Working with Layout Paragraphs: an Easy-to-Use, Drag-and-Drop Content Editing Tool for Drupal
summary
Layout Paragraphs is a Drupal contrib module that adds a WYSIWYG drag-and-drop editor on top of Paragraphs and core Layout API, used by over 4,500 sites, and exposes structured layout data via JSON:API output. The demo shows install steps, switching the paragraph field widget and formatter, creating a Section paragraph that stores layout IDs, two‑column/three‑column examples, keyboard and drag reordering, duplication and templates, permission hooks for component-level governance, and that it works for decoupled sites and real editorial workflows.
