What is the status of porting this module to Drupal 8?

What about joining efforts with auto_nodetitle? I have made a working port of auto_nodetitle [1] and I'd love to see it being used. Both module can be joined (again) into one, I've prepared the D8 code for use with all entities.

@Sutharsan, Thanks for your work on auto_nodetitle. If the D8 version is based on entities, i think it would make sense to collaborate.

The module in the current state is able to save configuration per bundle per entity. There is some work in progress on getting the placeholder replacement working. Will look at the github repo & see what we can take in.

I'm very interested to see a D8 version of AEL. Please let us know if there's something we can do.

Since this module does not seem to progress as intended, I can fully recommend the module of Sutharsan, which seems to do the trick ATM.

Thank you Sutharsan :)

Checking the status. I am building out my new D8 frameworks and would like to include AEL in the project.
Is there a timeline for a production version of a D8 Module?

Thanks!

I'm currently working on a project that could use this in production as well. I'm testing @Sutharsan fork of the repo and a couple others at the moment. There is also https://github.com/bramg/auto_nodetitle/tree/8.x-1.x which appears to be working fine for me at the moment.

I'd rather this at the moment than create custom content entities, which is the other direction I am leaning.

Edit: Tested https://github.com/bramg/auto_nodetitle/tree/8.x-1.x It's working well enough. What's keeping this from moving forward?

I've made some progress on the D8 port. I've got it working for nodes, taxonomy and other config entities. There's still work to do, but please try the patch here: #2755445: Auto Entity label does not set entity labels and breaks contrib modules

Will there be support with this module for custom entities and for entities like Drupal Commerce 2.x "product" entities, so that the title/label on a Commerce 2.x product entity can be hidden or generated by token(s)?

Since the module has been ported to D8 long time ago and none of the child issues are open, I think it makes most sense to close the issue. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
