Happier Lager

A fork of Happy Lager, the official Pixel and Tonic Craft Demo site, modified to follow a modular template architecture.

The modified templates follow the same Router-View-Component-Layout architecture as presented in the talk “Architecting a Content Website” at Dot All Conf 2018. You can watch the talk video, or browse through the slides for further information.

The website features and behaviour is pretty much identical to the orginal demo site, and minimum code changes have been made to reflect the spirit of Router-View-Component-Layout architecture. Only template paths have been modified in the database.

Please report any glaring issues, or suggestions.

Brought to you by Miranj.
