Is the form on the 'Miscellaneous' tab in Module Builder getting too big? Should some of it be moved to another form, and what would be a logical split? How about moving services, service providers, and events to a 'Services & events' tab? Or theme hooks and libraries to a 'Theming' tab? https://drupal-code-builder.github.io/module-builder-docs/sections/misc/ #Drupal
Miscellaneous form

Miscellaneous form# The Miscellaneous tab lets you various components, including: Services Event subscribers Events Permissions Theme hooks Libraries Drush commands Services# Services are classes which provide some sort of API, and which are obtained from the service container. Click ‘Add a services item’. This adds a form section for the service. Optionally, select a service type. This adds a service tag to your service, and makes your service implement a particular API, and the service will typically be collected by another service and its methods called by the collector.

Module Builder# Module Builder is a Drupal module which creates code for Drupal modules. Module Builder provides an interface in your Drupal site’s admin area, which guides you through a series of forms to set the components for your module and their options, and then write the code files. You can write a new module from scratch, or add components to an existing module. The options for your module are stored in Drupal configuration, as a config entity, so you can return to your module’s options and add or change things, and then re-generate the updated parts of the code.

New release of Module Builder, 4.2.2, adds a UX improvement: when you click a button to add a new item, the page scrolls up to the new form element. Module Builder's forms can get big and complex if you add a lot of components, so this makes it easier to understand what's changed. #Drupal

Module Builder

A module which auto-generates a skeleton or "scaffolding" for a module, along with hints on how to fill them in. Useful for newbie developers to learn how Drupal code works, and seasoned developers who are too lazy to look up what arguments a function has to take.

The new release of #Drupal Code Builder, 4.5.7, adds the ability to add a custom class to a generated YAML plugin. For example, you might want a menu link plugin which has special dynamic behaviour. And as with most classes generated by Drupal Code Builder, you can also specify which services to inject.

The new release of #Drupal Code Builder, 4.5.5, can handle aliasing class imports that have the same short name. This has been a problem for generating constraint plugins since the move to plugin attributes, because both the plugin base class and the attribute class are called 'Constraint'!
