The State of Fluid: What's New and What's Next

Fluid is at the heart of nearly every TYPO3 project, but its development often flies under the radar. While last year's release of Fluid 4 didn’t introduce flashy new features, it brought important internal changes that pave the way for future improvements.

In this talk, I’ll walk through what’s changed in Fluid recently, why those changes matter, and what they enable going forward. Whether you're a frontend developer already familiar with TYPO3 or a seasoned integrator, this session will give you a clear view of where things stand — and where they’re heading.

I will cover:

• The new ViewFactory introduced in TYPO3 13
• Enhancements and additions to ViewHelpers
• Subtle but helpful syntax improvements
• Recent improvements to the documentation

And most importantly, we’ll take a peek at Fluid’s new capabilities for component-based frontend development.
