Extending Commerce: Drupal's architecture in action
FatherShawn
Drupal 8's object oriented architecture is so much more than programming methodology. These design patterns combine to produce a powerful and extensible system. Using these patterns Digital Pulp built a donation process on top of Commerce module as part of our multi-year partnership with Make-A-Wish® Foundation of America to move their web content from Sitecore to Drupal 8.
We will use that donation process to examine some of these design patterns including:
- Controllers
- Plugins
- Services
This session will examine how these design patterns become building blocks to create a custom donation process which is well on its way to becoming a contributed module. We will then pull back to see how they are assembled into a whole solution. We conclude with a discussion of how you can use similar customizations to meet your own objectives.
The slides from this session are built in html and available at talks.shawnduncan.org
