patternkit 9.1.0-beta5

The Patternkit Beta 5 release focuses on module clean-up to improve maintainability, improvement to the editorial experience by speeding up pattern form load times, and improving the developer experience by providing tools and configuration options to ease developer workflows.

For content editors, complex patterns including many references sometimes take a long time to load the form while those references are loaded via AJAX. The Beta 5 release includes two new options to streamline this: behind the scenes, any locally hosted patterns are flattened into a single schema to remove the need for any AJAX requests at all, and a new option is available in settings to cache requested schemas client-side to speed up form loading for patterns with any references off-site. In testing with some particularly nested patterns, load times for the form showed a decrease as much as 97% over loading the same pattern form with the Patternkit Beta 4 release.

For developers, the Beta 5 release includes a host of new Drush commands are available for inspection into patterns the system knows about. There are also now options available for disabling and bypassing caching mechanisms used in Patternkit to speed up local development workflows. Finally, there are a collection of new services available to support these new features and introducing new ways to load and use patterns.
