Recipes

Mon, 08/19/2024 - 08:48

When I first heard the vision for Starshot (now Drupal CMS), I knew exactly how I wanted to contribute. For years I have been working on trying to make it easier to quickly build Drupal sites following established best practices. I had been working on a set of modules I called Configuration Kits, but they were conceptually very similar to Recipes, albeit in a simpler (and less flexible) form.

Managing dates and times is often complex: recurring events, timezones, daylight savings times, regional formatting conventions, and more. Add in additional presentation requirements like add-to-calendar links, registration links, and related content (like agendas, that change for each date instance) and the complexity can seem bewildering.

Fortunately Drupal offers a rich toolset for solving these challenges. In this session we'll explore the solutions, not only showing how they work, but also detailing the modules and the configuration needed.

The code to use recipes has already been merged into Drupal 10.3, and will be a key feature in how we use Drupal 11, and the coming Starshot initiative.

But how will recipes make your life easier, building and managing Drupal websites? In this talk we'll explore exactly what a recipe is, how you can use them, and how you can make your own. We'll talk about the recipes already available, and how the recipes still being developed will play a central role in the future of Drupal.
