Drupal Site Building

In this post, we explore building a cards section with Layout Builder.

The thrilling conclusion to this eight-part miniseries includes the next steps for the SM project and the Symfony Messenger ecosystem.

A trio of modules provide a unique experience for sites utilising SM and Symfony Messenger messages: Common Stamps, Pusher Mini, and Toasty. This combination ultimately shows UI toasts in the browser when Symfony messages relevant to the user are processed.

Take advantage of Symfony Mailer’s first-class integration with Symfony Messenger brought to Drupal via the SM project, allowing your site to send emails asynchronously.

Projects no longer need to rely on unpredictable processing time frames. The SM project can intercept legacy Drupal @QueueWorker items and insert them into the Symfony Messenger message bus, effectively giving existing core and contrib queue workers jobs real-time processing capabilities.

Symfony Scheduler provides a viable replacement to hook_cron wherein messages can be scheduled for dispatch at a predefined interval. Messages are dispatched the moment they are scheduled, and there is no message duplication, making tasks more reliable and efficient.

The greatest advantage of Symfony Messenger is arguably the ability to send and process messages in a different thread almost immediately. This post covers the worker that powers this functionality.

This post covers Symfony Messenger’s message and message handlers, which are the day to day code developers using features of Symfony Messenger typically will be working on.

Part one in a series of posts introducing Symfony Messenger, its ecosystem, and unique Drupal integrations to Drupal developers.
