Port Computed Field to Drupal 8

dealancer :) Thanks for the port

I suggest to leave this ticket open while the port from Drupal 7 to 8 is in progress. How does that sound?

We would be happy to contribute testing patch, quality assurance, documentation, and agile project management services if needed

Any additional volunteers interested to join the efforts to port "Computed Field" module from Drupal 7 to 8?

All, the Drupal 8 branch is also at https://www.drupal.org/node/2588719

Fixed my typo. I meant to just add the link to the branch.

What is the difference between 8.x-1.x and 8.x-2.x?

Here is the answer to my question: https://www.drupal.org/node/2665434#comment-11100507

I need this module for D8 now so I'm trying to get it organized. The good news is that I'm already a maintainer.

See the first 2.x release for details. but I've deprecated the 1.x branch and marked the 2.x one as supported. I also moved all open 8.x issues from 1.x to 2.x.

Things should be less confusing now.

#4: Your offer to help with documentation and tests are still welcome now that we have a potentially working module again.

Anyone want to volunteer to change all of the D6 issue states to Closed (outdated)? It would be greatly appreciated!

I got a good amount of work done in the last couple of days. Please test the latest alpha, and report any issues. Thanks!

@colan: please review #2913014: Not using selected field type's formatters. Not sure, but I assume this is a missing feature from the D7 to D8 port.

I don't like to spoil your efforts here, but in my view it's not a good idea to execute PHP code from the database with eval() -- in D8 this should be deprecated.

The module for D8 should have the same disclaimer as the PHP filter module, that was removed from core:

https://www.drupal.org/project/php

I'm sceptical if this module can acquire the green shield for the D8 version.

Done

What about 7.x active support request last updated > 2 years ?

Would probably be better to wait for that just in case someone volunteers to help answer those at some point before Drupal 9 is released.

Thanks for the D6 work!

#16: Added to project page. Great idea; thanks!

See the new stable release.
