Drupal 8 Module Development
summary
Covers step‑by‑step how to build a Drupal 8 module: create an .info.yml and place code under SRC/Plugin/Block with one class per file, use namespaces and extend BlockBase to render markup, implement ConfigFormBase to build, validate and submit a settings form that saves to config, and declare routes in YAML with controllers returning responses. Emphasizes composer required for vendor components, type hints and visibility rules, and shows the custom block and form working end‑to‑end.
