Overview of this book

Learning Drupal can be challenging because of its robust, extensible, and powerful capability for digital experiences, making it difficult for beginners to grasp and use it for application development. If you’re looking to break into Drupal with hands-on knowledge, this Drupal 10 Masterclass is for you. With this book, you’ll gain a thorough knowledge of Drupal by understanding its core concepts, including its technical architecture, frontend, backend, framework, and latest features. Equipped with foundational knowledge, you’ll bootstrap and install your first project with expert guidance on maintaining Drupal applications. Progressively, you’ll build applications using Drupal’s core features such as content structures, multilingual support, users, roles, Views, search, and digital assets. You’ll discover techniques for developing modules and themes and harness Drupal’s robust content management through layout builder, blocks, and content workflows. The book familiarizes you with prominent tools such as Git, Drush, and Composer for code deployments and DevOps practices for Drupal application management. You’ll also explore advanced use cases for content migration and multisite implementation, extending your application’s capabilities. By the end of this book, you’ll not only have learned how to build a successful Drupal application but may also find yourself contributing to the Drupal community.

Single Directory Components (SDC) were added to Drupal 10.1 as an experimental module, and they are expected to be stable in Drupal core around 10.3.0. They are Drupal’s implementation of component-based architecture.

While experimental, the SDC module needs to be explicitly enabled. After SDC stabilizes, it will just be part of the theme system, with no separate module.

To use SDC, you’ll need to create a themename/components directory, with a minimum of componentName.component.yml and componentName.twig files. You can add componentName.css and componentName.js as well, and they’ll be included when the component is loaded. Once the component is created, it can be included in another template using Twig’s built-in include() function or embed tag.

The benefit of using SDC is that relevant code is grouped, and libraries are automatically generated. In addition, it enables quick reusable components that can be moved from...
