Drupalize.Me React & Drupal Code Examples

This repo contains the example code used in the https://drupalize.me/series/drupal-8-and-reactjs series.

Note: The hello-world branch contains a trimmed down version of the code that reflects the application as it would be after completing this tutorial covering how to Connect React to a Drupal Theme or Module.

Drupal

The /drupal directory contains a Drupal 10 project with basic configuration for JSON:API, and to demonstrate embedding a React application inside a Drupal theme or module.

See the drupal-9 branch for older examples including Drupal 8/9 and React 16.

Install all the Drupal dependencies:

cd drupal
composer install

Then import the database snapshot in drupal/backup.sql.gz.

The default admin account is admin/admin. You can change this with drush upwd admin {NEW_PASSWORD}.

If you're using ddev this contains ddev configuration and can be started with:

cd drupal
# Start ddev.
ddev start
# Install/update composer dependencies.
ddev composer install
# Import the database snapshot.
ddev import-db --src=./backup.sql.gz
# Run any necessary database updates, and re-import config.
ddev exec "drush updb -y && drush cim -y && drush cr -y"

The /drupal/web/themes/react_example_theme/ contains a custom theme with a React application embedded via the theme. This demonstrates using Webpack to bundle and transpile React/JavaScript files.

cd /drupal/web/themes/react_example_theme;
npm install
# Build the production JS files:
npm run build
# Build development JS files
npm run build:dev
# Start webpack in --watch mode while doing development
npm run start
# Start webpack in --watch mode with hot module reloading
# Requires some config to proxy requests to Drupal see .proxyrc
npm run start:hmr

Decoupled React Application

The /react-decoupled directory contains an example decoupled React application built with create-react-app. It is built to interact with the API provided by Drupal installed in /drupal.

To download dependencies and start the local development server run:

cd react-decoupled
npm install
npm run start

You might need to update some configuration to make sure it points to your local Drupal installation.
