The state of ReST in Headless Drupal 8

Submitted by martijn on Thu, 2014/10/09 - 10:37am

One of the Drupal 8 initiatives was to make "headless" Drupal core work out of the box. Drupal now has a ReST API.

This allows you to use all the Drupal 8 features to edit your content but present the content not only on a Drupal frontend but also on mobile apps or anything else that can work with JSON data.

Using dreditor to triage issues

Submitted by clemens on Wed, 2014/10/01 - 8:30am

For the mentoring sprint on friday @ https://amsterdam2014.drupal.org we'd like to use the dreditor tool plus one of its new pull request feature. To install this just visit https://dreditor.org/development/build and pick your browser icon from #93 Add support for stock responses (macro/templates). When it states 'Rebase needed' just ping ClemensTolboom @ irc as dreditor is still evolving.

Extending a Widget for numeric fields.

Submitted by clemens on Fri, 2014/09/05 - 3:36pm

Looking for a HTML range field in Drupal 8 core I did not found one. First I tried to alter Number Widget but that was wrong. Just extend a suitable widget. The code is very short. But the display is not as good as one needs. Where is the min and max value? And the current value? The specs @ w3c html5 forms input range has some user agent rendering which does not give min, max or current value hints.

number field.

Beheaded on behat

Submitted by clemens on Tue, 2014/07/01 - 2:50pm

As my behavior is not driven by skills I jump into Behat or Behavior Driven Development or BDD for short to BDD Drupal 8. Installing Behat is a no brainer as written down on http://behat.org/ home page. But what if one needs extensions. That is a little asking for trouble as both Behat 2 and Behat 3 exists.

yUML as a service

Submitted by clemens on Tue, 2014/02/18 - 5:37pm

With the online service http://yuml.me one can draw some UML Diagrams. Wouldn't it be great to build that into Drupal? Checkout the new yUML module.

As we all know Drupal 8 has lots of new stuff. One of these items is based on Dependency Injection and result in a new file stored at sites/defaults/files/php/service_container/service_container_prod.php/e7000f005xxx.php and created very early during the bootstrap of Drupal. But what is it's contents?
