Bricks

drupal.org/project/bricks

Bricks

• Field type (extended Entity Reference) + widget (extended IEF)
   
• Field items are stored as a Flat Table (can be loaded w/o recursion)
   
• Field items are rendered recursively
   
• View mode, CSS class per field item

Bricks

• Works with any Entity type (one per field, but DER can change that)
   
• Two types of references:
  • Regular Entities
  • Layouts!
     
• Draggable UI (tabledrag.js from Drupal core)

Paragraphs

drupal.org/project/paragraphs

Paragraphs

• Custom Content Entity + custom widget
   
• Paragraphs are "stored" per page - not reusable [yet]
   
• Focus on revisioning
   
• Behaviors (to customize output)

with

Bricks + Paragraphs

• Let's keep all content-focused features of Paragraphs
   
• ... and empower them by draggable UI and performance of Bricks
   
• Shortly: Paragraphs for content, Bricks for layout

Bricks + Paragraphs

1. No redundant Entities (two columns example)
    
2. Transparent relation between hosting page and referenced content (layout not matter)
    
3. Better reusability and performance

BrickS + [ECK] + IEF

• If you don't care about revisions or want to control them manually
   
• Use with Custom Block (core), ECK Media or any other Entity type (yes, with Paragraphs also)
   
• Same widget as in Commerce (IEF)

BrickS + [ECK] + IEF + DER*

• No need to "wrap" Entities in another Entities
   
• Reference anything explicitly and arrange in layout you want
   
• Will be possible with IEF + DER
