Drupal 11 has officially landed, and it’s more than just another major version. It marks a transformation in how we build, manage, and deliver digital experiences.
1. Recipes: Build Faster, Build Smarter
Recipes solve the tedious setup phase by
offering pre-packaged site features like a blog or job board. They're modular,
reusable, and easy to extend, saving significant configuration time.
2. Single Directory Components (SDC)
Each component now lives in its own folder
with Twig, CSS, JS, and YAML files. This simplifies theming and supports a
component-based architecture.
3. Better Authoring with CKEditor 5
CKEditor 5 introduces collaborative
editing, better formatting, and improved media handling, providing a modern
writing experience.
4. A Leaner, Faster Core
Drupal 11 removes outdated modules and
deprecated code, making core smaller, cleaner, and more maintainable.
5. Under the Hood: Modern Stack
Drupal 11 requires PHP 8.3, Symfony 7, and
Composer 2.7+, ensuring compatibility with modern PHP projects.
6. Admin Experience: Claro, Refined
Claro theme improvements enhance usability,
accessibility, and mobile responsiveness for content editors.
7. Decoupled-Ready and API-First
With JSON:API and better REST support,
Drupal 11 is ready for headless front-ends using React, Vue, or Next.js.
Why Drupal 11 Matters
Drupal 11 improves the experience for
developers, site builders, and content teams by providing a leaner codebase,
faster performance, and better authoring tools.
