Headless Drupal + AngularJS

A working "Headless Drupal" example implementation - an AngularJS app set up to talk to Drupal 8 vis the rest.module.

See a demonstration online:

http://dev-headless-drupal-8.gotpantheon.com/

This is a quick and dirty demo, intended as a starting place for discussion, and to help others get hacking quickly. There's a lot of work TODO.

Pull requests are welcome.

Quickstart

  1. Clone this repo, run bower install and the
  2. Visit app/index.html

You are now seeing content pulled from the Drupal 8 instance backing the demo site that I have running on Pantheon. Feel free to start experimenting with your own Angular implementation. Or start a demo with another framework!

Running it w/your own Drupal Install

Going beyond the most basic demo, you will likely want to customize the back-end a little bit as well. Getting your own up and running is pretty simple:

  1. Start with a fresh Drupal 8 instance. Use Pantheon if you like
  2. Enable all the core REST Services module.
  3. Copy in the provided rest.settings.yml configuration.
  4. Change the mySite variable at the top of app.js or alt.js to point to your own site.
  5. ???
  6. Profit!

TODO:

  • Expand this Readme.md to explain how it works.
  • Fixing whatever I've done n00bishly in Angular
  • Better packaging/documentation of how to configure Drupal.
  • Extend DEMO to include CRUD for nodes.
  • Add custom routes to the demo.
