Experience Level: Advanced
Track: Front-End Development
Presenter: Aidan Foster

In this advanced session, we will review the front-end tools & setup we use at Foster Interactive in our Drupal themes. We bundle this suite of tools in an open-source starter kit called Mainspring.

Mainspring was created internally to allow us to kick off projects faster. It's a clean slate where all the interesting tools and best practices we've observed in other open-source projects have been bundled together in a way that works with Drupal.

Mainspring has evolved to include three major components:

• Gulp/Node Based Development tools to help us code faster and with fewer bugs
• Living Style Guide: (Think a custom, automatically documented version of Twitter Bootstrap for each project)
• Sass Components / Structure (Opinionated refinement of the Drupal 8 CSS coding standards)

The tools used in Mainspring are all "Proudly Built Elsewhere". This session is intended to showcase what works for us. Hopefully, you'll see something interesting you can start using in your own project.

DRINKS & DISCUSSION
Everyone is invited to join us for post-presentation drinks and discussion.

These events are hosted by the non-profit DrupalTO organization, representing Toronto's Drupal community for 10+ years.
