Overview of this book

Drupal is an open source content management framework that can be used for developing websites and simplifying online management of content for users. This book is a must-have for web developers who are looking to create professional-grade websites using Drupal 8. While building 7 different Drupal websites, we will focus on implementing the out of the box features that come with Drupal 8 and see how we can make some complex sites with minimal custom code. Focusing completely on Drupal 8, this book will help you leverage the new Drupal 8 features such as creating a different types and layouts of content using configuration to build in core with its built-in web services facilities, and effortless authoring using the new CKEditor with an effortless and efficient industry standard approach. The book starts with getting started with the development environment of Drupal. Each chapter will start with a brief overview of the site to be built and the required features. Then, we will proceed to create customized modules and themes and integrate third-party plugins. Lastly, you will learn about "headless" Drupal that uses RESTful services that would help you to display content outside of Drupal By the end of the book, you will be able to implement the knowledge gained to build your own custom websites using Drupal 8.

Once we have set up and logged into Drupal, you will see that its look is plain (Fig 1.0) and minimal, and it is a great installation profile for simple websites that don't require much functionality.

This usually tends to be when we decouple Drupal or make it headless, which is another popular term used. We will cover this in the last chapter.

You will also notice that there is no navigation. To get to our modules page, either go to /admin/modules or click Administration and then click Extend.

It's so plain here. In fact, we only get 10 modules enabled. They are as follows:

  • Block
  • Database Logging
  • Field
  • Filter
  • Node
  • System
