The future of Drupal - ditch the front end! : drupal

I'm by no stretch an expert on Angular, I think I've been messing around at this point for a grand total of a month. I should also point out this isn't something you can just quickly throw up, I'...

That's all I've been using, you can also use services views, there is a patch in the datasource module you will need as well otherwise images tend to kill body text. Also you will need the view...

I've been using a similar approach for Android apps. All Drupal does is generate an XML file, and the app takes care of the rest. I think this is the way the internet as a whole is currently head...

If you're working on D7, I think the easiest way to demonstrate this would be to set up a simple drupal site that can output content as JSON using a view. The Views Datasource module doesn't have...

Would you mind providing a quick tutorial on how you set this up? I know about views and json. Havent messed with angular yet but I know how it works. How do you tie the two together?

The guys who built 4 have forked it for D8 but not entirely sure what is happening with 7.4 support.

Oh crap I just built an omega 4 site, am I screwed?

Maybe splitting the theme end of Drupal off as a separate and not on by default API would be a less drastic and more legacy compatible more. At this point I'm just putting the idea out there fo...

I've been a Drupal themer for 5 years or so now. Started working with Angular about 6 months ago. If I never touch another drupal theme it'll be too soon. The Services part of D8 is definitely th...

This is possible out of the box in D8, in a very flexible way. You can get any data in the format you desire. If you want node 123 in JSON format, just do a request to node/123 with the HTTP head...

This is exactly the approach that d8 is trying to enable. Twig is a useful templates system as a default front-end, but the point of decoupling subsystems is to enable "headless drupal", as dries...

I don't have anything to contribute to a conversation at the moment, except to say that I like the concept and will be playing with it. Thanks for the idea.
