Does this replace Book module?

Created on 20 September 2024, about 2 months ago

Problem/Motivation

I have been looking into Book 2.x.

One of the ideas there is to expand past the current architecture and create a hierarchical page structure and navigation for all entities.

There are also patches being written to keep it working with the current setup.

I am wondering if the intent here is to standardize around entity_reference_hierarchy and provide a replacement for Book?

If this looks like the direction things are going in, I might drop my use of Book and start contributing here.

    Does this module replace the book module? Probably not for everyone, maybe for some. I haven't been following Book 2.x development, and don't intend this module to be a rewrite of the book module.

    This module came about because we need some of the Book module's functionality, but wanted a better UX and a more concise archtecture.

    This module will not replace book module feature for feature, and we're not planning on writing an upgrade path from Book to this module.
    This module provides a lightweight alternative to the Book module with different architecture and a smaller UX footprint (books in this module are just managed only on the main book node, and all the pages are just normal content.)

    It's was based around the Entity Reference Hierachy module because I liked the architecture, the UX/UI experience work well for book editing, and it works with the Migrate Default Content module.

    To clairify if someone did write a migration from book to this module, we would accept it.

    Great thank you. I'll explore Entity Reference Hierarchy some more and compare differences.
