DrupalCon Los Angeles 2015: Double Header: RedHat.Com, Free Cloud Backups

Session 1 - RedHat.Com - An Architectural Case Study

Time: 10:45am-11:15am
Company: Phase2

Red Hat needed a new pattern library that would be flexible enough to integrate into our current Drupal 7 site, yet powerful enough to build future D7, D8 and other Red Hat branded sites. This pattern library would create a consistent, brand approved, look across all of our web properties, and become a common UI development platform for Designers, UX, Devs and Project managers.

In this case study we’ll explain our architectural approach to deliver dozens of tightly packaged components to Redhat.com and other web properties through a variety of distribution methods.

This case study includes:

Modular Layout and Independent Components

A Smart “Opt-In” Context System

Element Queries, Susy Grids, Flex-box

Automated System for Builds, Tests, Deploys, and Tagging

Per Component Visual Regression Testing with Grunt and PhantomCSS

Distribution of Versioned Theme using Git Tags and Bower

A Common Development Platform

Cross-team Collaboration Using a Common Language

Fully Documented Styleguide for Multiple Personas

Drupal Integration

Red Hat internal “contrib” module

Per component theming / templates

Views UI allowing “build-your-own” WebUX patterns
