Description

[Please read the table of contents first! Also the prerequisites are important]

This is 2h 30min video course is chapter 3 of the "Learning Drupal 9 as a framework", the best-selling Drupal book on Leanpub.

Join me in an interesting journey of learning the Object-oriented architecture behind entities in Drupal. In this hands-on course, a part of an offer software where users are able to create offers will be created.

PDF with text and code available per chapter. Please read the table of contents carefully to know what to expect!
This is the ideal introduction for custom module development with Drupal.
We'll start by creating a custom entity from scratch. Custom-tailored access handling is one of the a-ha moments you will have in this course. Remember the difficulties with separating access between node types, right?
We'll make the entity fieldable, and add a media library where users can upload images.
Next, we'll head on towards creating a multi-step entity form. So much more user-friendly than the one-page node creation form you know. I promise you will uninstall the node module on some drupal websites sooner or later after taking this course.

Impress your coworkers with Drupal skills that are rather new but extremely powerful.
