Drupal 8 For Absolute Beginners
Check out the Drupal 8 book written by barnettech and web tech kitchen and is published by Apress Media. The book is now available on Amazon.com and in bookstores (possibly if there are any old school bookstores left selling technology books) http://amzn.to/1FDe3mZ
Here's the official write up advertising the book, screenshot at the bottom of this post:
Configuration import issues: Configuration depends on
Example problem: Configuration bootstrap_sass_starterkit.settings depends on the bootstrap_sass_starterkit extension that will not be installed after import.
Solution: delete the bootstrap_sass_starterkit.settings.yml file from the config/sync directory

Order of media queries
CSS media queries lower px below higher or it doesn't catch it correctly in the cascade.
font size as a percent of the view port
h1 {
font-size: 5.9vw;
}
h2 {
font-size: 3.0vh;
}
p {
font-size: 2vmin;
}
Positioning text within a parent div
For a document that looks like this:
This paragraph…
the style sheet looks like this:
div.container3 {
height: 10em;
position: relative } /* 1 */
div.container3 p {
margin: 0;
position: absolute; /* 2 */
top: 50%; /* 3 */
transform: translate(0, -50%) } /* 4 */
The essential rules are:
Jquery in Drupal 8 and creating your own paragraph slideshow component
(function ($, Drupal) {
Drupal.behaviors.myModuleBehavior = {
attach: function (context, settings) {
$(window).once().on('load scroll', function () {
// ...
$('.your-class').slick({
dots: true,
infinite: true,
speed: 500,
fade: true,
cssEase: 'linear'
});
});
}
};
})(jQuery, Drupal);
Stage file proxy
https://www.drupal.org/project/stage_file_proxy
useful:
Stage File Proxy is a general solution for getting production files on a development server on demand. It saves you time and disk space by sending requests to your development environment's files directory to the production environment and making a copy of the production file in your development site. You should not need to enable this module in production.
Useful docker commands
docker-compose exec php drush @bh status
sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder
Docker system prune —all
