Drupal 8 ... Bring it on !!

Back after a loooonnggg gap so, need a bang to get started again, isn't it ?

Well, I have something in store :)

Yet not very comfy with Drupal 7 but does that allow me to keep my friend, Drupal 8 waiting at the

door ? Will he really wait for me to be done with Drupal 7 ? Nooo way, he is running in his own

pace ... so what are we waiting for friends, need to catch up. So, from here on let's dive into the

ocean of Drupal 8.

It's about a month or even more, just thinking that it's high time I introduce myself with Drupal 8 or

say the other way round ;) Friends, I know most of us might be thinking not to skip steps while

climbing up but at times even three dots are enough to define an area, so why not let's get

started. We may get stuck, not an issue, will keep adding dots so as to get closer to our perfect

structure.

Let's begin with the Getting Started guide of drupal.org. Will be back soon with my way of moving

ahead with Drupal 8.

Till then keep connecting your dots. Happy learning :)

In simple words, 404 is that our server is not able to find what we have requested, so it says “Sorry buddy, I give up." in the form of page-not-found messages. Keeping in mind this inevitability of these 404s, you can wonder what problems it can pose to our site and what these 404 errors can cost us. Imagine a website, trying to fetch dynamic resources for each of it's page request, some of which may result in a 404. Such requests, resulting in a 404 on a heavy traffic site can eventually add up to be actually troublesome. Hold on ... there is more to it. Let's see what happens when Drupal comes into picture. Even while serving a 404 page in Drupal, it does the full "bootstrap", l

Request to Response in Drupal 8

Here ? So, I am assuming we have some idea of Symfony2 and it's components used in Drupal 8 by now. Great, let's move ahead. Every web interaction as we know starts with a request and ends with a response, same goes here with Drupal 8. We send a request and receive some response from Drupal but what goes internally ? Let's dive in and find out. Of all the important components of Symfony2 being used in Drupal 8, HTTPKernel and HTTPFoundation plays an important role in handling a page request but this time the proces uses an object oriented way. Ohh.. big names :) Let's know something more about these. HTTPKernel : This component consists of an HTTPKernelInterface which provides a method, handle(). This method accepts $request object as parameter and returns $response object. HTTPFoundation : This component is responsible for creating and managing the $request and $response objects. We can say that, it's an object oriented replacement of sup
