Description

Working with themes in Drupal can be challenging, given the number of layers and APIs involved. Modernizing Drupal 10 Theme Development helps you explore the new Drupal 10’s theme layer in depth. With a fully implemented Drupal website on the one hand and a set of Storybook components on the other, you’ll begin by learning to create a theme from scratch to match the desired final layout. Once you’ve set up a local environment, you’ll get familiarized with design systems and learn how to map them to the structures of a Drupal website. Next, you’ll bootstrap your new theme and optimize Drupal’s productivity using tools such as webpack, Tailwind CSS, and Browsersync. As you advance, you’ll delve into all the theme layers in a step-by-step way, starting from how Drupal builds an HTML page to where the template files are and how to add custom CSS and JavaScript. You’ll also discover how to leverage all the Drupal APIs to implement robust and maintainable themes without reinventing the wheel, but by following best practices and methodologies. Toward the end, you’ll find out how to build a fully decoupled website using json:api and Next.js. By the end of this book, you’ll be able to confidently build custom Drupal themes to deliver state-of-the-art websites and keep ahead of the competition in the modern frontend world.

Don't let the title make you think it is about theme development. The book provides excellent coverage of general Drupal knowledge, so much so that I highly recommend this book as a go-to resource for any frontend or full-stack developer new to Drupal. I recommend it for any backend developer working on a large team so that they understand the work their frontend colleagues are performing and how to assist them best.I enjoyed the flow of the chapters. Reading this book made me think back to when I had my first job building websites, which was primarily front-end development. The book takes you down the journey of a developer tasked to implement a design onto a Drupal site.There is a starting code base that you clone down and work with throughout the book. This felt natural for how build phases may work: backend developers or site builders scaffold the site, and then it is themed.The book begins with onboarding the reader to create a local environment, using the demo code base, some basics of how Drupal works, and how to create a new theme. Then, it dives into styling individual landing pages and components—each step along the way, the book layers in more Drupal knowledge alongside theming implementation.

tldr; No matter your current experience with Drupal Theming, after going through the straight-forward examples, you will be a confident Drupal Themer!The opening line of the Preface is brutally honest, "Working with themes in Drupal is not an easy task, and it is typical to get lost digging through all the layers and APIs involved."This is especially true for those like me who never did take the time to fully understand Drupal Theming once we switched to TWIG. I have a lot to learn!I found the language and pace of the book to be excellent and the instructions very thorough and contextualized. Following along is quite smooth. The extra bits of relevant facts is always appreciated!The 1st chapter is a truly helpful explanation on setting up DDEV with the book's Demo Site. This is SO VALUABLE! Following along with a real site is absolutely essential for understanding these concepts.After that you are on the open road to understanding Drupal 10 Theming by starting to build your own Bootstrap3 based theme.The "Building a Decoupled Frontend" chapter was especially valuable to me. As in all preceding chapters, the instructions to DIY are pleasantly detailed and include side-bar nice-to-knows to represent when the scope of the current action could be different under dynamic circumstances.

I'm not sure I was expecting as much from this book as I'm discovering it has to offer. I'm more of a backend guy but this book has me absorbed. It takes you from the basics of installing the site to configuring it for local development to summarizing available theme options, and then helping you become a well rounded themer. Very glad I got this book.

I'm a back-end developer with Total Job Asset Control Services Ltd., and my tendency is to want to put too much markup into the business logic. Understanding the flexibility and power of the theme subsystem has been very valuable to me, especially as I move the application from Drupal 7 to Drupal 10. I've read a couple of other related Drupal 10 books by the same publisher, but find this book to be the one I wanted to read first.The audience still should know some programming, since there is a fair bit of PHP and related content, and the HTML/CSS is more of between-the-lines kind of thing.I've not completely read the book, but so far, I'm impressed. It has given me more of an understanding of how the parts play together, letting me decide when I want to do a deeper dive into Twig or the component aspects. The writing style is pretty easy to follow too.As far as accuracy, I encountered one part where they provide code, but not where to put it. If you're following along with the downloaded code, it won't be an issue, but it's unclear in the book. Otherwise, everything else seems to be good.
