Creating Single Directory Components with Drupal Canvas in Mind

Single Directory Components have changed the way some Drupal sites are themed. Drupal Canvas (formerly Experience Builder) has the potential to change how some Drupal sites are built. What happens when both are available widely?

In this session, we'll take a look at how to create forward-looking Single Directory Components that will integrate nicely with Drupal Canvas. We'll cover the basics of SDCs (especially their component.yml files) as well as demonstrate SDC usage inside of Drupal Canvas.
