"Creating an enterprise level editorial experience for D8 using React"
summary
A React-based single-page editorial interface for Drupal 8 is built and demoed, using React + Drupal 8 + JSON:API (JSON:API Extras) with content stored as content entities and Paragraphs as entities; editors get drag‑and‑drop, in‑place editing, placeholders and near‑real‑time saves with no page refreshes. The implementation exposes the pain of multiple REST requests for nested entities (images, teasers) and proposes GraphQL to reduce requests. A contributed module + React components are planned to automate paragraph setup and payload shaping.
