Jest is the defacto standard for testing in modern JavaScript but we've traditionally not been able to leverage it for testing in Drupal.
But with twig-testing-library, we can now test our twig templates and any dynamic behaviours added by Javascript using Jest.
In this article we will go through the process of adding Jest based testing to an existing accordion component.
Drupal 8 comes with a Diff component in core. It's mainly used for showing changes to configuration or content revisions. However, it can be used in other ways too. Here are some quick steps to show how to use the Diff component in your custom forms or controllers.
For a recent project a client asked us to investigate an "instant search" feature, where as the user begins to type, suggestions for matching pages appear immediately. The following post introduces the Search API Lunr module and how it solved this problem for us.
Drupal 9 is just around the corner. Here's what you need to do to ensure a smooth upgrade.
PreviousNext builds open source digital platforms for large scale customers, primarily based on Drupal and hosted using Kubernetes, two of the world’s biggest open source projects. With our business reliant on the success of these open source projects, our company is committed to contributing where we can in relation to our relatively small size. We get a lot of questions about how we do this, so are happy to share our policies so that other organisations might adopt similar approaches.
PreviousNext continue to be major contributors to the development and promotion of Drupal 8. As participants of the Drupal 8.8.0 Beta Testing Program, we thought it would be useful to document the steps we took to update one of our sites on Drupal 8.7 to the latest 8.8.0 beta.
Every site is different, so your mileage may vary, but it may save you some time.
On a client project we were using a custom Drupal content entity to model some lightweight reusable content.
The content entity was originally single use and did not support bundles (e.g. node entities have node-type bundles).
As the project evolved, we needed to add bundle support for the custom entity-type, despite it already being in production use.
Read on to find out how we achieved this.
The 2019 Drupal South sprint is shaping up to be the biggest contribution event in the Australia-Pacific region since Drupalcon Sydney 2013.
This year, core-contributors with over 3000 commit credits between them will be in attendance, including 3 members of the core committers team, 3 members of the Drupal security team, 7 core module/subsystem maintainers as well as maintainers of major contrib modules and command-line tools.
With Drupal 9 just around the corner, this will be a great chance to help the community get popular modules ready for Drupal 9, meet some great people and help shape the future of Drupal.
The PreviousNext team are sponsoring and helping to run the sprint day on Wednesday, November 27th 2019, and there are a few things you can do now to hit the ground running on the day.
Drupal 8.8.0 will be released in December 2019 and the upcoming changes in JSON:API module codebase introduce huge performance benefits.
It's a Monday morning and you push your first bit of code for the week. Suddenly all your Javascript tests start failing with crazy errors you've never seen before! And it's not just happening on one project! This post will hopefully help you track down the fix to the Bad Message 400 errors plaguing WebDriver.
