Site Building 2.0: How Layout Builder is changing everything

EclipseGc

Layout Builder is an experimental module for Drupal 8 and its implications are vast. In this session we're going to dig into the site builder implications of this new tool and how it's going to change your builds for the better.

In this session we'll cover:
  • Entity default layouts
  • Controlling multiple view modes with layouts
  • The new field placement and configuration tools in core
  • Non-node entity layouts (terms, users, block_content entities and more)
  • Custom entity layouts (node 5, block_content 3)
  • Inline Blocks & Block types
  • Preset Block Layouts
  • Revisionable layouts
  • Maybe a smattering of other built in features
We'll also discuss:
  • What their implications for the greater whole of the module are
  • Where we landed in reference to Drupal 8.6
  • What our time table for stability looks like (i.e. when can you start using this in the wild w/o reservations).

Layout builder is changing how everyone works with Drupal. Come get an all access preview of how next generation Drupal sites are working.
