Drupal Create a small Drupal 8.x module

Drupal Create a small Drupal 8.x module

STEP 1:Getting Started - Background & Prerequisites (Drupal 8)

1.Making a directory

First of all, I am going to update my local repository and then create a new directory. Then, I am going to move into the new directory that I have just created using cd command.

CODE:

             sudo apt-get update

             mkdir task6

             ls

             cd task6

NOTE:

I have used ls to show that I have created  a directory name task6.

2.Cloning and preparing a Module skeleton.


CODE:

           git clone --branch 8.x-1.x https://git.drupal.org/sandbox/sidharrell/2466449.git 

           hello_world_for_drupal_8

     cd hello_world_for_drupal_8

Preparing a Module skeleton.

CODE:


            git checkout skeleton

          

          

STEP 2:Naming and placing your Drupal 8 module.

1.Check for errors behind the scenes

CODE:

            tail -f /var/log/apache2/error.log

2.Change settings in your dev site

• I am going to add the following code below in my terminal.

         CODE:

                     error_reporting(E_ALL);

                     ini_set('display_errors', TRUE);

                     ini_set('display_startup_errors', TRUE);

Then, I am going to 127.0.0.1 and navigate to Administration→ Configuration→ Development → logging and errors. I need to select  "All messages". (This sets $conf['error_level'] = 2; .)

Then click save configuration
