Apigee Module Comparison D7 -> D8
- Steven Maglio
This page uses the Apigee Documentation as a frame of reference to determine which modules are going to be moved (and sometimes used in the future) in the Drupal 8 instance. The notes column contain information from UCSB’s usage.
(Original table copied from https://docs.apigee.com/api-platform/publish/drupal/d7-d8-module-comparison)
Drupal 7 Module | Drupal 8 Module | Notes | UCSB Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
Developer Portal - Core |
| ||
Devconnect API (devconnect) |
| Core functionality that connects Drupal to Apigee Edge servers | |
DevConnect developer apps (devconnect_developer_apps) |
| Core functionality - Probably contains entity objects for working with Apigee Applications | |
DevConnect User (devconnect_user) |
| Core functionality - This connects the Drupal user accounts to the Apigee User accounts. This probably also sets up a hook that allows Drupal user account management to also manage the Apigee account. | |
Developer Portal - Extensions |
| ||
Dev Portal Status Report (devconnect_status) | - | Status checks are handled by the Update Manager in Drupal 8 Core. |
|
Devconnect Admin notification (devconnect_admin_notify) | - | Set admin email notifications for new users by Configuring user account settings. |
|
DevConnect App Attribute Management (devconnect_app_attributes) |
| This seems like it would most likely be folded into the “developers apps” section in the D8 version. | |
DevConnect Debug (devconnect_debug) | Enable the "Apigee Edge Debug" submodule. | (I’ve did not use this in the D7 version) | |
DevConnect Key-Value Maps (devconnect_key_value_map) | - | Key-Value map calls to the Edge API are not part of the Drupal 8 Edge module. You can call the Apigee API directly or open an enhancement ticket on https://github.com/apigee/apigee-client-php if needed by your organization. | (I’ve did not use this in the D7 version) |
DevConnect Limit API Product by Role (devconnect_apiproduct_access) | - | Enable the "Apigee Edge API product RBAC" submodule. | (I’ve did not use this in the D7 version) |
Developer Portal - Mint |
| ||
Apigee Company (apigee_company) |
| This is a feature we did not use in the D7 version. This feature enables Teams functionality. We desire to use this in the future D8 version (once the migration has completed successfully). I’m a little surprised they they kept this “Teams” functionality in a separate module when redesigning everything for D8. | |
DevConnect Monetization (devconnect_monetization) |
| (We do not use the monetization aspects. Nor do we plan to.) | |
DevConnect Monetization Base Recurring Payment (devconnect_mint_payment) | - | Custom code is required to configure a recurring Commerce payment provider. | (We do not use the monetization aspects. Nor do we plan to.) |
DevConnect Monetization Payment (devconnect_monetization_payment) | Enable the "Apigee Monetization Add Credit" submodule. | (We do not use the monetization aspects. Nor do we plan to.) | |
DevConnect Monetization Recurring Payment Worldpay (devconnect_mint_worldpay) | - | Any Drupal Commerce 2.x payment gateway may be used. | (We do not use the monetization aspects. Nor do we plan to.) |
Developer Portal - Profile |
| ||
Devconnect Blog (devconnect_blog) | The Developer Portal - Profile category of modules are used for the initial configuration of the D7P distribution. For D8P, the Kickstart distribution handles site configuration using Drupal configuration management. See Configuration Management for more details. | (We did not use this in the D7 version; nor do we plan to use it in D8.) | |
DevConnect blog content types (devconnect_blog_content_types) |
| (We did not use this in the D7 version; nor do we plan to use it in D8.) | |
Devconnect Content Creation Menu (devconnect_content_creation_menu) |
| (We did not use this in the D7 version; nor do we plan to use it in D8.) | |
Devconnect Context (devconnect_context) |
| (We did not use this in the D7 version; nor do we plan to use it in D8.) | |
Devconnect Default Structure (devconnect_default_structure) |
| (We did not use this in the D7 version; nor do we plan to use it in D8.) | |
Devconnect Homepage (devconnect_homepage) |
| (We did not use this in the D7 version; nor do we plan to use it in D8.) | |
Devconnect Views (devconnect_views) |
| (We did not use this in the D7 version; nor do we plan to use it in D8.) | |
Developer Portal - SmartDocs |
| ||
SmartDocs (smartdocs) |
| (We did not find this functionality easy to use; we replaced it with the swagger_ui_formatter module.) | |
SmartDocs Attachments (smartdocs_attachment) |
| (We did not find this functionality easy to use; we replaced it with the swagger_ui_formatter module.) | |
SmartDocs Errors (smartdocs_error) |
| (We did not find this functionality easy to use; we replaced it with the swagger_ui_formatter module.) | |
SmartDocs Parameters (smartdocs_parameter) |
| (We did not find this functionality easy to use; we replaced it with the swagger_ui_formatter module.) | |
Apigee |
| ||
Accounts.apigee.com login (apigee_account) | - | Choose an SSO module compatible with Drupal 8. | (We did not use this in the D7 version. We would like to use the CAS module in the D8 version. Which we will need to configure to work with UCSB’s CAS SSO.) |
Apigee Google Tag Manager (apigee_gtm) | - | Use Google Tag Manager instead. | (We did not use this in the D7 version) |
Apigee Site Status Checklist (apigee_checklist) | - | Site Status monitoring included in Drupal 8 Core. | (I’ve did not use this in the D7 version) |
Apigee SSO UI (apigee_sso_ui) | - | Choose an SSO module compatible with Drupal 8. | (I’ve did not use this in the D7 version) |
