[meta] 8.x-1.x

Hi there,

I and @bohart were working on Oracle database driver for Drupal 8 (with some success https://drupal.org/comment/8283729#comment-8283729 :)). And now we want to make some contribution in Drupal 8 port of MongoDB project.
Can you tell us what current state of the project is?
What can be done? and maybe what should be done first?

Thanks

Depending on how much time you have for the project, the biggest help without a doubt would be field storage. Most of the logic can be salvaged from D7 just needs to be moved around.

I'd like to work on this (it will be a chance for me to understand what "field/field instance" means and how it works in Drupal 8 :)).
But looks like porting of 'MongoDB field storage' module to Drupal 8 will not be quite "porting" according to Fields are no longer handled individually and are bound to an entity type :)
I am not sure that understand how this "porting" can be done. It will be great to here your advice(s).
Also, maybe some core issues exists which can block working on MongoDB "field storage" for Drupal 8?

Thanks.

Enabling the module currently requires a number of core patched to be included. In a specific order, to avoid conflicts:

• #2199381: Add \Drupal\Core\Path\PathInterface
• #2209145: Move all path alias SQL queries to a single storage controller
• #2224933: Path storage abstraction followup

Plus a patch in this issue, to complete the list.

Here is the patch to apply on top of the core ones.

Better version.

Watchdog ported. Will add some polish.

Path appears to work : the aliases UI is operational with this patch applied on top of #2209145: Move all path alias SQL queries to a single storage controller patch 21.

• RouteProvider: yes, I had to inject the RouteProvider because otherwise the core RouteProvider broke when dereferencing $this->state in getCandidateOutlines() : it found it to be null.
• collection getter: not sure indeed. I used it for the url_alias and watchdog and I find makes purposes clearer when reading code, but with only these two references, the gain is indeed minor here. I still prefer it, but not by much in this case
• wrapping long lines: there is indeed no coding standard for this AFAIK since it's neither a comment nor an array. I wrapped it because I dislike having to scroll horizontally to read code, but no big deal
• mongo_collection: gladly ! I only renamed it from its previons "mongo_colleciton" name, though, didn't introduce it.

I will do this tomorrow morning if time permits.

New version, applies on top of #1987802: Convert path_admin_overview() to a new style controller, then #2209145: Move all path alias SQL queries to a single storage controller.

• unwrapped the long line
• removed the mongo_collection unused argument
• fixed a problem with path loading for the url_alias edit form

Somehow interdiff generates a broken interdiff ?

No answer in 4 years, and 8.x-1.x has been broken and unsupported since 2014 anyway, so marking outdated.
