Embark on a journey of Drupal module development with the latest edition of this must-have guide written by Daniel Sipos – a Drupal community member! This fourth edition is meticulously revised to cover the latest Drupal 10 enhancements that will help you build custom Drupal modules with an understanding of code deprecations, changing architecture, data modeling, multilingual ecosystem, and so on. You’ll begin with understanding the core components of Drupal 10 architecture, discovering its subsystems and unlocking the secrets of creating your first Drupal module. Further, you'll delve into Drupal logging and mailing systems, creating theme hooks, and rendering a layout. As you progress, you'll work with different types of data storage, custom entities, field types, and work with Database APIs for lower-level database queries. You'll learn to reap the power of JavaScript and ensure that your code works seamlessly on multilingual sites.

PHPUnit

Drupal uses PHPUnit as the testing framework for all types of tests. In this section, we will see how we can work with it to run tests.

Important note:

In your development environment (or wherever you want to run the tests), make sure you have the composer dependencies installed with the --dev flag. This will include PHPUnit. Remember not to do this in your production environment as you can compromise the security of your application.

To run PHPUnit tests, we use the command line, and it’s very easy to do so. To run an entire test suite (of a certain type), we must navigate to the Drupal core folder (this works in a normal Drupal site installation where the vendor folder is located there):

cd core

And run the following command:

../vendor/bin/phpunit --testsuite=unit
