Velir Enhances DDEV for Streamlined Drupal Development
Velir recently contributed a quality-of-life improvement to the open-source project DDEV, a tool commonly used for creating local development environments in Drupal projects. The enhancement, described by Velir's Kevin Quillen, addresses the need for easier access to services like Apache Solr by allowing subdomain access without a port number, making it simpler for developers to manage URLs.
Kevin identified a limitation in the 'ddev describe' command that failed to reflect changes to the "VIRTUAL_HOST" environment variable. After reviewing the Go-based code and with support from DDEV's project lead Randy Fay and maintainer Stas, Kevin successfully modified the code, resulting in a pull request that updates the output to display the correct URL. This improvement, now part of a recent DDEV release, demonstrates Velir's ongoing commitment to supporting open-source software and enhancing developer workflows.
