Drupal 8 - raw SQL queries for debugging
/** @var \Drupal\Core\Database\Query\SelectExtender $query */
echo $query->__toString();
var_dump($query->getArguments());

 

CSS - Typical Device Breakpoints
 /* Extra small devices (phones, 600px and down) */
  @media only screen and (max-width: 600px) {
  }

  /* Small devices (portrait tablets and large phones, 600px and up) */
  @media only screen and (min-width: 600px) {
  }

  /* Medium devices (landscape tablets, 768px and up) */
  @media only screen and (min-width: 768px) {
  }

  /* Large devices (laptops/desktops, 992px and up) */
  @media only screen and (min-width: 992px) {
  }

  /* Extra large devices (large laptops and desktops, 1200px and up) */
  @media only screen and (min-width: 1200px) {
  }

 

Valid URL from Link field into a Twig template
{#  it will work either external or internal link #}
{{ node.field_image_link.get(0).getUrl().toString() }}

 

Drupal 8 - The following module is missing from the file system... hotfix
drush sql-query "DELETE FROM key_value WHERE collection='system.schema' AND name='module_name';"

source: https://www.drupal.org/node/2487215

Drupal 8 - Country name list by code
/** @var array $countries */
$countries = \Drupal::service('country_manager')
  ->getList();
// Transform TranslatableMarkup object into a string.
array_walk($countries, function (&$translation) {
  /** @var  Drupal\Core\StringTranslation\TranslatableMarkup $translation */
  $translation = $translation->render();
});
var_dump($countries);

Drupal 8 ships with a service to easily retrieve all countries by code. Be sure to use dependency injection.

Drupal 8 - Remove configuration from database
drush ev "\Drupal::configFactory()->getEditable('configuration.name')->delete();"

 

RuntimeException: Unable to determine class for field type found in the configuration
drush sqlq "DELETE FROM cache_config"
drush sqlq "DELETE FROM config WHERE name = 'field.storage.<module_name>.<field_machine_name>' OR data LIKE '%field.storage.<module_name>.<field_machine_name>%'"
drush sqlq "DELETE FROM config_snapshot  WHERE name = 'field.storage.<module_name>.<field_machine_name>' OR data LIKE '%field.storage.<module_name>.<field_machine_name>%'"

On my case It was happening with "taxonomy_term" module and field named "field_location".

Drupal 8 - Load file entity by URI
/* @var \Drupal\file\FileInterface[] $files */
$files = \Drupal::entityTypeManager()
  ->getStorage('file')
  ->loadByProperties(['uri' => $uri]);

 

Drupal 8 fix-permissions.sh

Script:

#!/bin/bash

# Help menu
print_help() {
cat <<-HELP
This script is used to fix permissions of a Drupal installation
you need to provide the following arguments:

  1) Path to your Drupal installation.
  2) Username of the user that you want to give files/directories ownership.
  3) HTTPD group name (defaults to www-data for Apache).

Usage: (sudo) bash ${0##*/} --drupal_path=PATH --drupal_user=USER --httpd_group=GROUP
Example: (sudo) bash ${0##*/} --drupal_path=/usr/local/apache2/htdocs --drupal_user=john --httpd_group=www-data
HELP
exit 0

if [ $(id -u) != 0 ]; then

Usage: 

sudo fix-permissions.sh \
--drupal_path=/path/to/the/drupal/install \
--drupal_user=your_desired_user
