Test-Driven Drupal Development and Recipe Autocomplete: London Meetup on 20th

Staff Reporter

London Drupal Meetup — The DropTimes / The DropTimes

The London Drupal User Group is organizing an engaging session on Test-Driven Development (TDD) in Drupal and the new Drupal Recipe Autocomplete in VSCode. The event is scheduled to happen on on November 20th at The Children’s Society in East London. It will be hosted by Oliver Davies and Marcelo Vani. This meetup is perfect for developers looking to streamline their Drupal workflows and enhance project quality through automated testing.

Marcelo will introduce the Drupal Recipe Autocomplete, a feature in VSCode that speeds up coding by suggesting Drupal recipes as you type. This tool enhances productivity by reducing the need to memorize code, especially useful for those juggling multiple projects.

Oliver’s session dives into TDD, emphasizing how testing can strengthen your code. Covering core methodologies and PHPUnit, widely adopted in PHP projects like Symfony, this session reveals TDD's role in creating robust, bug-resistant code. TDD is essential for building features and maintaining high standards in Drupal core.

The event begins at 6:00 p.m. at The Children’s Society office, 50 Banner Street, EC1Y 8ST, with presentations starting at 6:30 p.m., followed by a networking social. RSVP now to secure your place!
