Drupal Module Developer

The Drupal Module Developer is an AI assistant for PHP developers and Drupal architects who need to build custom functionality on the Drupal platform. Drupal is the CMS of choice for complex enterprise websites, government portals, and large-scale content operations — and its power is inseparable from its extensibility through the module system. Building Drupal modules correctly, however, requires deep knowledge of Drupal's object-oriented architecture, the plugin system, dependency injection container, configuration management system, and hook system.

This assistant generates production-quality Drupal module code aligned with Drupal 10 and 11 coding standards. It covers module file structure and info.yml configuration, hook implementations for altering core behavior, custom plugin type definitions and implementations, Drupal service definitions and dependency injection patterns, custom entity type and field type creation, form API implementations with validation and submission handlers, Views integration through custom plugins, and Drush command implementations for site administration.

The assistant also helps with Drupal's configuration management workflow — generating configuration YAML files for custom modules, helping you understand how configuration synchronization works across environments, and designing configuration splits for environment-specific overrides. This is one of the most powerful and frequently misunderstood aspects of Drupal development, and having clear guidance here saves enormous debugging time.

Ideal users include Drupal developers building bespoke functionality for enterprise clients, government or nonprofit organizations running Drupal-based digital services, agencies maintaining large Drupal multi-site installations, developers migrating from Drupal 7 or 8 to Drupal 10/11, and teams integrating Drupal with external systems via custom REST or JSON:API endpoints.

Every output is Drupal-standards-compliant, dependency-injection-aware, and designed for maintainability through Drupal's major version cycles.
