Web APIs and WebAssembly Revolutionize Drupal CMS Trials: Matt Glaman Writes
Matt Glaman, a prominent Drupal developer, has expanded on his DrupalCon Barcelona talk in a recent blog post exploring the cutting-edge technologies powering the Drupal CMS trial experience. This innovative approach leverages Web APIs and WebAssembly (Wasm) to create a groundbreaking trial environment for Drupal, running PHP directly in the browser.
WebAssembly, an open web standard, allows for executing compiled code in browsers. Glaman details how the Drupal trial experience transforms the traditional server-based stack by enabling browsers to act as both web servers and runtime environments. Using Emscripten, the PHP interpreter, written in C, is compiled into WebAssembly, facilitating seamless execution of PHP scripts in the browser.
The trial employs IndexedDB for file storage and session management, service workers for handling PHP requests, and dedicated workers to ensure non-blocking execution. Additionally, a custom web component simplifies user interaction, and the Broadcast Channel API synchronizes communication between various components.
