Velir Introduces the Views REST Serializer Extra Module for Drupal 10

Staff Reporter

Velir, a digital marketing agency, has unveiled an innovative Drupal 10 module designed to revolutionize decoupled search experiences. Effective search functionality is a critical component for websites in today's digital terrain. Velir recognizes the complexities involved in optimizing site search, from backend configurations to integrating powerful search technologies like Apache Solr, Algolia, Meili, and Coveo. Furthermore, they prioritize user experience, aiming to make site searches lightning-fast and user-friendly.

During Drupalcon 2023, Velir's senior Drupal developer, Ron Pearl, delivered a talk demonstrating how to enhance search experiences using Acquia Site Studio. Pearl showcased a custom component that empowers content editors to incorporate various search interfaces onto web pages. These interfaces can range from simple listings to pre-canned section search experiences, with or without facets. Velir pledged to release a new Drupal module that streamlines the development of such experiences with React, Vue, or other JavaScript libraries by creating a Views wrapper that includes essential metadata.

The Views REST Serializer Extra module, developed by Velir and maintained by Kevin Quillen, extends the default response from a Drupal View to include vital data such as result items, total results, available search filters, and more. This approach empowers developers to build comprehensive search experiences using JavaScript. It promotes code reusability on both the backend and frontend, allowing multiple search and content listings across a site while maintaining a consistent HTTP response. The module even offers configuration options, enabling easy adjustments to match frontend JavaScript code, providing unmatched flexibility for developers.

Velir's Drupal 10 module is a game-changer for web development, simplifying the creation of diverse and powerful search experiences while enhancing overall user engagement. To learn more about this module, please visit the site.
