Drupal 10 Starterkit: Quick Start Guide for Theme Development
The blog titled “Get Up and Running With the Drupal 10 Starterkit Theme Generator” by Akshaya Devadiga in Horizontal Digital. It sheds light on the significance of sub-theming in Drupal development, which involves inheriting a parent theme's resources to create a project's theme foundation. It introduces the Starterkit theme for Drupal 10 as a valuable method for developers to initiate their project themes.
The Starterkit theme's architecture involves inheriting from a core theme named "starterkit_theme," which, in turn, utilizes the core theme "Stable9" as its base. This approach ensures that a Starterkit-generated theme closely resembles the markup and CSS previously provided by the Classy base theme. However, instead of simply inheriting these elements, the Starterkit theme generator copies the defaults into the new theme, streamlining the development process.
The blog highlights the advantages of using Starterkit in Drupal 10, particularly as the Classy theme is deprecated in Drupal 10 and is now a contrib theme for existing projects. Starterkit is positioned as the way forward for developers who wish to leverage the benefits previously offered by Classy in core Drupal. It also provides a smoother onboarding experience for new developers and facilitates faster innovation and updates due to individual theme maintenance. Overall, the introduction of Starterkit in Drupal 10 represents a significant enhancement in theming, reducing dependencies and simplifying the Drupal developer's workflow.
