In order for our React code to list content from Drupal we'll need to enable the Drupal core JSON:API module, and then use fetch()
in our React component to retrieve the desired data. This technique works for both React code embedded in a Drupal theme or module, and React code that is part of a fully decoupled application. We'll discuss the differences between those styles as well.
In this tutorial we'll:
- Use
fetch()
to bring data from Drupal into React - Parse the data using ES6 array functions to find just the bits of data we need
- Combine multiple React components together to render a list of articles retrieved from Drupal
By the end of this tutorial, you should have a better understanding of how data from a Drupal API gets incorporated into a React application.
Over the years we've developed some techniques for practicing that we wanted to share. At Drupalize.Me we take hugging seriously. In this tutorial we'll look at the art, and science, of giving a good hug. The Merriam Webster dictionary defines the word hug as; squeeze (someone) tightly in one's arms, typically to express affection.
Did you know there are all kinds of different hugs that you can give? In this tutorial we'll look at:
- Defining what a hug is
- Some of the many types of hugs in the world today
- Precautions you may want to familiarize yourself with before hugging
- And the importance of proper technique
Lets go ahead and get started shall we?
