📄️ Caching in drupal

It is important to remember that, there are many, many, levels of caching on a modern drupal site. Specifics will depend on what server/environment sites are on, as well, as the content within.

It is important to remember that, in D8, all configuration, once imported, is owned by the DB/site. The configuration system is simply a way to set or update configuration on a site. By default, the config management of D8 assumes that it is managing config per instances of the "same site", ie dev/stg/prod. If you are doing things other than that, you will need to make some changes, as well as be wary of things like UUID's.

📄️ Entity queries in drupal

Sometimes, rather than use view modes, it is desireable to load local content into a variable, for further data manipulation, or to simply get better markup, for a quick for loop in twig. This is easily accomplished via entity queries.

📄️ Feeds module

Feeds is a good way to import content into sites that are either already built, or where migrated content types require quite a bit of changes, or the site being "migrated from" is not a previous version of drupal, where something like the Migrate API may make more sense.

📄️ Hybrid Content Types

Often times, we get asked to create Hybrid content types in drupal. Essentially, a hybrid content type is a content type that:

Running functions after ajax

📄️ Drupal 7

All D7 work is limited to maintenance on existing sites. Since the existing repositories vary far and wide as to how and where they are set up, its best to consult the documentation on each specific project.

📄️ Drupal Performance

Web applications are a combination of server-side and client-side code. To improve the web performance, both the sides need to be optimized.

📄️ Custom REST endpoints

While stock REST endpoints in drupal can (and should) be used in most scenarios, sometimes we need to get tricky.

📄️ Drupal 8 Services

One of the concepts introduced in Drupal 8 is Services. "As a developer, services are used to perform operations like accessing the database, accessing an external API, or sending an e-mail." Drupal Documentation Drupal core provides numerous services for use by developers. For example, Drupal core includes an http client that can be used in modules and injected into services, plugins, or controllers.

📄️ Simple (per page) password protection in drupal

Often, we get requests for simple passwords per node, to limit access. As of the time of writing, no simple solution existed, to allow passwords on a per-node basis. This is a per entity feature, at it's simplest form. This could be adapted to multiple entities/etc however, and also set things like cookies/etc in the future, if needed.

📄️ Simplesamlphp (per page) password protection in drupal

Requires saml auth in order to view a page. This assumes you are already using simplesamlphp for authentication, via the drupal module. Similar approaches could be used for different SSO solutions. The main idea is to add a boolean field to a single content type, to require login in order to view the content or not.
