Octahedroid Details Transition from Drupal Console to Drupal Decoupled

Staff Reporter

Jesus Manuel Olivas, writing for Octahedroid, outlined the journey from Drupal Console to Drupal Decoupled, two projects developed to address practical developer and enterprise challenges within the Drupal ecosystem. Drupal Console was created during the transition from Drupal 7 to 8 to assist developers with code generation, debugging, and learning the new architecture, leveraging Symfony components and offering multilingual support. Despite initial resistance from parts of the community, the tool became widely adopted and supported developers during Drupal 8's early years.

As Drupal evolved, Octahedroid shifted focus to Drupal Decoupled, an opinionated headless architecture that includes a pre-configured backend with GraphQL, front-end starters for frameworks like Remix and Next.js, and tools such as GraphQL Compose, Decoupled Preview iframe, and Build Hooks. These contributions aim to support modern API-driven workflows while maintaining editorial usability. The article emphasizes Octahedroid’s philosophy of turning client-driven solutions into open-source tools that address real-world problems.
