If you’ve done any web development in the last couple of years, then I’m sure you noticed that JavaScript libraries and frameworks have become popular.

Code generators in Drupal are great as a productivity tool. If you need to create a module, you could easily run a few commands and have a module generated.

Webform has a pretty robust system for managing lists of options. When you create a select box, you can define its options just for that element, or use a predefined list.

The Layout Builder module allows you to customize the design of the entity such as content types, vocabularies, etc… by offering a new drag-and-drop interface.
