This course is right for you if you’d like to learn how to make your own Drupal 8 theme using twig templating engine. Our theme is going to be based on Bootstrap 4 framework and it will also be using SASS (forget about vanilla CSS in 2019).
In the beginning, we’ll
walk through Drupal 8 installation and setup procedure using composer (which is a recommended way of installing Drupal 8).
I’ll show you how to use twig templates and the main principles of template overriding in Drupal 8.
I’m gonna share some useful tips (that I use daily on my projects) on how to set up your Drupal 8 instance for smooth and painless development if you plan to continue exploring and developing on Drupal 8.
In the end, I’ll give you a small task regarding templating that will simplify your further theme development.
All the code we add during the course is also available on GitHub repo (see resources of the last video).
Let's go!
