Every Drupal module needs a *.info.yml file; the basic structure of a form controller class and related routing is the same for every form; and much of the code required to create a custom content entity type is boilerplate annotations and extending base classes. Wouldn't it be nice if there was a way to automate some of that repetitive work? Drush can be used to speed up module development by generating scaffolding code for event subscribers, forms, services, module files, routing, and much more. These generators are provided by the Drupal Code Generator project. They're neatly bundled up in Drush under the drush generate command.

Before Drush 9, there were no code generators in Drush, but the Drupal Console project provided them. That project and its code generators, have languished since the release of Drupal 9. While it can still be used, and is often referenced in tutorials about Drupal, we much prefer the code generated by Drush at this point.

In this tutorial we'll:

• Learn about the Drupal Code Generator project
• Learn how Drush integrates with this project
• Demonstrate the drush generate command and its options

By the end of this tutorial, you'll know how to use the drush generate command to speed up development for your Drupal modules.

A multisite Drupal installation allows you to host multiple, separate websites while relying on the same set of code. Large organizations often rely on a multisite installation to cut down on the operational upkeep of multiple sites. Hosting a multisite in Docker poses several additional challenges. Fortunately, the process is not dissimilar from configuring a bare-metal server to run a multisite.

In this tutorial, we'll:

• Outline a multisite's additional requirements for Docker containers.
• Configure alternate, local domain names to resolve each site.
• Learn how to configure a multisite to use alternate domain names.

This tutorial teaches you everything you need to know about using the tutorials on Drupalize.Me.

Drush is the command line shell and Unix scripting interface for Drupal. The most common way to install Drush is to install it on a per-project basis using Composer. We'll walk through the steps to do that, as well as how to set up the Drush Launcher tool (to make it possible to execute Drush commands without having to specify a full path to the executable).

In this tutorial we'll:

• Install Drush
• Verify it worked

By the end of this tutorial you'll have Drush installed.

Standardized documentation is crucial to a project, whether it is just you or an entire team working on it. In this tutorial we're going to look at:

• Standards for @docblock comments
• Standards for inline comments
• Why standards for documentation and comments are as important as standards for the rest of your code.

By the end of this tutorial you'll know how to add inline documentation for all the PHP code that you write for Drupal.

Formatting standards cover things like the use of whitespace, how to format control structures, and other aspects that affect your code's appearance and format.

In this tutorial we’ll talk specifically about standards regarding formatting. This is by no means an exhaustive list of PHP syntax rules, but rather is focused on formatting standards for Drupal.

By the end of this tutorial you'll know about the most common Drupal code formatting standards as well as where to find more information when questions arise.
