Drupal 8 Views Twig Entity Translation

Accessing Translated Entity in Views Twig | Drupal 8

Though ideally if we use the views correctly and override them well, Drupal Views itself take care of getting the translated version as per configurations of the view. For details check this: EntityField::getValue

Extra Information

Storing extra information for any entity in Drupal

A lot of times we come across a requirement where we need to manage some additional data for the Drupal entities. Now, if we think simply, the solution is to create fields .. right... easy and best, that's what Drupal is all about, entities and their properties as fields. But, there can be scenarios where the entity is not fieldable (as of now).

Twig global variable

Making a variable available (as global) in all twig files in Drupal

Most of us know, the ideal way of making a variable available in a specific twig file is to use hook_preprocess_HOOK. But what if we have a requirement that we need a kind of global variable that should be accessible in any twig file. So, that we are able to use it wherever we want to, without additional pain.

The best part of Drupal is, everything is possible. But at the same time, there is a trick, you always have more than one way of doing things. And now it's in your hands to pick up the best suitable performant way for your solution.

Performance

In my life there is one person ... from whom i have learnt this thing ... "How we can do things that we really cann't ?" and i m very much thankful to him...cause this thing has helped me to learn management and many a things in the life which are very crucial. Let me know come to the point ... how it will happen .???? Better would be if I tell u the exact story what happened and how i learnt this ..    In our college a team was suppose to come to evaluate and grade the biomedical department... so a frnd of me in that department only was engaged in the responsibilities for the same..

Life

Your weakest point can be your strongest point

Good noon friends.... today i would like to draw ur attention towards an very important aspect of life ...." Strongest and Weakest Point ". The first and most important point is that we must understand what are our strong points and weak points. An good analysis of real life can make u understand something very significant and that i will make u clear thereafter. Its a saying too ..."before understanding others ... see urself" here see urself means ... analyze urself.. u must know urself.

Yes it matters a lot how we think ...!!!

Have heard that we should always think positively, but especially in my opinion we should think in both ways cause if u think only positively u leave the really bad aspects of life although you for the moment become happy and enjoy the life but in the long run you will have to pay for that small happiness. So, I would like to suggest you to think in both ways and yes its all your thinking how the things will happen ... basically how u will do things and correspondingly it will react. I would like to draw ur attention to the famous quote of Apple : THINK BIGGER ....

QED42

My first week @ QED42

          It's the peak time of anybody's life when the phase shifts to production leaving back the development and finally the same happened with me. Starting the professional career with QED42 is the result of QED42's selection and my preference. I don't know whether I'm lucky enough or i really deserve to be a part of QED42, both-ways I feel like I'm the winner. How ? My next few lines would be dedicated to explain the reasons to support my words.
