Nothing can be more harmful than a culture that prevents talking about failure. Instead, when we learn to talk about our mistakes, others and ourselves will be able to get better much faster. I liked Kevin’s recommendation about creating a shared repository for the team to collect learnings they have made along the way./p piframe allowfullscreen= frameborder=0 height=485 marginheight=0 marginwidth=0 scrolling=no src=//www.slideshare.net/slideshow/embed_code/key/Hy9hLn7DeOPgMg style=border:1px solid #CCC; border-width:1px; margin-bottom:5px; max-width: 100%; width=595/iframe/p div style=margin-bottom:5pxstronga href=//www.slideshare.net/kevingoldsmith/fail-safe-fail-smart-succeed target=_blank title=Fail Safe, Fail Smart, SucceedFail Safe, Fail Smart, Succeed/a /strong from stronga href=https://www.slideshare.net/kevingoldsmith target=_blankKevin Goldsmith/a/strong/div p dir=ltra href=http://twitter.com/roidrageMathias Meyer/a – a href=http://2017.theleaddeveloper.com/talks#mathias-meyerBuilding and Scaling a Distributed and Inclusive Team/a gave some valuable insights into his experience at Travis CI. Having the team distributed across continents creates challenges such as when cultural mentalities differ, i.e. some would expect more direct communication while others are used to talk less directly about issues (a href=https://www.amazeelabs.com/en/blog/lead-developer-uk-conference-2017-day1remember ask vs. guess cultures from part 1/a?)./p p dir=ltrI liked the idea of setting up a lot of decision making processes asynchronously via github pull requests, so that team members can contribute at their individual pace. Also, Travis is using special incident response channels for teams on Slack where they collaborate on important tasks in a timely manner./p script async= class=speakerdeck-embed data-id=d6970e93287d4d1a852c7d37f0fe6d48 data-ratio=1.77777777777778 src=//speakerdeck.com/assets/embed.js/scriptp dir=ltra href=http://twitter.com/rkoutnikRandall Koutnik/a – a href=http://2017.theleaddeveloper.com/talks#randall-koutnikImplementers, Solvers, and Finders: Rethinking the Developer Career Path/a encouraged the audience to think beyond the classical categories of Junior, Regular and Senior developers. At a first stage, an implementer would give a solution specification and make it happen./p p dir=ltrTo level up, developers would become solvers that come up with their own solutions to given problems and in the latest stage, they would find their own problems. Think about providing context like a problem space or a given product and you delegate more responsibility to that person so she will need to find possible problems herself. /p script async= class=speakerdeck-embed data-id=2e18c7164c134166b7461b660c905d1c data-ratio=1.77777777777778 src=//speakerdeck.com/assets/embed.js/scriptp dir=ltra href=http://twitter.com/carlyhasredhairCarly Robinson/a – a href=http://2017.theleaddeveloper.com/talks#carly-robinsonMentoring Junior Engineers @ Slack HQ/a shared her personal career path and how she was mentored as a junior. Small startups often struggle with the task of providing the necessary mentorship for their juniors, so it was great to see such a success story. Carly mentioned that for her mentorship is a relationship and you need to establish a good foundation upfront between the mentor and the mentee. Setting goals, tracking progress and acknowledging success are important tools for successful mentorship./p p dir=ltrSimilarly, being aware of your own emotions is important when reviewing another person’s work. Your initial reaction might be “This is dumb, I know how to fix this.” Instead, by being able to step back when having that reaction and reframing it into something like “Why did that person do that thing?” may allow you to reflect and discover the underlying issues and help come to a solution more collaboratively. /p script async= class=speakerdeck-embed data-id=93ce18ad0a5442248b7e036de1868054 data-ratio=1.77777777777778 src=//speakerdeck.com/assets/embed.js/scriptp dir=ltrOverall, I got back from the Lead Developer conference with a lot of inspiration. It’s great to see that so many successful leaders talk about the same topics and mention that it’s worthwhile focusing on problems I face and try to tackle them everyday. For me, growing leadership skills is a continuous effort that takes a lot of self reflection and discipline. It might be easy to agree that points like “giving positive feedback” is the right thing to do, but implementing it into one self’s daily practice takes effort and practice./p p dir=ltrSlides of all talks mentioned above and more a href=http://2017.theleaddeveloper.com/blog/2017-06-12-slides-from-the-lead-developer-uk-2017can be found on the conference website/a. I’d like to thank the whole organizing team for setting-up an incredible line-up and making sure the code of conduct doesn’t feel like something added as a afterthought, but ensuring diversity amp; inclusion was something that was really to the core of the Lead Developer conference.

div class=field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hiddendiv class=field-itemsdiv class=field-item evenpAs part of the Drupal Association Board's duty, board members met in April and approved the Q4 2016 financial statements. Now, we are able to share them with the community to provide transparency and clarity. You can find the a href=https://www.drupal.org/files/Drupal%20Association%20-%20Q4%202016%20Financial%20Statements%20%281%29.pdf rel=nofollowfinancial statements here/a, which include the Income Statement and Balance Sheet for each month. Our cash balances are located on the balance sheet, located in the Asset section (first part of the balance sheet) called cash and cash equivalents./p pIn this blog post, we will answer the following questions:/p olli pHow did we perform financially this quarter?/p /li li pHow did we perform financially through the end of 2016?/p /li li pHow can we perform better in 2017?/p /li /olh3Setting Performance Metrics/h3 pTo answer #1 and #2, we need to know what success looks like. As they say, if you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it. The Drupal Association works with a virtual CFO firm called Summit CPA, who creates our monthly financial reports as well as sets our financial KPIs, making sure we are working towards goals that ensure the a href=https://assoc.drupal.org/blog/megansanicki/reorganizing-for-drupal rel=nofollowDrupal Association’s sustainability/a./p pSince the Drupal Association’s cash reserves were depleted due to investments in Drupal.org improvements especially to support Drupal 8’s release, Summit recommends that we rebuild our cash reserves and achieve a cash reserve KPI of 15%-30% of estimated twelve-month revenue. Since Drupal’s revenue and expenditures drastically fluctuate from month to month due to DrupalCon’s large cash outlay, a cash reserve goal closer to 30% is the ideal goal./p pTo rebuild our cash reserves, we need to create an operating profit to fill the reserve. To do this, Summit recommends that our second KPI is to achieve a Net Income Margin of 10%./p h3Q4 2016 Performance/h3 pSince Q4 2016 is near the beginning of our financial turnaround, we will see improvements with both KPIs over time. It is also important to note that Q4 is historically when our cash is lowest. It is the period of time that is between DrupalCon Europe, which operated at a loss, and DrupalCon North America, which rebuilds our cash since it is a profitable event./p pBelow is our KPI progress in Q4 2016./p tabletbodytrtd pKPI/p /td td pGOAL/p /td td pOCTOBER/p /td td pNOVEMBER/p /td td pDECEMBER/p /td /trtrtd pCASH RESERVE/p /td td p15-30%/p /td td p11%/p /td td p9%/p /td td p8%/p /td /trtrtd pNET INCOME MARGIN %/p /td td p10%/p /td td p1%/p /td td p1%/p /td td p0%/p /td /tr/tbody/tableh3/h3 h32016 End of Year Performance/h3 p2016 was a challenging year financially as we drastically reduced costs by laying off 40% of our staff and eliminating our Portland office. While these corrections were difficult, they set the organization on a sustainable path./p pWhile we continued to remain cash positive by the end of 2016 (see Cash Flow chart below), we operated at a loss, which was anticipated. In positive news, we reduced the losses by about $145,000 (see Forecast vs Actual table below)./p pChart: Cash Flow/p p(*This chart shows the Drupal Association’s cash flow.

To ensure a stronger year, we conducted a margin analysis of our programs to see where we need to focus./p pFrom this study, we found several areas to focus in 2017 that create value for the community while also improving our financial health. Areas of focus include:/p ulli pMake DrupalCon Europe a financially sustainable event that continues to provide value/p /li li pGrow DrupalCon North America attendance through improved marketing and attracting more end users with customer content such as industry summits and case studies./p /li li pCreate more value for Supporting Partners to grow participation and create a program for End Users to join./p /li li pImprove the Drupal adoption journey off of the Drupal.org front page by including content from Drupal businesses that provide value for the visitors and branding or leads for the Drupal businesses who provide the content./p /li li pIdentify ways to reduce costs associated with Drupal.org by studying the sites and services the Drupal Association provides to see if we can reduce associated costs./p /li /ulpWe are hard at work making the above improvements and starting to see encouraging results. Starting with our 2017 quarterly updates, we will provide more clarity into our financial portfolio and how each program performed./p/div/div/divdiv class=field field-name-upload field-type-file field-label-abovediv class=field-labelFile attachments:nbsp;/divdiv class=field-itemsdiv class=field-item evenspan class=file a href=https://www.drupal.org/files/image1_9.png type=image/png; length=9756image1.png/a/span/divdiv class=field-item oddspan class=file a href=https://www.drupal.org/files/image2_5.png type=image/png; length=217400image2.png/a/span/divdiv class=field-item evenspan class=file a href=https://www.drupal.org/files/Drupal%20Association%20-%20Q4%202016%20Financial%20Statements%20%281%29.pdf type=application/pdf; length=997838Drupal Association - Q4 2016 Financial Statements (1).pdf/a/span/div/div/div

div class=rich-textdiv class=rich-text__contentpbr/ Embedding media assets (images, videos, related content, etc) in a WYSIWYG text area is a long-standing need that has been challenging in Drupal sites for a while. In Drupal 7, numerous solutions addressed the problem with different (and sometimes competing) approaches.#xA0;/p pbr/ Drupal 8 core comes with basic support for embedding images out-of-the-box, but we all know that #x201C;ambitious digital experiences#x201D; nowadays need to go far beyond that and provide editors with a powerful tool capable of handling any type of media asset, including remote ones such as a relevant Tweet or Facebook post.br/ #xA0;/p pThis is where the powerful combination of a href=http://dgo.to/entity_embedEntity Embed/a + a href=http://dgo.to/url_embedURL Embed/a comes into play.

In other words, you can embed nodes, taxonomy terms, comments, users, profiles, forms, media entities, etc. all in the same way and using a standard workflow./p pIn order to limit the length of this article, we will be working only with entities provided by Drupal core, but you should definitely try the a href=http://dgo.to/media_entityMedia Entity/a module, which can take your embedding capabilities to a whole new level (more on this at the end of this article)./p h3Basic installation and configuration/h3 pstrongCreate an embed button/strong/p pAfter a href=https://www.drupal.org/node/895232downloading and installing/a the a href=http://dgo.to/entity_embedEntity Embed/a module and its dependencies, navigate to#xA0;/p pciteConfiguration -gt; Content Authoring -gt; Text editor embed buttons/cite/p por go directly to code/admin/config/content/embed/code and click strong#x201C;Add embed button#x201D;/strong/p /divdiv class=rich-text__embedundefined/divdiv class=rich-text__content pYou will see that there is already a button on this page called #x201C;Node,#x201D; which was automatically created upon installation.

It means that any content from one of the sites below (but not limited to these) can be embedded:/p ulliDeviantart/li liFacebook/li liFlickr/li liHulu/li liIFTTT/li liInstagram/li liNational Film Board of Canada/li liNoembed/li liPodbean/li liRevision3/li liScribd/li liSlideShare/li liSmugMug/li liSoundCloud/li liSpotify/li liTED/li liTwitter/li liUstream/li liViddler/li liVimeo/li liYouTube/li /ul pUnder the hood, the module leverages the awesome a href=https://github.com/oscarotero/EmbedEmbed/a open-source library to fetch the content from the remote sites, and uses the same a href=http://dgo.to/embedbase framework/a as Entity Embed to create embed buttons for this type of content. As a result, the site builder has a very similar workflow when configuring the WYSIWYG tools, which can then be used by the content editor in a very intuitive way. Let#x2019;s see how all that works./p h3Install the module and create a URL Embed button/h3 pAs usual, the first step is to enable the module itself, along with all its dependencies./p tabletbodytrtd pstrongemCommon pitfall/em/strong/p pemThis module depends on the external#xA0;a href=https://github.com/oscarotero/EmbedEmbed library/a. If you are using Composer to download the Drupal module (which you should), Composer will do all the necessary work to fetch the dependencies for you. You can also install only the library itself using Composer if you want. To do that just run quot;/emcodecomposer require embed/embed/codeemquot;.#xA0;Failing to correctly install the library will prevent#xA0;the module from being enabled, with an error message such as:/em/p /divdiv class=rich-text__embedundefined/divdiv class=rich-text__content /td /tr/tbody/table pOnce successfully enabled, the #x201C;strongEmbed button/strong#x201D; concept here is exactly the same as in the previous example, so all we need is to go back to code/admin/config/content/embed/code ./p /divdiv class=rich-text__embedundefined/divdiv class=rich-text__content pThe module already creates a new button for us, intended for embedding remote content. URL buttons have no specific configuration except for name, type and icon, so we#x2019;ll skip the button configuration part./p h3URL Embed: WYSIWYG Configuration/h3 pSimilarly to what we did with the Entity button, we need to follow the same steps here to enable the URL Embed button on a given text format:/p ullistrongStep 1/strong: Place the button in the active toolbar/li listrongStep 2/strong: Mark the checkbox #x201C;strongDisplay embedded URLs/strong#x201D;/li listrongStep 3/strong: Make sure the special tags are whitelisted.

If you do this though, make sure you reorder the filters so that #x201C;strongDisplay embedded URLs/strong#x201D; is placed after the filter #x201C;strongConvert URLs to URL embeds/strong#x201D;/li /ul h3#xA0;All done, go embed some remote content!/h3 /divdiv class=rich-text__embeddiv class=videoiframe allowfullscreen frameborder=0 src=https://www.youtube.com/embed/Ehjk9WGJJuQVideos require iframe browser support./iframe/div/divdiv class=rich-text__content tabletbodytrtd pstrongemCommon pitfall/em/strong/p pemPlease bear in mind that while the Embed library can deal with many remote websites, it won#x2019;t do magic with providers that don#x2019;t implement the#xA0;oEmbed#xA0;protocol in a consistent way! Currently the module will only render the content of providers that return something inside the code property. If you are trying to embed some remote content that is not appearing correctly on your site, you can troubleshoot it by going to the URL:#xA0;a href=https://oscarotero.com/embed3/demohttps://oscarotero.com/embed3/demo/a#xA0;and trying the same URL there. If there is no content inside the#xA0;code#xA0;property, this URL unfortunately can#x2019;t be embedded in Drupal using URL Embed. Once#xA0;a href=https://www.drupal.org/node/2864302this issue/a#xA0;is complete, this will be less of an issue because the validation will prevent the user from entering an invalid URL./em/p /td /tr/tbody/table h2Get even more by integrating with other Media solutions/h2 pThere are at least two important ways you can extend the solutions indicated here, to achieve an even more powerful or easy-to-use editorial experience. Those approaches will be discussed in detail in upcoming articles, but you can have a brief idea about them below, in case you want to start learning about them right away./p h3Allow content to be selected through Entity Browsers/h3 pbr/ In the previous example, the content being embedded (in this case a referenced node) was selected by the editor using an autocomplete field. This is a very basic solution, available out-of-the-box for any referenced entity in Drupal core, but it does not provide the ultimate user experience we would expect from a modern CMS. The good news: it#x2019;s an easy fix. Plug any a href=http://dgo.to/entity_browserEntity Browser/a you may have on your site to any embed button you have created.#xA0;/p pGoing over the configuration of Entity Browsers is beyond the scope of this article, but you can read more at the a href=https://drupal-media.gitbooks.io/drupal8-guide/content/modules/entity_browser/intro.htmlofficial documentation/a, or directly by giving it a try, using one of the pre-packaged modules like a href=http://dgo.to/file_browserFile Entity Browser/a, a href=http://dgo.to/content_browserContent Browser/a or a href=http://dgo.to/media_entity_browserMedia Entity Browser/a./p tabletbodytrtd pstrongemCommon pitfall/em/strong/p pemIf you are using an Entity Browser to select the content to be embedded, make sure your browser is configured to have a display plugin of type #x201C;strongiFrame/strong.#x201D; The Embed options already appear in a modal window, so selecting an Entity Browser that is configured to be shown in a modal window won#x2019;t work./em/p /td /tr/tbody/table h3Use the Media Entity module to deal (also) with remote media assets/h3 pThe URL Embed module is a handy solution to allow your site editors to embed remote media assets in a quick-and-easy way, but what if:/p ulliyou want to standardize your workflow for managing local and remote media assets?/li liyou want to have a way to re-use content that was already embedded in other pieces of content?/li lietc./li /ul pA possible alternative that would solve all those needs is to standardize how Drupal sees all your media assets. The a href=http://dgo.to/media_entityMedia Entity/a approach means that you can #x201C;wrap#x201D; both local and remote media assets in a special #x201C;codemedia/codequot; entity type, and as a result, the Entity Embed could be used with any type of asset, once all of them are Drupal entities regardless of their real storage./p h2In Conclusion/h2 pHopefully, you find this a useful tutorial. I can strongly recommend this #x201C;Media Entity#x201D; approach, because it a href=https://www.drupal.org/node/2786785is being partly moved into Drupal core/a, which will result in an even stronger foundation for how Drupal sites will handle media assets in the near future./p h2Acknowledgements/h2 pThanks to a href=/about/seth-brownSeth Brown/a, a href=/about/david-burnsDavid#xA0;Burns/a#xA0;and a href=/about/dave-reidDave Reid/a for their help with this article./p h2Other articles in this series/h2 ullia href=/articles/ways-to-help-the-d8-media-initiativeWays to Help the D8 Media Initiative/a/li /ul pemImage credit: a href=https://www.pexels.com/u/daiangan/Daian Gan/a/em/p /div/div

You decide to build an app, because you’ll have full access to all features of the device that you want your solution to work on. But then it dawns on you: you will actually need to build multiple apps in completely different languages while finding a way for them to serve the same content.../p p dir=ltrThen you start to realise that you won’t be able to step into the shoes of the greats, because web technology is holding you back. Fortunately, strongDrupal 8/strong and strongReact Native/strong are here to save your day - and your dream!/p p dir=ltrIn this blog post you'll read how you can leverage Drupal 8 to serve as the back-end for your React Native app. /p p dir=ltrFirst, however, a quick definition of what these technologies are:/p ul dir=ltrliDrupal is an open source content management system based on PHP./li liReact Native is a framework to build native apps using JavaScript and React./li /ulp dir=ltrIf you want to read more about Drupal 8 or React Native, you're invited to check the sources at the bottom of this article.br /  /p h2 dir=ltrWhy React Native?/h2 p dir=ltrThere are a myriad of front-end technologies available to you these days. The most popular ones are Angular and React. Both technologies allow you to build apps, but there is a big difference in how the apps will be built./p p dir=ltrThe advantage of employing React Native is that it lets you build an app using JavaScript, while converting the JavaScript into native code. In contrast, Angular or Ionic allow you to create a hybrid app, which basically is a website that gets embedded in a web view. Although the benefit here is that you're able to access the native features of a device./p p dir=ltrIn this case, we prefer React Native, because we strongwant to build iOS and Android applications that run natively/strong.br /  /p h2 dir=ltrHeadless Drupal/h2 p dir=ltrOne of the big buzzwords that's been doing the rounds in the Drupal community lately is 'Headless'. A headless Drupal is actually a Drupal application where the front-end is not served by Drupal, but by a different technology./p p dir=ltrYou still get the benefits of a top notch and extremely flexible content management system, but you also get the benefits of your chosen front-end technology./p p dir=ltrIn this example, you'll discover how to set up a native iOS and Android application that gets its data from a Drupal website. To access the information, users will have to log in to the app, which allows the app to serve content tailored to the preferences of the user. Crucial in the current individualized digital world./p p dir=ltr /p p dir=ltrimg alt=Drupal 8 - React Native Android iOS data-entity-type=file data-entity-uuid=84e9dc6c-34fd-4872-8aa9-482a735a6b74 src=http://dropsolid.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/drupal%208%20-%20react%20native.jpg //p p dir=ltrSo this already brings us to our first hurdle. Because we are using a native application, authenticating users through cookies or sessions is not possible. So we are going to show you how to prepare your React Native application and your Drupal site to accept authenticated requests.br /  /p h2 dir=ltrThe architecture/h2 p dir=ltrThe architecture consists of a vanilla Drupal 8 version and a React Native project with Redux./p p dir=ltrThe implemented flow is as following:/p ol dir=ltrliA user gets the login screen presented on the app./li liThe user fills in his credentials in the form/li liThe app posts the credentials to the endpoint in Drupal/li liDrupal validates the credentials and logs the user in/li liDrupal responds with a token based on the current user/li liThe app stores the token for future use/li liThe app now uses the token for all other requests the app makes to the Drupal REST API.br /  /li /olh2 dir=ltrCreating an endpoint in Drupal/h2 p dir=ltrFirst we had to choose our authentication method. In this example, we opted to authenticate using a JWT or JSON web token, because there already is a great contributed module available for it on Drupal.org (a href=https://www.drupal.org/project/jwt target=_blankhttps://www.drupal.org/project/jwt/a)./p p dir=ltrThis module provides an authentication service that you can use with the REST module that is now in Drupal 8 core. This authentication service will read the token that is passed in the headers of the request and will determine the current user from it. All subsequent functionality in Drupal will then use that user to determine if it has permission to access the requested resources. This authentication service works for all subsequent requests, but not for the original request to get the JWT./p p dir=ltrThe original endpoint the JWT module provides, already expects the user to be logged in before it can serve the token. You could use the ready available basic authentication service, but we preferred to build our own as an example.br /  /p h2 dir=ltrAuthentication with JSON post/h2 p dir=ltrInstead of passing along the username and password in the headers of the request like the basic authentication service expects, we will send the username and password in the body of our request formatted as JSON./p p dir=ltrOur authentication class implements the emAuthenticationProviderInterface/em and is announced in emjson_web_token.services.yml/em as follows:/p pre code class=language-yamlservices: authentication.json_web_token: class: Drupal\json_web_token\Authentication\Provider\JsonAuthenticationProvider arguments: ['@config.factory', '@user.auth', '@flood', '@entity.manager'] tags: - { name: authentication_provider, provider_id: 'json_authentication_provider', priority: 100 }/code/pre pThe interface states that we have to implement two methods, applies and authenticate:/p pre code class=language-yamlpublic function applies(Request $request) { $content = json_decode($request-getContent()); return isset($content-username, $content-password) !empty($content-username) !empty($content-password); }/code/pre pHere we define when the authenticator should be applied. So our requirement is that the JSON that is posted contains a username and password. In all other cases this authenticator can be skipped. Every authenticator service you define will always be called by Drupal. Therefore, it is very important that you define your conditions for applying the authentication service./p pre code class=language-yamlpublic function authenticate(Request $request) { $flood_config = $this-configFactory-get('user.flood'); $content = json_decode($request-getContent()); $username = $content-username; $password = $content-password; // Flood protection: this is very similar to the user login form code. // @see \Drupal\user\Form\UserLoginForm::validateAuthentication() // Do not allow any login from the current user's IP if the limit has been // reached. Default is 50 failed attempts allowed in one hour. This is // independent of the per-user limit to catch attempts from one IP to log // in to many different user accounts. We have a reasonably high limit // since there may be only one apparent IP for all users at an institution. if ($this-flood-isAllowed(json_authentication_provider.failed_login_ip', $flood_config-get('ip_limit'), $flood_config-get('ip_window'))) { $accounts = $this-entityManager-getStorage('user') -loadByProperties(array('name' = $username, 'status' = 1)); $account = reset($accounts); if ($account) { if ($flood_config-get('uid_only')) { // Register flood events based on the uid only, so they apply for any // IP address. This is the most secure option. $identifier = $account-id(); } else { // The default identifier is a combination of uid and IP address. This // is less secure but more resistant to denial-of-service attacks that // could lock out all users with public user names. $identifier = $account-id() . '-' . $request-getClientIP(); } // Don't allow login if the limit for this user has been reached. // Default is to allow 5 failed attempts every 6 hours. if ($this-flood-isAllowed('json_authentication_provider.failed_login_user', $flood_config-get('user_limit'), $flood_config-get('user_window'), $identifier)) { $uid = $this-userAuth-authenticate($username, $password); if ($uid) { $this-flood-clear('json_authentication_provider.failed_login_user', $identifier); return $this-entityManager-getStorage('user')-load($uid); } else { // Register a per-user failed login event. $this-flood-register('json_authentication_provider.failed_login_user', $flood_config-get('user_window'), $identifier); } } } } // Always register an IP-based failed login event. $this-flood-register('json_authentication_provider.failed_login_ip', $flood_config-get('ip_window')); return []; }/code/pre pHere we mostly reimplemented the authentication functionality of the basic authorization service, with the difference that we read the data from a JSON format. This code logs the user into the Drupal application. All the extra code is flood protection./p h2Getting the JWT token/h2 pTo get the JWT token we leveraged the REST module, and created a new rest resource plugin. We could have used the endpoint the module already provides, but we prefer to create all our endpoints with a version in it. We defined the plugin with the following annotation:/p pre code class=language-json/** * Provides a resource to get a JWT token. * * @RestResource( * id = token_rest_resource, * label = @Translation(Token rest resource), * uri_paths = { * canonical = /api/v1/token, * https://www.drupal.org/link-relations/create = /api/v1/token * } * ) *//code/pre pThe emuri_paths/em are the most important part of this annotation. By setting both the canonical and the weird looking Drupal.org keys, we are able to set a fully custom path for our endpoint. That allows us to set the version of our API in the URI like this: em/api/v1/token/em. This way we can easily roll out new versions of our API and clearly communicate about deprecating older versions./p pOur class extends the emResourceBase /emclass provided by the REST module. We only implemented a post method in our class, as we only want this endpoint to handle posts./p pre code class=language-yamlpublic function post() { if($this-currentUser-isAnonymous()){ $data['message'] = $this-t(Login failed. If you don't have an account register. If you forgot your credentials please reset your password.); }else{ $data['message'] = $this-t('Login succeeded'); $data['token'] = $this-generateToken(); } return new ResourceResponse($data); } /** * Generates a new JWT. */ protected function generateToken() { $token = new JsonWebToken(); $event = new JwtAuthIssuerEvent($token); $this-eventDispatcher-dispatch(JwtAuthIssuerEvents::GENERATE, $event); $jwt = $event-getToken(); return $this-transcoder-encode($jwt, array()); }/code/pre pThe emgenerateToken /emmethod is a custom method where we leverage the JWT module to get us a token that we can return. br /  br / We do not return a JSON object directly. We return a response in the form of an array. This is a very handy feature of the REST module, because you can choose the formats of your endpoint using the interface in Drupal. So you could easily return any other supported format like xml, JSON or hal_json. For this example, we chose hal_json. /p pDrupal has some built-in security measures for non-safe methods. The only safe methods are HEAD, GET, OPTIONS and TRACE.
