Overview

Paragraphs is the new way of content creation!


It allows you — Site Builders — to make things cleaner so that you can give more editing
power to your end-users.

Instead of putting all their content in one WYSIWYG body field including images and videos,
end-users can now choose on-the-fly between pre-defined Paragraph Types independent
from one another. Paragraph Types can be anything you want from a simple text block or
image to a complex and configurable slideshow.

Paragraphs module comes with a new "paragraphs" field type that works like Entity
Reference's. Simply add a new paragraphs field on any Content Type you want and choose
which Paragraph Types should be available to end-users. They can then add as many
Paragraph items as you allowed them to and reorder them at will.

Paragraphs module does not come with any default Paragraph Types but since they are
basic Drupal Entities you can have complete control over what fields they should be
composed of and what they should look like through the typical Drupal Manage Fields and
Manage Display screens.

You can also add custom option fields and do conditional coding in your CSS, JS and
preprocess functions so that end-users can have more control over the look and feel of each
item. This is way much cleaner and stable than adding inline CSS or classes inside the body
field's source.

So... what's it gonna be? Accordions, Tabs, Slideshows, Masonry galleries, Parallax
backgrounds...? Think big!

Some more examples:

 Add a block of text with an image left to it


 Add a slideshow between blocks of text
 Add a youtube embed between your text
 Add quotes between your content blocks
