Initial implementation

>>> [!note] Migrated issue   Reported by: [anybody](https://www.drupal.org/user/291091) >>> I gave my ideas and requirements to AI to write a task which could proabably be used to create the module basic implementation using AI and improve it then: --- # Task Description: Implement `username_suggester` Drupal 11 Module ## Overview We need to implement a new Drupal 11 module called **`username_suggester`**. The module provides a **plugin architecture** for generating suggested usernames during user registration. It must integrate seamlessly with Drupal’s plugin system, configuration management, and form APIs. ## Requirements ### 1. Module Structure - Create a new custom module: `username_suggester`. - Provide standard Drupal 11 module files: - `username_suggester.info.yml` - `username_suggester.services.yml` - `username_suggester.routing.yml` - `username_suggester.links.menu.yml` - `username_suggester.links.action.yml` - `username_suggester.permissions.yml` (if needed for configuration access) ### 2. Plugin Architecture - Define a **Plugin Type**: `UsernameSuggesterPlugin`. - Base interface: `UsernameSuggesterInterface` with a method `public function suggest(string $email): string;`. - Base class: `UsernameSuggesterBase` providing default behaviors. - Plugins must be discoverable via Drupal’s plugin manager system. - Allow other modules to provide additional `UsernameSuggester` plugins. ### 3. Default Plugins Implement the following plugins: #### a. `username_suggester_email_localpart` - Suggests a username based on the **local part of the email address** (everything before `@`). - Example: `<a href="mailto:john.doe@example.com">john.doe@example.com</a>` → suggested username: `john.doe`. - Integrates with the **Drupal Libraries API** to attach a JavaScript file to the **user registration form**. - The JS should: - Listen for input in the email field. - Automatically populate the username field with the suggested value. #### b. `username_suggester_email_localpart_suffix` - Extends `username_suggester_email_localpart`. - Appends the **current month (without leading zero)** and **current year** to the suggestion. - Example: `<a href="mailto:john.doe@example.com">john.doe@example.com</a>` in December 2025 → suggested username: `john.doe122025`. ### 4. Configuration UI - Provide a **settings page** under Drupal’s admin configuration (`/admin/config/people/username-suggester`). - Use Drupal’s **ConfigFormBase** to implement the form. - Allow administrators to: - Select the active `UsernameSuggester` plugin from a dropdown list. - Save the configuration to Drupal’s config system (`username_suggester.settings`). ### 5. Form Integration - Alter the **user registration form** (`user_register_form`): - Load the active plugin from configuration. - Attach the plugin’s library (JS). - Ensure the username field is auto‑suggested based on the plugin logic. ### 6. Libraries - Define libraries in `username_suggester.libraries.yml`. - Example: ```yaml email_localpart: js: js/email_localpart.js: {} dependencies: - core/drupal - core/jquery ``` - Ensure the JS is properly scoped and does not conflict with other modules. ### 7. Extensibility - Document how other modules can provide additional `UsernameSuggester` plugins. - Ensure plugin discovery works via annotation (`@UsernameSuggester`). --- ## Deliverables 1. Fully functional `username_suggester` module with: - Plugin system - Default plugins (`email_localpart`, `email_localpart_suffix`) - Configuration UI - Form integration - Libraries and JS functionality 2. Example usage: - User enters `<a href="mailto:alice@example.com">alice@example.com</a>` → username field auto‑suggests `alice`. - With suffix plugin active → username field auto‑suggests `alice122025`.
