This is a sub-issue to 🌱 [META] Add editable responsive layouts to Drupal core Postponed

Problem/Motivation

Drupal core only supported static layouts so far, with defining characteristics of a fixed set of regions and a static markup structure with pre-baked CSS positioning. It is not possible to edit these layouts in a user friendly way, so with 🌱 [META] Add editable responsive layouts to Drupal core Postponed , we are proposing a set of modules to serve this need in Drupal core.

Proposed solution

This issue is about the dynamic region list handler, which is a very simple module that handles a list of machine name + label combinations with some pre-defined regions shipped with the module in configuration, all regions being editable and deletable. These regions are going to be used in the editable layouts later on in other modules.

Admittedly, this module has not much use without editable layouts given these regions are not expected to be used or useful outside of editable layouts.

The proposed module is named region with a configuration entity called Region and the respective form controllers and default configuration. Test coverage for creating regions, editing regions, deleting regions and doing these with built-in regions is included.

    Thank you for sharing your idea for improving Drupal.

    We are working to decide if this proposal meets the Criteria for evaluating proposed changes. There hasn't been any discussion here for over 8 years which suggests that this has either been implemented or there is no community support. Your thoughts on this will allow a decision to be made.

    Since we need more information to move forward with this issue, the status is now Postponed (maintainer needs more info). If we don't receive additional information to help with the issue, it may be closed after three months.

    Thanks!

    I'm going to say this is outdated with the XP being introduced soon :)
