Last week, at February's meetup of the Oxford Drupal Users Group, I presented a simple guide to writing your first Drupal 8 module. D8's APIs have mostly settled down now (at least, the fundamentals, and I have a hard time keeping up with the details!) so it's a good time to start looking at how you'd (re-)build functionality in the forthcoming full release.
My talk wasn't really original, but intended to provide a step-by-step walkthrough for:
- Converting 7.x modules to 8.x, immediately followed by
- Form API in Drupal 8, to show how easy it is to create forms.
With that in mind, here in reverse order are my steps: a series of commits walking through creating a D8 module, adding a page callback, and adding a form callback with validation and submit behaviours. If you've not played with D8 yet, you should definitely this for yourself! I've even just added a LICENSE.txt so you're not afraid to do so. Go!
