Overview & Support

What is Radix theme, the tooling and support.

Before you start with Radix, a disclaimer: Radix is not for the faint of heart, it is an advanced complex, try-to-be cutting-edge Drupal theme. The idea is to make sure that Drupal theming mimics nowadays advanced Javascript ecosystem theming as much as possible, so we have a lot of bells and whistles when it comes to theming a Drupal website.

Radix Theme

Radix started to shift towards component-driven theming with its Drupal 7 theme when things weren't that easy! Now with Single directory components in the core, a lot has changed.

Radix is the original component-based theme for Drupal. It comes with Bootstrap 5, Sass, BrowserSync, BiomeJS, Laravel Mix built-in.

Radix is a heavily opinionated theme, so you might not agree, if you feel like arguing about anything, please create an issue on drupal.org so we can talk it over. but over the years many other themes and projects started as a fork of Radix, so we've been doing something right probably.

With Radix 6.x and Drupal ^10.1, we now support the core SDC and don't require the great components module anymore.

We are also using the new Drupal core's starterkit process to create our subthemes, even though it wasn't necessary, it sounds cool on the README, so why not? but that's under the hood stuff.

Note that Radix itself is just a parent theme and not supposed to be used as the main theme for any website, make sure to always create a subtheme first and then go from there.
