You've built sites with Drupal and know it is a powerful and modular system and that much of Drupal’s power is in its modules, dynamos of drop-in functionality that build on Drupal’s base system and on one another to do wonderful things.
What do you do when there isn't "a module for that", though? You can write a module yourself.
You've built sites with Drupal 8 and know that with a few dozen modules (and a ton of configuring), you can do nearly everything in modern Drupal.
But what do you do when there's not a module for that? Or the ones that exist don't quite meet your needs?
You make your own.
This session will help you take that step. All you need to do is write two text files. The first file tells Drupal about the module; it’s not code. The second file can have as little as three lines of code in it. Making a module is something that anyone can do. There are many (mostly simple) rules to follow and tons of tools to use—and lots of exploration to do. Every person developing a module is still learning.
Learning Objectives:
In this hands-on session, you will:
Learn how to decide when to make your own module.
Write a module that plays well with Drupal core and other modules.
Discover ways to explore the options for extending and overriding functionality provided by Drupal core and other modules.
