DrupalCon Vienna 2017: Using typed data and configuration schema for maximum flexibility
About this talk
This session explores the power of typed data API in Drupal 8 and its role in making the configuration translation module possible. The talk examines how the configuration translation module creates dynamic routes for various configuration entities, enabling in-place translation instead of relying on interface translation. Additionally, the speaker introduces configuration schema, demonstrating how it can be added to custom or contributed modules using a YAML file to leverage its significant benefits. The session also briefly covers the Configuration views module, which utilizes configuration schema to transform most core admin pages into views. Attendees should possess a foundational understanding of Drupal 8 module development.
