Hello folks,

We are speaking about JAMstack nowadays. Possibly thinking day and night, how to make our CMS headless.

Supposedly we have a way out. Just think that, once you modify and moderator published the content, it’s become a static content again. So instead of serving content from CMS as Rest export, personally speaking, markdowns are a more suitable option for me. However it’s my opinion, and you can differ.

After having plenty of cup of coffee and discussion, we almost agreed on the markdown approach. We were uncertain about how to leverage existing CMS configurations but agreed on JSON export. By saying configuration’s I mean to say views, D7 PBP, menus, block distribution etc. etc. etc.

But think about a Drupal site, how do you export your content to markdowns.

Here comes our thought process, how about a Drupal module, and maybe a WP plugin, in the future.

We nearly interspersed, experimented, and both Drupal 7 & 8 RC versions released. The stable release is planned for this quarter only. Github is also in place with API V3 integration. Bitbucket is also planned for the next quarter.

The Drupal project: https://www.drupal.org/project/markdown_exporter

Stay tuned my friends….
