Preface
Working with themes in Drupal is not an easy task, and it is typical to get lost digging through all the layers and APIs involved. Modernizing Drupal 10 Theme Development deep-dives into the theme layer of the new Drupal 10.
In this book, we’ll explore how the Content Management System builds its pages, starting with all the basic concepts you need to develop a new Drupal theme from scratch and progressing to new features, such as starter kits, Single Directory Components, and decoupled architectures.
We want you to concentrate on the book’s main topic, so we’ve provided a design system, the Drupal configuration, and an opinionated stack to run a website on your local machine.
Chapter after chapter, Modernizing Drupal 10 Theme Development will guide you from a set of unstyled pages to a production-ready website that is fast and accessible.
Of course, we’ll take a modern approach, using cutting-edge technologies, such as Storybook, theme starter kits, SDCs, and decoupled architectures.
I like to delve about a topic only after all the concepts it builds on are evident; for this reason, the order of some chapters may seem unusual. Trust me – this is better than going back and forth trying to remember in a later chapter what we discussed at the beginning of the book.
