Check your coding style on Drupal 8

Coding style?

Building software is a complex and sometimes tedious process in which you make errors and mistakes. Testing for errors is mostly done by running your website / code through tests either manually or automatically.

Checking for your code style like formatting and documentation flaws you can use a code sniffer. For PHP you can run phpcs using PHP_CodeSniffer.

Drupal core provides core/phpcs.xml.dist to tell phpcs what to test for.

Delete and edit comments on closed node

clemens — Tue, 17 Feb 2015 15:29:36 +0000

Having a forum you needs quick deletions of improper comments.

In Drupal 7 and Drupal 8 you have to visit admin/content/comments to do so. But then you loose the thread.

You could review and use this patch or add this to your custom module. The first needs review and testing. The later needs a Drupal coder.

The state of ReST in Headless Drupal 8

martijn — Thu, 09 Oct 2014 08:37:09 +0000

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.

Extending a Widget for numeric fields.

clemens — Fri, 05 Sep 2014 13:36:02 +0000

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.

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.

At your Service Container

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?
