Luma Fallback

Benefits of Luma Fallback

Using the Luma Fallback feature offers several advantages:

  • Quick Setup for Developers: Developers can continue using Luma templates and layouts where Hyvä compatibility is lacking.
  • Reduced Costs: It prevents the need to redesign and rebuild everything from scratch.
  • Customization-Friendly: Moreover, developers can implement changes without breaking core functionality.
  • Saves Time: As a result, development is faster, especially when working with complex third-party modules.
  • Smoother Transition: Luma Fallback ensures greater compatibility, leading to less downtime and reduced development overhead.

By leveraging the Luma Fallback feature, Hyvä users can enjoy the best of both worlds: high performance with Hyvä and reliable compatibility with Luma-based components. In other words, it’s a smart way to speed up your transition without sacrificing essential functionality.
