DrupalCon Amsterdam 2014: Twig and the new Drupal 8 Theme System
About this talk
This talk covers the new template engine Twig and the simplified theme layer introduced in Drupal 8. The speakers, who are co-maintainers of the Drupal 8 theme system, explain the new syntax and demonstrate how to use Twig in everyday theme development. They provide insights into the key changes from Drupal 7, including an overview of the theme system's internals, the benefits of theme hook suggestions, and the phases of the theme system that allow for custom alterations. This session is particularly valuable for theme developers and contributors looking to adapt their code for Drupal 8.
