We want Drupal to be the CMS of choice for client-side MVC frameworks.
We want an API for renderable structure and context-aware template-driven JSON representations of pages.
The intention of this working group is to discuss how Drupal core should change for the ability for many different presentation layers to interact with Drupal, especially client-side frameworks, not just Drupal's own theme system.
We are working on drafting a manifesto on GitHub.
For some background, see Notes and Discussion from DrupalCon Austin.
Our todo list to get to robust RESTful client interaction support
- Document the current REST API
- Maybe use something like Apiary
- Verify that we have PATCH support and that we can make individual field updates
- Implement OPTIONS support
- Create a benchmark implementation on a popular framework like Angular or Backbone
- Support retrieval of specific content entity views over REST
- Support retrieval of specific content entity edit forms and fields with widgets over REST
- Support linking and mapping of associated templates when retrieving of specific content entity views over REST
- Develop a cache-busting file name fingerprinting strategy so that templates and other resources retrieved from entity links can be versioned

Hello,
I created a module that served headless pages through javascript, and then I modified it so drupal can run as a service with full drupal, at the same time as serving headless. I did a case study if any one wanted to take a look!

Read moreWhen is Custom entity needed in Drupal 8?
Drupal 8 core has entities like node, user, taxonomy..etc., which helps to process different types of data based on their usage.
Likewise, we can create custom entity to maintain structured data like customer data, inventory data, products data..etc.,
When is Custom entity needed in Drupal 8?
1) When there are requirements for huge number of fields.
2) When exposing data to different applications. The "UUID" generated will be used as reference for each entry to other applications.
Progressive Decoupling w/ Angular. Who's doing it & what's your experience?
Hey all,
I've been having some succes with the PDB module https://www.drupal.org/project/pdb
The module does exactly what I need which is allowing me to insert Angular Components as Drupal Blocks.
At BADCamp last weekend, PDB author, Matt Davis, reminded me that the last commit was almost a year ago. I received that as an indication that no one should expect any ongoing work on this project.
Is anyone progressively decoupling D8 w/ Angular 2,3,4, or 5?
If so, are you using PDB or something custom?
Angular Separate Domain Drupal simple web app
I have been working on a simple web app trying to decouple a cms to use a different front end on different domain.
The goal of the app was to be a gameroom lobby that would display gameservers, how many players they had, a link to them. These would then be editable by the gameserver itself w/ players having to login to see the lobby.
I was able to setup a drupal enabled the api, test the calls through postman and vscode rest client. I got login, logout, create, and update content to work from these clients.

Help Starting a Headless Drupal System
Hi,
my name is Tony. I work for a large online high school. We deliver all of our content as static HTML pages via a learning management system.
We are currently designing a new content and content delivery system and are interested in using JSON objects to represent our pages drupal to store the objects. After some research it appears that this approach is already in use by some organizations and is called headless drupal.
