Component Based Development using UI_Patterns
With the component-based approach becoming the standard for Drupal 8 theming we’re beginning to see some slick front end environments show up in Drupal themes. The promise that talented front enders with little Drupal knowledge can jump right in is much closer to reality.
However, before diving into this new front end bliss there are still some gotchas, plus lots of baked in goodies Drupal provides that one will need to have a handle on before getting started.
We will focus on learning about UI_Patterns module, which although still in Release Candidate state, it already solves many problems originated from the Drupal integration process. UI Patterns creates Drupal Plugins of your FE components which then can be easily rendered within Drupal.
