Every modern framework nowadays provides a scaffolding tool code generator for speeding up the process of starting a new project and avoid early repetitive tasks.

The purpose of this project is to leverage the Symfony Console Component to provide a CLI tool to automate the creation of drupal 8 modules by generating the directory structure for a module, routing, controllers, forms, services, plugins and required configuration files.

It supports adding services using Dependency Injection on class generation.

What is out of the box?

• Generates module and info files.
• Generates PSR-4 compliant directory structure for a module.
• Register routes on YML files and map to PHP Classes (controller, form, service).
• Create classes adding namespaces, uses and also the extend and implements keywords when required.
• Support adding services using Dependency Injection on class generation.

During this session you will learn about the concepts and components introduced on Drupal 8 and by the end you will have the basic knowledge required for writing a Drupal 8 module.

Some topics that will be mentioned on this session

• HTTP Request/Response
• Composer
• Annotations
• Namespaces
• Services
• Service Container
• Dependency Injection
• Routing
• Controller

This session will include a demo of https://drupal.org/project/console (scaffolding module generator)

• Module Maintainers & Developers
  Create & Migrate contributed modules to Drupal 8.
• Drupal Trainers & Consultors
  Train developers on Drupal 8.
• Drupal Shops
  Reduce module development time for Drupal 8.
