New Year - Relativity, Views and Theming Part 1

Details

I hope Santa was good to everyone and your holidays were peaceful and fun. With the new year here it's time to go back and shift focus a bit.

We all had a good dose of documenting Relativity, dealing with name spacing and uncovering just how important underlying architecture really is. But what we didn't do together is deal with Relativity data output and how to theme Relativity, especially Views. So with that said, let's take what we learned and apply it with the new stuff (views, theming and maybe even some REST endpoints for headless).

A new group focus for anyone wishing to participate (me and hector included). We will:

1: Create a Pantheon account (if you don't already have one)

2: Spin-up a vanilla D8 site

3: Load our module recipe

4: Load our base theme and create our own individual sub-themes

5: Create a personal "About Me" site with a few content types.

6: Deal with output, Relativity related displays and how to expand the model and front end.

This model will grow as time goes on where Views will get more elaborate, theming will become part of the process and be able to see a full Relativity build from start to finish in easier to digest pieces.

I'd love to see members present their accomplishments, issues, problems and triumphs. I think taking this approach should help all of us in many different ways.

See ya in 2018 :)
