Why open video is vital for Open Source

Why open video is vital for Open Source

The news that the European Commission’s competition directorate (DG COMP) has decided not to conduct a full antitrust investigation into the Alliance for Open Media’s (AOM) licensing policy is to be welcomed.

Social media can be a ‘profound risk’ to youth, surgeon general warns

Posted on May 24, 2023 by Michael G
The United States surgeon general, Dr. Vivek H. Murthy, issued a public advisory on Tuesday warning of the risks of social media use to young people. In a 19-page report, Dr. Murthy noted that although the effects of social media on adolescent mental health were not fully understood, and that social media can be beneficial to some users, “there are ample indicators that social media can also have a profound risk of harm to the mental health and well-being of children and adolescents.” The surgeon general called on policymakers, tech companies, researchers and parents to “urgently take action” to safeguard against the potential risks. I don’t think anyone sane really needs to be convinced of the dangers of poorly-run and terribly moderated social media like Twitter and Facebook, but I do wonder why the supposed dangers stop at the age of 18? If we look at the past 10-15 years, it seems like to me the people who most easily fall prey to misinformation and targeted troll campaigns on social media are people of older generations, who then proceeded to to incredible damage to our societies in voting booths – something that can still get a lot worse in the coming years. I have no idea how to fix any of this – social media will always exist, and so will its dark side – but we better start thinking of something, fast, because I’m afraid the damage to our society we’ve seen so far from gullible idiots falling for obvious nonsense on social media is only going to get worse from here on out.

How to Adhere to Drupal Coding Standards with Git Hooks
Prabhu
23 May, 2023

Good code is like well-built Lego creations – it’s strong, looks good, and is easy to change if you need to. The importance of good coding standards is especially high when you’re coding in a team, working on a scalable project, or participating in an open-source community like Drupal.  

As with any other open-source project, Drupal has thousands of developers working on the project. And each of them comes with their own level of expertise. How do you ensure everyone on your team or in the community follows good coding practices? Git Hooks!

Git Hooks are an easy and automated way of ensuring your code always meets Drupal’s coding standards. Implementing Drupal Coding Standards with Git hook will help developers to commit and push the code with proper coding standards as declared by the Drupal community. It can also help improve your project management skills and allows developers to commit code with proper commit message standards. Learn more about Git hooks and how to put them into action.

Specbee: How to Adhere to Drupal Coding Standards with Git Hooks

What is a Git Hook

Git Hooks are scripts that will run automatically every time a Git command is invoked. Just as you would use hook_form_alter to alter the forms in Drupal, you can have separate pre-defined hooks for every Git action.

git hook

The Pictorial Representation of Git hook

Finding Git hooks

You can find Git hooks within your project folder (provided Git is initialized) under .git/hooks.  There, you will find all the hooks with .sample extension to prevent them from executing by default.

To make use of the required hooks, you need to remove the .sample extension and edit your code for the execution.

There are many Git hooks available but we are going to use pre-commit Git hooks for initiating Drupal coding standards. 

Pre-commit Git hooks are hooks that will run before the code gets committed. It checks for the line of code that’s getting committed.

Implementing Git Hooks

Before you start, make sure you have these basic requirements ready:

  • Composer
  • Git
  • Php-code-sniffer
  • drupal/coder:8.3.13

The below procedure is for installing it in Mac devices. You can find the reference link here for installing instructions on other devices.

  • brew install php-code-sniffer
  • composer global require drupal/coder:8.3.13
  • phpcs –config-set installed_paths ~/.composer/vendor/drupal/coder/coder_sniffer
  • phpcs -i  → Will give you installed coding standards.

Let’s begin!

I am creating a new Drupal project called demo. You can use it in your existing project as well.

drupal project demo

 

→ Using cd command we got into the project folder.
     cd demo

→ initializing git into the project
    Git init

→ Adding and making my first commit.
    git commit -m “Initial commit”

Initial commit

 

→ Installing php code sniffer using below command for Mac.
    brew install php-code-sniffer

auto updated

 

→ Installing Drupal coder using composer
composer global require drupal/coder:8.3.13

→ Once the coder and its path are defined you will get the following output as shown below image. 
phpcs –config-set installed_paths ~/.composer/vendor/drupal/coder/coder_sniffer

→ phpcs -i
The above command will give you Drupal and DrupalPractice

sniffer

→ Now you can commit your code. If you have any syntax or coding standard error, you will be notified in the display and your commit process will be aborted.

commit code

→ Below is the code to fix the error automatically

phpcbf –standard=Drupal –extensions=php,module,inc,install,test,profile,theme,css,info,txt,md,yml web/modules/custom/demo

Any other issues will need to be fixed manually. Commit your code once done.

fix error code

Once your code is clean it will allow you to commit the code

test code

Just copy and paste the code in pre-commit.sample within .git/hooks. Don’t forget to remove sample extensions.

Pre-commit code sample:

#!/bin/bash

# Redirect output to stderr.

exec 1>&2

# Color codes for the error message.

redclr=`tput setaf 1`
greenclr=`tput setaf 2`
blueclr=`tput setaf 4`
reset=`tput sgr0`

# Printing the notification in the display screen.

echo  “${blueclr}”
