Drupal 8 Custom Module Architecture: What’s Going On?

Lindsay Gaudinier

It is all fun and games modifying existing code, but what about when you have to venture out to unknown waters and create your own custom module? Don’t worry! We can get through this together!

This talk is a deep dive into creating custom modules from scratch, and the role of each component in the final product.

Let’s consider when it is appropriate to leverage custom development, explore the anatomy of a custom module, the types of expected files in a custom module, and the wonderful world of what you can do with a custom module (spoiler - it is a lot!).

This talk will include: Composer, forms, theming within a module, custom pages, Drupal namespacing, object oriented conventions, plugins, controllers, routes and more!

This is amazing. You covered so much content so quickly! Great for Youtube, we can just pause and rewind as needed. Thank you for posting, it is helping me wrap my head around this crazy platform. I hate it a tiny bit less now :)

Nice presentation covering most the bones of a d8 module. Would like to see a part II continuation covering custom entities and maybe diving a little deeper into services / dependency injection.

@Lindsay, thanks for this presentation. Nice and clear and to the point. Is there a way to download the slides? I can see the slides online via the link you posted but it occurs to me that the slide deck would be very useful to have offline as it works as a very good cheat sheet. Maybe the is a pdf version somewhere.
