Drupal 8 Plugins

This unorthodox decision was made to support substantial improvements in Drupal’s major version upgrade process

Since we’ve been away from our composer project for a while, let’s start by updating it and getting the newest available code.

We will generate a block that will allow us to display a welcome text and the name of the user logged in. Execute the following command

Without the ability to Google my Drupal 8 questions, I had to figure out things by intuition, and by analogy with other components

In Drupal 7, definition and altering of blocks are done through block specific mechanisms. A block was defined by implementing providing the available deltas and the corresponding administrative labels

This means that if you have a 5-year-old Drupal 6 site, you will find major value in upgrading directly to Drupal 8. Many other benefits can justify the cost, including an easier to administer, responsive site.

So to recap, each broker has its own feed which can be filtered to return a list of web component urls. Those components could be injected into blocks through iframes for example.
