Tomorrow I'll be giving a workshop about the Drupal 8 media. As part of it we'll build a "media" site from scratch. We will start with the standard Drupal installation, add modules and configuration and see how far we can get.
If you are planning to attend the workshop and want to be fully productive I'd ask you to take some time and prepare your development environment. We will need Drupal 8 checkout with the following modules:
- Blazy
- CToolS
- DropzoneJS
- Embed
- Entity API
- Entity browser
- Entity embed
- Field formatter
- Inline entity form
- Media entity
- Media entity image
- Media entity Instagram
- Media entity Slideshow
- Media entity Twitter
- Slick
- Slick media
- URL embed
- Video embed field
Besides that we'll also need Dropzone and Slick libraries, which you can install based on the docs provided in the README files of the respective modules ([1], [2]).
You can download all dependencies manually or use the project template that I provided for you. Simply clone the repository and run composer install && composer drupal-scaffold in the project root.
