow
- prevent JS to downgrade your page speed
- utilizing views
- paragraphs to the rescue
- many more little tricks we came up with
