In this post, we will show the pain points of running Xdebug in a Docker local development environment and how we overcame them.

When you are working with a team of developers on a medium to large sized project, managing the changes between a number of git branches can become a complex task. Sometimes you don't want to merge a whole branch into another, and only need to pick one or two specific commits. This process is called 'cherry picking'.

We're starting up our Lightning talks again during our weekly developer meetings here at PreviousNext. This week was about wiring up a straight forward plugin.js and extending CKEditorPluginBase to create a custom CKEditor widget in Drupal 8.

Watch the video for a run through of how this is done in Drupal 8.

Browsing through the interweb I happened across this bold statement a few weeks ago. A statement so bold, it inspired me to write a blog post in response.

This week whilst trying to update one of our projects to the latest version of Drupal 8 core, we had some issues.

For a long time I’ve been compiling my Sass into a single CSS file - styles.css, but recently, with our component based design/frontend process and Drupal 8’s lovely Library system I’ve been wondering if the single file was still a good idea. Looking at the amount of unused CSS loading into any given page was a little bit painful.

Just a quick post to share a simple way to assert some markup is ordered correctly using BrowserTestBase

A common problem that I’ve faced, particularly in the last few years, is how to deliver the complex, component driven design that clients want while also giving content authors full flexibility with those components without creating an un-maintainable, or brittle product.
