DrupalCon Baltimore 2017: Pinterest’s Component Based Design

This talk explores how Pinterest adopts component-based design practices and implements best-in-class technology using Drupal 8. The speaker discusses the challenges of communication and efficiency between design and development teams, particularly in an Agile environment. By leveraging a new integrated design approach, Pinterest utilizes a flexible Paragraph system within Drupal 8 to create reusable components and patterns. This methodology not only accelerates the development cycle but also empowers content editors to design new layouts independently. Attendees will gain insights into setting up a custom Pattern Lab powered theme and how this innovative approach fosters parallel development across frontend and backend processes.
