UI Patterns

Define and expose self-contained UI patterns as Drupal plugins and use them seamlessly as drop-in templates for panels, field groups, views, Display Suite field templates, paragraphs, nodes or any other entity types.

The module generates a pattern library page to be used as documentation for content editors or as a showcase for business and clients.

The UI Patterns module also integrates with with tools like PatternLab or modules like Component Libraries thanks to definition overrides.

• UI Patterns: the main module, it exposes the UI Patterns system APIs and it does not do much more than that.
• UI Patterns Library: allows to define patterns via YAML and generates a pattern library page available at /patterns. Learn more
