Hi everyone.

First of all, I've made a DrupalCon Amsterdam 2014 headless roundup in which I list all the major events, report on two of the most important and then raise some questions and concerns. Comments are very welcome. I've been using this architecture on various projects over the last few months and the subject interests me greatly.

Secondly, I've made a proposal for a session at DrupalCon Latin America 2015 in which I will be presenting an attempt at a reference headless demo system. See Anatomy of a working reusable Headless Drupal system.

I would really appreciate feedback, so I'm reproducing the text here. Would greatly appreciate knowing I'm on the right track:

The session will demonstrate and dissect working Headless Drupal systems with swappable tiers which you can take home, tinker with and reuse yourself. It is conceived as a contribution towards joshk's call for implementations of a common demo for Headless Drupal.

Steps to be covered:

  • Drupal structured content modeller and content generator CMS delivering content via a RESTful API to a Drupal client
  • Same Drupal CMS system now separating out a Node.js + Express delivery server exposing same RESTful API to same Drupal client
  • Handling authentication and authorization on all systems with Drupal login
  • Handling user session management on all systems
  • Integrating Angular.js in evolutionary form into the Drupal client
  • Adding a pure Angular.js client consuming the same RESTful API

Resources to be made available via slides, blog articles and complete code repo.
