I'm looking for a reference document of some sort that is geared toward experienced Drupal 7 developers who want to have an easy reference for the "new way" of doing various things. Ideally, I'd love to find something that has a before and after reference for all the hooks, functions, and techniques that were standard in 7 that are no longer functional in 9. Something I can refer to when I want to do the things I've done a thousand times before but now its all different.
Looking for the need for using mirrored Packagist, Self hosted Private Packagist, Satis, private customizations to Composer and public plugins for Composer.
Not looking for the obvious ones, but when there is an interesting requirement for it, feel free to respond.
I like drupal, I find this cms as a good one. I joined to ver 7 a several years ago. Biginning with ver 8/9 is it possible to use the system only via composer, which is using a packagist - some system of dependencies of packages/scripts (if I'm right). The packagist is one project of some german commercial company. As I launched yesrterday the composer update I saw the message with an appeal to stand with ukraine, in connection with the conflict taking place there. It was a political message. I do not mean that is correct to drag into politics here.
I noticed that in Drupal 8 and 9. You can set up CRUD permissions for every node/bundle combination right from the core permission form. This is great, but for comments it seems to be comment everywhere or no where.
In my project I have node types, were I assign a bunch of users to a node (like a mini project) and want mostly that only these user can CRUD comments related to that node. The admins role shall still CRUD comments everywere.
Additionally I use Drupal as a headless API system with JSON:API.
