Wanting to follow up on our work at MidCamp 2023 with the Development Settings form, Mike Herchel wanted to jam on another issue to improve the life of frontend developers.
Previously, I wrote about leveraging Dependabot to automate dependency updates for my Drupal projects. Automating dependency updates saves a lot of time.
This year, I have the honor of being one of the featured speakers at Florida DrupalCamp (February 23 to 25, 2024.) I will be speaking about the opportunity of open source.
I use GitHub to host my repositories, such as this website. To keep my dependencies up-to-date, I leverage Dependabot. The product has matured a lot over the past few years.
It's the end of 2023! The end of the year is a special time. We can look at the calendar and say, "I can't believe the year is already over," and "This has only been one year?" I always do an end-of-year review of my notebooks to remind myself of the year's events, successes, or failures to grow from next year. A lot happened this year. Here are a few things I wanted to share.
I'm excited to announce a new feature coming to phpstan-drupal that already exists for PHPStan. PHPStan has an online playground to run and test analysis results. Soon, we will have one for phpstan-drupal!
The Drupal Association has been working on a monumental effort to migrate away from our bespoke DrupalCI continuous integration system to GitLab CI as part of the GitLab Acceleration Initiative.
Last week, there was a trending hot take on social media: why bother with HTTP methods beyond GET and POST in your API? The argument was that URLs are cheap, so why not create more API URLs rather than using the same URL with different HTTP methods? It was a very interesting thought process around API design because it is the opposite of my thinking.
Retrofit for Drupal now has documentation to explain what Drupal 7 hooks and APIs are supported. Retrofit for Drupal provides backward compatibility layers to run legacy Drupal 7 code in your sites using Drupal 10 and beyond.
One of the major problems observed in getting contributed modules Drupal 10 compatible was maintaining support for Drupal 9.5, which remains in security support (or remained if it is now past November 1, 2023.) Contributed modules should be compatible with all security-supported versions of Drupal core or more if they so choose.
