Module of the Week:
Drupal.org Username Field
- Brief description:
- Have you ever wanted to have a field on user profiles specifically designed for drupal.org usernames? There’s a module for that
- Module name/project name:
- Brief history
- How old: created in August 2019 by hussainweb AKA Hussain Abbas of Axelerant
- Versions available: 2.0.0-beta4
- Maintainership
- Actively maintained, that release was made less than 6 months ago
- Test coverage
- Number of open issues: 8 open issues, none of which are bugs
- Usage stats:
- 1 site
- Module features and usage
- The module provides a new field type, along with its own widget and formatter
- With a simple checkbox, you can get the module to validate that the provided username is registered on drupal.org
- What’s really powerful about this module is that it can also pull other information from the drupal.org profile, such as first and last name, country, bio, and more
- It does this by leveraging a Guzzle-based API client for drupal.org that Hussain created as part of a DrupalCon Asia developer contest
- I believe the intended use of the modules is to use a provided drush command to copy the values from the drupal.org username field into other fields, where they would be displayed to site visitors
- Although this module isn’t something that a lot of sites will need, I could see it being really useful for Drupal camp websites, to automatically collect a lot of the information that many such sites ask users to populate manually
- I think it’s also an interesting use of the Drupal.org API, and could be a useful reference for anyone needing to implement a custom integration
