Drupal8 for Symfony developers - Dutch PHP
The document is a presentation by Antonio Perić-Mážar aimed at Symfony developers interested in transitioning to Drupal 8. It outlines the integration of Symfony components in Drupal 8, different forms of knowledge required to work with it, tools for development, installation methods using Composer, and steps to register event subscribers and build custom modules. Additionally, it highlights the modern architecture of Drupal 8, emphasizing object-oriented programming and the evolution from hooks to event-driven approaches.

- 44. @antonioperic Lets use composer •drupal/drupal. • This uses Drupal itself as a template for the new site. It is the simplest solution but lacks additional configuration that can be helpful. • drupal-composer/drupal-project. • This open source project acts as a kickstarter for Composer-based Drupal sites. It provides default configuration that otherwise needs to be added manually.

- 87. @antonioperic What happens whenrequest enters Drupal 1. Bootstrap configuration: ◦Read the settings.php file, generate some other settings dynamically, and store them both in global variables and the DrupalComponentUtilitySettings singleton object. ◦Start the class loader, that takes care of loading classes. ◦Set the Drupal error handler. ◦Detect if Drupal is actually installed. If it is not, redirect to the installer script. 2. Create the Drupal kernel. 3. Initialize the service container (either from cache or from rebuild). 4. Add the container to the Drupal static class. 5. Attempt to serve page from static page cache (just like Drupal 7). 6. Load all variables (variable_get).
- 88. @antonioperic What happens whenrequest enters Drupal 7. Load other necessary (procedural) include files. 8. Register stream wrappers (public://, private://, temp:// and custom wrappers). 9. Create the HTTP Request object (using the Symfony HttpFoundation component). 10. Let the DrupalKernel handle it and return a response. 11. Send the response. 12. Terminate the request (modules can act upon this event).

- 91. @antonioperic Pipeline 1. After thecontroller returned a render array, the VIEW will be triggered by the HttpKernel, because the controller result is not a Response, but a render array. 2. MainContentViewSubscriber is subscribed to the VIEW event. It checks whether the controller result is an array, and if so, it guarantees to generate a Response. 3. Next, MainContentViewSubscriber checks whether the negotiated request format is supported: 1. Any format for which a main content renderer service exists (an implementation of MainContentRendererInterface is supported. 2. If the negotiated request format is not supported, a 406 JSON response is generated, which lists the supported formats in a machine-readable way (as per RFC 2616, section 10.4.7). 4. Otherwise, when the negotiated request format is supported, the corresponding main content renderer service is initialized. A response is generated by calling MainContentRendererInterface::renderResponse() on the service. That's it
- 92. @antonioperic Main Content Renderes •HTML: HtmlRenderer (text/html) • AJAX: AjaxRenderer (application/vnd.drupal-ajax) • Dialog: DialogRenderer (application/vnd.drupal-dialog) • Modal: ModalRenderer (application/vnd.drupal-modal

- 102. @antonioperic Available “defaults” keys •_controller The specified method is simply called with the specified route parameters, and is expected to return a response. • _content If specified, the _controller is set based on the request's mime type, and fills the content of the response with the result of the specified method (usually a string or render array). • _form If specified, the _controller is set to HtmlFormController::content, which responds with the specified form. This form must be a fully qualified class name (or service id) that implements FormInterface and usually extends FormBase. Indeed, form building has also become object oriented! • _entity_form If specified, the _controller is set to HtmlEntityFormController::content, which responds with the specified entity form (specified as {entity_type}.{add|edit|delete}).
- 103. @antonioperic Available “requirements” keys •_permission The current user must have the specified permission. • _role The current user must have the specified role. • _method The allowed HTTP methods (GET, POST, etc). • _scheme Set to https or http. The request scheme must be the same as the specified scheme. This property is also taken into account when generating urls (Drupal::url(..)) rather than routing. If set, urls will have this scheme set fixed. • _node_add_access A custom access check for adding new nodes of some node type. • _entity_access A generic access checker for entities. • _format Mime type formats

- 116. @antonioperic Registering event subscribers Hereare the steps to register an event subscriber: • Define a service in your module, tagged with 'event_subscriber' (see the Services topic for instructions). • Define a class for your subscriber service that implements SymfonyComponentEventDispatcherEventSubscriberInterface • In your class, the getSubscribedEvents method returns a list of the events this class is subscribed to, and which methods on the class should be called for each one. Example:

- 151. @antonioperic Recap • Symfony componentsare main building tool for D8 • DIC is backbone of Drupal • DI for controllers is very easy • Events are replacing hooks • Building custom module is easy • Hardest thing is to start • This is just beginning there is a lot to learn about and from D8 • Documentation is not the best, read examples and code
