Overview of this book

Drupal is an open source content management system trusted by governments and organizations around the globe to run their websites. It brings with it extensive content authoring tools, reliable performance, and a proven track record of security. The community of more than 1,000,000 developers, designers, editors, and others have developed and maintained a wealth of modules, themes, and other add-ons to help you build a dynamic web experience. Drupal 8 is the latest release of the Drupal built on the Symfony2 framework. This is the largest change to the Drupal project in its history. The entire API of Drupal has been rebuilt using Symfony and everything from the administrative UI to themes to custom module development has been affected. This book will cover everything you need to plan and build a complete website using Drupal 8. It will provide a clear and concise walkthrough of the more than 200 new features and improvements introduced in Drupal core. In this book, you will learn advanced site building techniques, create and modify themes using Twig, create custom modules using the new Drupal API, explore the new REST and Multilingual functionality, import, and export Configuration, and learn how to migrate from earlier versions of Drupal.

Permissions


Adding permissions specific to your module has been moved from the Drupal 7 hook_permissions to a {module}.permissions.yml file. That file contains an element for each permission, along with the human-readable name and description. If we wanted to add a new permission for our module, we would create a mastering_drupal_8.permissions.yml file like:

access test content:
 title: Access test content
 restrict access: TRUE
 description: Whether a user can access test content 

You can also add an array for permission_callback array that contains a list of callables that return an array in the same format as the YAML file. For instance, in node.permissions.yml, there is:

permission_callbacks:
 - \Drupal\node\NodePermissions::nodeTypePermissions 

The function nodeTypePermissions on the NodePermissions class returns an array of permissions with the human-readable title keyed by the appropriate machine name.
