Kalastatic Drupal Integration

Kalastatic is a static site framework for prototyping, style-guiding and building out CMS-less websites. This module integrates Kalastatic with Drupal.

Why?

For a prototype to be truly alive, it must co-exist with the dynamic assets generated by the CMS. When the user installs a module in Drupal, CSS and JS should be brought into the prototype context for regression testing on components and templates.

Conversely, the prototype as a canonical style guide should be pulled into the CMS. This approach ensures a portable and agnostic approach to design, and eases portability across multiple systems – avoiding re-implementation, and centralizing maintenance.

Features

• Provides pretty paths at /kalastatic
• Permissions for viewing your protoype
• A configurable path to Kalastatic resources

Requirements

In theory, none. In practice, this modules does nothing without Kalastatic, which we recommend residing inside your subtheme. We of course recommend Kalatheme as a base theme.
