Rethinking Theme Architecture with Drupal 8

Drupal 8 brings with it a fancy unicorn we call Twig. In this session we'll explore new techniques for building a scalable, maintainable, component based theme. We'll cover the following topics as time allows:

  • Reviewing past theme architectures and identifying the pain points.
  • Creating a new component based file structure and exploring the benefits it provides.
  • Leveraging Drupal Libraries to manage JavaScript and CSS dependencies.
  • Reviewing our use of responsive images.
  • Taking a brief look at some advanced twig techniques such as extends, includes and macros.
