Rich Web Applications with ReactJS and Drupal 8
Drupal GovCon 2017 presentation on: Rich Web Applications with ReactJS and Drupal 8
ReactJS is the shiny new JavaScript framework that everybody wants to use in their next project. It's a component based approach to building JavaScript based web-applications and SPA's (single page applications). But any JavaScript front-end needs a RESTful service based back-end to store data and implement business logic. Drupal 8 has RESTful services built into core (Drupal 7 has it too, but in contrib modules). So if you have significant investments in Drupal, and need to implement specialized front-ends with Drupal back-end, or if you want to integrate rich web applications within your Drupal site, then this presentation could be useful.
Agenda:
- What are JavaScript front-ends?
- What are RESTful back-ends?
- Introduction to ReactJS
- Configuring Drupal 8 to serve RESTful services
- Writing a ReactJS application that leverages Drupal
- Pulling content from Drupal into ReactJS app
- Creating Drupal content from a ReactJS app
- Authentication & Security
- Best practices
