This year DrupalGov is virtual. The PreviousNext team is sponsoring and helping to run the DrupalGov 2020 Sprint Day on Wednesday 4 November, and there are a few things you can do now to hit the ground running on the day.
Have you ever happily pushed your latest piece of work ready for others to test only to have it fail the build on coding standards? If so, git pre commit hooks could be your friend!
On the surface, it may seem like code that uses Guzzle to make HTTP requests will be difficult, however thanks to Guzzle's handler and middleware APIs and Drupal's KernelTestBase, it's not that painful at all.
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.
