Nice Things™️ for Front end devs with Storybook, Vite, Twig and Drupal

Time: Thursday 21st March 14:15-14:30
Room: Corinthian
Track: Web Tools & Complementary Technologies

Front end developers outside Drupal have lots of nice things:

* near instant reloading
* zero config setup for compiling sass/postcss to css
* zero config setup for transpiling Javascript
* component driven design with Storybook
* interaction testing.

For a long time it felt like these weren't possible with Drupal front-end development without secret sauce and workarounds or duplication of your markup between Drupal and a design system.

But with the release of Vite Plugin Twig Drupal everyone can have nice things with little effort.

In this lightning talk we will do a hands on demo of setting up a project for component driven design with Vite, Storybook and Twig.

You deserve nice things, and now you can have them!
