![]() ![]() Now you should see a list of all of the files that have been created as a result of answering the questions above, your list may look very similar to the below list of files. Do you want this (content) entity to have forms? (yes/no) :ĭo you want this (content) entity to have an owner? (yes/no) :ĭo you want this entity to have "per bundle" permissions? (yes/no) : ![]() Is your entity revisionable? (yes/no) :įor the next three questions, I would just go for the default answer of yes, as for most cases, it would be the most logical plan to have these options enabled, the per bundle permissions is useful if you want to have more granular permissions, but this does depend on your individual requirements of course. The answers to these two questions depends on you requirements for the website/ entity. Plus you also need to decide if the content should be revisionable, so that you have the ability to revert content back to earlier version if the need arises. Now you need to decide if your custom entity should be setup so that the content can be translatable for multilingual websites. Do you want this (content) entity to have bundles? (yes/no) : Also by using bundles, you can try and keep the logic and interfaces contained and hopefully not too confusing. A core example of this would Node content types or Taxonomy Vocabularies. Now you need to decide if you want your custom entity to have bundle support, bundles allow you to create multiple types of the same entity within the Drupal UI, instead of having to create a custom entity each time. Enter the base-path for the content entity routes : You should then decide where you want the menu links to live, so that you can access the settings and content listing pages for the custom entity, although for the latter, you can also use the core views module to make pages that meet your sites needs. Enter the class of your new content entity :Įnter the machine name of your new content entity :Įnter the label of your new content entity : Now you need to specify the name for your custom entity, you can either enter your own on go for the defaults suggested. Welcome to the Drupal Content Entity generator The command I ran was: drupal generate:entity:contentįirst of all you need to specify the name of the custom module that you created earlier. Now we have a module skeleton, we can generate our entity, just like generating the module skeleton, we can use Drupal console to do much of the heavy lifting for us. info.yml looks like: name: 'custom content entity' info.yml generated by Drupal console to ensure the module is Drupal 9 compatible. One thing to note is I need to manually update the. So now we should have a custom module containing our info.yml and. Would you like to add module dependencies? (yes/no) :ĭo you want to generate a unit test class? (yes/no) :ĭo you want to generate a themeable template? (yes/no) :ĭo you want proceed with the operation?

(yes/no) :ĭo you want to add a composer.json file to your module? (yes/no) : Welcome to the Drupal module generatorĮnter the module machine name :Įnter module description :ĭo you want to generate a. You should then be asked as a series of questions, below are a note of the questions and my responses. I have touched on some of the questions in previous blog posts, for the purposes of what we need for this blog post, some of the questions that default too yes, I have changed to no, as it is just unnecessary noise that I don't need for this blog post. First of all we need to have a custom module that we can use to store our code for our custom entity, for this we can use the Drupal console command: drupal generate:module ![]()
