a blog by ian wright - front-end web developer based in the uk specialising in drupal & wordpress development. this post in a continuation post from creating our module (part 1) and this time i’m going to explain how i built out the help and configuration pages. to me these two section are very important to a module. the help page may not be used by many developers as all to create my drupal 8 module i setup the required files & folder structure. in drupal 7 you would require a .info & .module file. now in drupal 8 the only required file is the .info equivalent modulename.info.yml which contains similar information about the i have built multiple sites within drupal 8 now, some brochure & a few more complex sites but in all cases of drupal 8 the front-end theming is achieved with twig. what is twig? twig is a modern template engine for php  fast: twig compiles templates down to plain optimized php in drupal 7 there are loads of different mapping solutions but none of them would achieve all functionality which i required whilst developing sites. this is my developer diary on creating a drupal 8 mapping field formatter. each week at miggle we get the benefit of 10% time. 10% time is to allow developers expand their learning knowledge on something they think will help increase and benefit their work. for me, i use this time to expand my understanding of drupal 8. my pas*ion i have recently been working on a lot of drupal 8 sites and a few modules have had composer dependencies. when i first looked into how the dependencies worked i always seemed to hit a problem where i didn’t know how dependencies should be installed for drupal. this is in this example we are going to see the best route to take between two markers on a google map based on our mode of transport. in this example we are displaying multiple markers on the map, with each marker being clickable to display the info window. in this example we have altered the display of our map using the styled map wizard to set up the json for our styles.
