Cumulative Drupal 9 Compatibility Patches.
Cumulative Drupal 9 Compatibility Patches.
This MR combines the Drupal 9 compatibility patch from:
https://www.drupal.org/project/ms_ajax_form_example/issues/3117909#comment-13752939
with a patch to the core_version_requirement in info.yml allowing the module to be installed on Drupal 9.
It is useful to have an issue fork for Drupal 9 compatibility, rather than simply a patch, because:
In short, you can't use a patch to tell Composer that a Drupal 8 module is compatible with Drupal 9.

Adding Issue Fork as a Composer repository:
To use this issue fork as a transitional D9-compatible package in your project, modify your composer.json:
"repositories": {
"drupal/ms_ajax_form_example": {
"type": "vcs",
"url": "https://git.drupalcode.org/issue/ms_ajax_form_example-3117909"
},
"drupal": {
"type": "composer",
"url": "https://packages.drupal.org/8",
"exclude": ["drupal/ms_ajax_form_example"]
},Requiring the patched package from the Issue Fork:
Execute the following command in a terminal:
$ composer require drupal/ms_ajax_form_example:dev-3117909-call-to-deprecatedor manually add the requirement to composer.json:
"require": {
"drupal/ms_ajax_form_example": "dev-3117909-call-to-deprecated",Credit due, mainly, to Benji Fisher via: https://www.drupal.org/project/views_url_alias/issues/3142138#comment-14177409

I have a lot of packages to update in order to make this project compatible with Drupal 9, and I can't spend too much time on any one of them, so I'll need to circle back to this module in a few days.
