A developer's overview of Drupal 8's top contributed modules – DrupalCamp Spain 2016 – 1 Metatag (Rodrigo)

1 Metatag (Rodrigo)

• UI to manage defaults per entity type and bundle.
• Can override tags per entity instance, but there is a trick.
• Tags are plugins. Yay!

2 Pathauto (Paco)

• Flexible UI to add patterns for entities.
• Very close to reach to a stable release.

Hey Juampy: create an issue for that bug.

3 Token (Samuel)

• Main tokens are available: global tokens, field tokens.
• Token browser works as in Drupal 7.
• Pending: chained tokens ([node:field_sample_entity_reference:title].
• Pending: further multilingual support.
• Pending: automatic support for field properties ([test_field:format]).

4 Field Collection (Kiko)

• 8.x-1.x has an alpha release. Works but ugly code.
• 8.x-2.x looks promising. Uses Inline Entity Form.

5 Diff (Nesta & Karmen)

• Same UI as in Drupal 7.
• Plugin per field type to make comparisons.
• Long term plan is to turn the revisions list into a View.

6 Workbench Moderation (Antonio)

• Slightly different UI for moderating.
• Works on all revisionable entities (nodes, blocks, etc).
• Great module to look upon for best practices.

7 Redirect (Jansete)

• Similar UI than in Drupal 7.
• Just got moved to Drupal.org (was on GitHub).

8 Page Manager (Josef)

• Serves as a home for Panels variants.
• Leverage's CTools Wizard API.
• Uses Condition API, Context API, and Tempstore API, among others.

9 Panels (David)

• Defines a panel variant for Page Manager.
• Work in progress: it's UI works but it still needs a lot of love.
