1 This module creates the "DevelGenerate" plugin type.
3 All you need to do to provide a new instance for "DevelGenerate" plugin type
4 is to create your class extending "DevelGenerateBase" and following the next steps.
6 1 - Declaring your plugin with annotations:
9 * Provides a ExampleDevelGenerate plugin.
13 * label = @Translation("example"),
14 * description = @Translation("Generate a given number of example elements. Optionally delete current example elements."),
16 * permission = "administer example",
20 * "another_property" = "default_value"
25 2 - Implement "settingsForm" method to create a form using the properties from annotations.
27 3 - Implement "handleDrushParams" method. It should return an array of values.
29 4 - Implement "generateElements" method. You can write here your business logic
30 using the array of values.
34 You can alter existing properties for every plugin implementing hook_devel_generate_info_alter.
36 DevelGenerateBaseInterface details base wrapping methods that most DevelGenerate implementations
37 will want to directly inherit from Drupal\devel_generate\DevelGenerateBase.
39 To give support for a new field type the field type base class should properly
40 implements \Drupal\Core\Field\FieldItemInterface::generateSampleValue().
41 Devel generate automatically use the values returned by this method during the
42 generate process for generate placeholder field values. For more information
