When working on different Drupal projects I have faced a problem of repeatedly implementing certain features by code. Usually what I do is copy the code from some old modules/theme and customize it for the new requirements. I think most people use the same approach in this scenario.
I think we can automate much of this process by creating a code generation tool that maintains templates for most common functionalities. With this tool we can customize the template for the specific functionality and generate a Drupal component like module/theme/profile. Developers can share their templates for this tool. I am sure this tool will reduce the development cost and improve the developer experience(DX) of Drupal.
I decided to create an IDE for Drupal with this code generation functionality. I was thinking about creating an eclipse plugin for Drupal. But the eclipse plugin API is continuously changing and since I am not very fluent in java, I decided to create an online IDE in Drupal itself.
I have created a basic prototype of the IDE. Though this alpha prototype is ready to demonstrate the basic concept, I feel there is a lot that can be done and there are lot of bugs that need to be resolved. Now I want your guidance and suggestions to take this project to the next level.
So, I was thinking about this after running into some conflicts in Drupal and it seems a lot of the conflicts(not all) come down to duplicate values of unique code specifiers(css id, css class, javascript variables, etc.) appearing in multiple modules or themes.
For example, if two style sheets specify ".wrap" in two different ways.
Or if Javascript or php identify a variable with the same name.
How can I get usage statistics of modules, number of issue, last release date, module status etc.? D.org offers this feature? Is there any (open) APIs?
I need it to create a site like (and better than :)) drupalmodules.com, in my native language (russian).
Thanks! :)
I have a standalone java application which uses Apache Derby database. I am planning to fetch the data from that database. I tried a couple of methods but no luck. Is it even possible?
Any help is appreciated.
