Evolving constantly to enrich user experiences
With news of data breaches and hacking often
hitting headlines it is critical for you to keep
your Drupal CMS updated. Content Management
Systems are often soft targets of hackers who use
exploit codes available online to take advantage
of known vulnerabilities.
11
Outdated versions are more prone to cyber attacks
as they expose the vulnerabilities of websites.
In order to address this issue the Drupal
community issue new releases that fixes severe
vulnerabilities. The CMS is slowly yet constantly
evolving in the path towards making updates and
maintenance easier. They want to fix the issue of
difficult and expensive updates. They are
shifting from manual updates towards auto-updates
and some of the milestones are depicted in the
figure below.
12
Broadening horizons by expanding technology stack
Data from Drupal Business Survey reveals that
many Drupal Web Development Agencies are using
non-Drupal technologies to create rich
experiences as well as expand their reach.
13
As shown in the image below, many are using
modern JavaScript frameworks which substantiate
the fact that web developers are also keen on
using JavaScript. The need for multi-channel
publishing as well as the shift of websites to
more interactive web applications suggests that
decoupled Drupal should leverage client-side
frameworks in order to stay relevant in the
changing CMS landscape.
14
In the past year the web service APIs of Drupal
have progressed significantly and now Drupal
community would allow developers to use their
JavaScript framework of choice instead of being
opinionated about which one to use. The founder
and Project lead of Drupal, Dries Buytaert has
officially proposed adding a modern JavaScript
framework, specifically React, to Drupal
core. Now lets move on to the important
initiatives for the future of Drupal.
15
Future initiatives to make Drupal more appealing
You can imagine how the future of Drupal would
take shape from the following recommendations
that Dries Buytaert made in DrupalCon Vienna 2017
(1) Invest more in headless Drupal (API-first)
16
Decoupled architecture and headless Drupal are
undoubtedly going to play pivotal roles in the
future of Drupal. So Dries suggested that you
keep investing in Drupals API-first initiative.
You should at least expand Drupals web service
APIs and adopt JSON API as your standard.
Besides, you would need to analyze the ways of
providing API consumers more access to and
control over Drupals capabilities.
17
(2) Embrace JavaScript framework of your choice
to front Drupal
Now developers would have the flexibility to
embrace and use any JavaScript framework they
like for front-end development of Drupal-powered
applications. You can build front-end
applications on top of Drupal with Angular,
Ember, Vue, React and others. This is undeniably
an awesome feature.
18
(3) Improve Drupals own administrative user
interfaces with a JavaScript framework
19
JavaScript is great at creating lasting user
experience for website users hence Dries suggest
that you can leverage JavaScript for that without
abandoning your stable base of PHP. For that you
would need to move relevant parts of your PHP
code to JavaScript. He believes that these user
experience improvements in turn would benefit
Drupals authoring and website building
experience.
20
Your content modeling, configuration tools and
content listing would become more
application-like as well as faster with a
JavaScript framework. This is because you can now
use instantaneous feedback instead of submitting
forms subsequently. Moreover, you can dogfood
your own web service APIs by using a decoupled
administrative interface.
21
(4) Begin with redesigning and rebuilding few
features
You can pick one or two features and rewrite
their user interfaces using a JavaScript
framework of your choice rather than rewriting
the whole of Drupals administrative user
interfaces. This would enable you to learn more
about the advantages and disadvantages of using
that particular JavaScript framework. If you need
to change your approach or the framework and even
allow you to dogfood some of your own APIs.
Rewriting few features wont be that painful even
if you need to revert back the changes.
