Anyone who has attended a Drupal event in the last few years has had plenty of opportunities to learn all about the technical details of implementing a headless Drupal site. If you haven't already been exposed to this concept the TLDR version is: Headless aka decoupled Drupal is the process of using your Drupal site as the backend for another framework, most typically a Javascript framework. "The right time to add an abstraction to a design is at the point when you start feeling the pain of not having it."

Now that views are part of the Drupal 8 core, all the functionality to create views or lists comes straight out of the box. Standard filtering options however are limited to columns from the same entity. In this post I’ll demonstrate how to build a filter that uses external information. We use the Domain module as an example and filter on current domain.

The InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) is a peer-to-peer distributed file system that seeks to connect all computing devices with the same system of files. In some ways, IPFS is similar to the Web, but IPFS could be seen as a single BitTorrent swarm, exchanging objects within one Git repository. In other words, IPFS provides a high throughput content-addressed block storage model, with content-addressed hyperlinks. This forms a generalized Merkle DAG, a data structure upon which one can build versioned file systems, blockchains, and even a Permanent Web.

why have certified developers at all? The answer is going to be different for different people, but for us, it’s about making sure that customers understand that Palantir is willing and able to tackle large projects that might otherwise go to proprietary vendors by default.

A simple aggregation module for Drupal 7 that reduces the number of aggregated files by: Moving the “System” aggregate to the start of the “Module” aggregate. Preventing modules from adding CSS files with the "screen" media type. (They are converted to "all".) Preventing external CSS files, inline CSS, IE conditional CSS files, or different media type CSS files from splitting aggregate files due to the order they were added to the system. Preventing empty aggregate files from being loaded. Project goal To be a configuration-less aggregation option that works better than core.
