Module Builder Gets Dedicated Documentation Site for Drupal Code Generation

A recent update to Module Builder adds a dedicated reference resource for its code generation system. Joachim Noreiko announced the change in a blog post published on 19 March 2026.

The documentation site consolidates configuration options and component definitions that were previously accessed mainly through the module’s administrative interface. It covers features such as dependency injection, plugin inheritance, entity base fields, form elements, permissions, and library asset definitions, offering a central reference point for developers working with the tool.

Module Builder generates Drupal module code through guided forms, storing configuration as Drupal config entities. This allows developers to revisit module definitions, modify components, and regenerate code without rebuilding functionality manually. The documentation reflects this workflow by organising available options and explaining how components are structured. 

The tool analyses a site’s codebase to detect available hooks, plugin types, and services, presenting relevant options dynamically. Its interface is driven by schemas defined in the Drupal Code Builder library, enabling it to adapt as the underlying library evolves. The documentation primarily describes these capabilities from a usage perspective rather than detailing internal schema logic.

Alongside the documentation release, a minor interface update improves usability. When a new component section is added, such as for a plugin or entity type, the form now scrolls automatically to the newly created section using AJAX, making navigation clearer within complex forms.

The documentation site functions as a reference resource rather than a tutorial guide, focusing on available features and configuration patterns. It provides a clearer entry point for understanding a tool that generates and modifies Drupal module code based on site-specific analysis.
