Drupal 9 Modules
Modules are certain add-ons that you can use within your website to extend the functionality of Drupal. Lightning is the base distribution for Drupal 9 (instead of Panopoly in Drupal 7; see Drupal 7 modules for more information). Many of the form field modules from Drupal 7 are now a part of Drupal 9 Core as a part of the Lightning distribution. Please note, additionally, that this list does not include any modules that are a part of Drupal 9 core.
Drupal 7 Modules now a part of Drupal 9 Core
Allows a subtheme to declare mobile responsiveness breakpoints in a themename.breakpoints.yml file which can be used in the theme or other modules (for example, the responsive images module) to alter Drupal’s output at different widths.
Allows site owner to change the color of specific elements via the UI; allows themers to create new elements that are colorable via the color module
Provides a very simple caption input filter that can be used to attach captions to an image or embeddable object.
Provides an email field.
Media Suite (some disabled, all available)
Provides an extensible framework for managing files and multimedia assets, regardless of whether they are hosted on your own site or a 3rd party site. It is commonly referred to as a 'file browser to the internet'.
Image handling is also done through this module instead of the older Image module. Drupal 9 has built in responsive image handling.
Mobile Friendly Navigation Toolbar
A very simple, mobile-friendly navigation toolbar introduced as part of the Spark project
Views Suite (some are disabled, all are available)
Views can be best summed up as a UI based method of finding and displaying particular pieces of content.
Provides for workflow control; the default configuration is to provide contributors the ability to create new content drafts and create draft edits of existing content. At this point, an editor or senior editor can make further changes or publish the content as is. However, Workbench can do much more. In Drupal 9, some parts of the suite are disabled but available. Please see the project page for more information.
Allows for easy integration of other client side editors in Drupal text fields.
