New Drupalize.Me Course Covers Single Directory Components in Drupal Core

Staff Reporter

Joe Shindelar of Drupalize.Me has released the first phase of a new course focused on Single Directory Components (SDCs), one of the most impactful additions to Drupal theming since Twig. Now part of Drupal core, SDCs bundle templates, styles, JavaScript, and metadata into a single directory, simplifying component development and aligning Drupal with modern frontend workflows.

The course guides developers through creating and using SDCs, covering everything from file structure and YAML configuration to integrating components in Twig templates and modules. It also offers best practices and debugging tips, making it a practical resource for both theme and module developers.

Available tutorials include:

Anatomy of a Drupal SDC
Creating your first component
Adding YAML, Twig, CSS, and JavaScript
Embedding components in templates and modules

Additional tutorials are in development, aiming to address advanced workflows and theming migration strategies.
