To integrate with our client's custom middleware solution, we needed an embedded Angular app to allow a user to dynamically load and navigate content managed outside Drupal. Learn how we brought the pieces together, including making this outside content part of a "Bento Box" robust search interface.

The University of Toronto's School of Continuing Studies was already using a custom-built middleware solution to manage additional content to what can be managed through their DestinyOne courseware solution. They didn't want all this moved into Drupal, so we worked with them to deliver a custom solution that provided a dynamic client-side interface for this content, but ensured it could be crawled by search engines, in addition to being searchable within the site. Using Angular allowed us to embed search functionality within the content. We'll talk about the challenges we faced and the lessons we learned along the way

A few of the topics you'll learn about:

  • Integrate Drupal with an embedded Angular application
  • Develop a custom Search API processor to index external content
  • Use Angular to allow users to search and navigate related content within a content page
