A few years ago, decoupled or headless Drupal - where Drupal is used as an API with a separate front-end - was very popular with some large Drupal agencies and clients using it.<\/p>\n\n

I gave a conference talk<\/a> about how to use Drupal as a backend application for a Vue.js frontend.<\/p>\n\n

Recently, though, I haven't heard much about it.<\/p>\n\n

Some previous advocates have moved back to the more traditional approach.<\/p>\n\n

Interestingly, though, I did hear quite a bit about it at DrupalCon and about Drupal and Next.js in particular.<\/p>\n\n

I want to try using Drupal with Astro in the future and see what the landscape is like now.<\/p>\n\n

What about you?<\/h2>\n\n

Do you use Drupal in a decoupled or headless way? If so, what do you use for the frontend?<\/p>\n\n

If not, or if you've moved back to a more traditional approach, why?<\/p>\n\n

Reply and let me know.<\/p>\n\n ", "format": "full_html", "processed": "\n
