1- Admin Toolbar
The Admin Toolbar module intends to improve the default Toolbar (the administration menu at the top of your site) to transform it into a drop-down menu, providing a fast access to all administration pages.
The module works on the top of the default toolbar core module and is therefore a light module and keeps all the toolbar functionalities (shortcut / media responsive).
2- Token
Provides additional tokens not supported by core (most notably fields), as well as a UI for browsing tokens.
Example:
Site Information: name,login_url,email,slogan etc
Required Module for pathauto, google Analytics etc.
3- Chaos Tool Suite (ctools)
This suite is primarily a set of APIs and tools to improve the developer experience. It also contains a module called the Page Manager whose job is to manage pages. In particular it manages panel pages, but as it grows it will be able to manage far more than just Panels.
For the moment, it includes the following tools:
Plugins -- tools to make it easy for modules to let other modules implement plugins from .inc files.
Exportables -- tools to make it easier for modules to have objects that live in database or live in code, such as 'default views'.
AJAX responder -- tools to make it easier for the server to handle AJAX requests and tell the client what to do with them.
Form tools -- tools to make it easier for forms to deal with AJAX.
Object caching -- tool to make it easier to edit an object across multiple page requests and cache the editing work.
Contexts -- the notion of wrapping objects in a unified wrapper and providing an API to create and accept these contexts as input.
Modal dialog -- tool to make it simple to put a form in a modal dialog.
Dependent -- a simple form widget to make form items appear and disappear based upon the selections in another item.
Content -- pluggable content types used as panes in Panels and other modules like Dashboard.
Form wizard -- an API to make multi-step forms much easier.
CSS tools -- tools to cache and sanitize CSS easily to make user-input CSS safe.
4- Devel
Devel module contains helper functions and pages for Drupal developers and
inquisitive admins:
A block and toolbar for quickly accessing devel pages
Debug functions for inspecting a variable such as dpm($variable)
Debug a SQL query dpq($query or print a backtrace ddebug_backtrace()
A block for masquerading as other users (useful for testing)
A mail-system class which redirects outbound email to files
Drush commands such as fn-hook, fn-event, token, uuid, and devel-services
Webprofiler. Adds a debug bar at bottom of all pages with tons of useful
information like a query list, cache hit/miss data, memory profiling, page
speed, php info, session info, etc.
Devel Generate. Bulk creates nodes, users, comment, taxonomy, media, menus for development. Has
Drush integration.
This module is safe to use on a production site. Just be sure to only grant
access development information permission to developers.
5- Pathauto
The Pathauto module automatically generates URL/path aliases for various kinds of content (nodes, taxonomy terms, users) without requiring the user to manually specify the path alias. This allows you to have URL aliases like /category/my-node-title instead of /node/123. The aliases are based upon a "pattern" system that uses tokens which the administrator can change.
6- Paragraphs
Paragraphs is the new way of content creation!
It allows you — Site Builders — to make things cleaner so that you can give more editing power to your end-users.
Instead of putting all their content in one WYSIWYG body field including images and videos, end-users can now choose on-the-fly between pre-defined Paragraph Types independent from one another. Paragraph Types can be anything you want from a simple text block or image to a complex and configurable slideshow.
Paragraphs module comes with a new "paragraphs" field type that works like Entity Reference's. Simply add a new paragraphs field on any Content Type you want and choose which Paragraph Types should be available to end-users. They can then add as many Paragraph items as you allowed them to and reorder them at will.
Paragraphs module does not come with any default Paragraph Types but since they are basic Drupal Entities you can have complete control over what fields they should be composed of and what they should look like through the typical Drupal Manage Fields and Manage Display screens.
You can also add custom option fields and do conditional coding in your CSS, JS and preprocess functions so that end-users can have more control over the look and feel of each item. This is way much cleaner and stable than adding inline CSS or classes inside the body field's source.
Some more examples:
Add a block of text with an image left to it
Add a slideshow between blocks of text
Add a youtube embed between your text
Add quotes between your content blocks
7- Redirect
Provides the ability to create manual redirects and maintain a canonical URL for all content, redirecting all other requests to that path.
This module provides a common API for loading, deleting, and saving redirects. It also provides case-sensitive redirect matching with a hook to allow the other modules to decrease the candidate redirects.
8- Twig Tweak
Twig Tweak is a small module which provides a Twig extension with some useful functions and filters that can improve development experience.
Drupal View
{{ drupal_view('whos-s_new','block_1')}}
Drupal View Result
{{ drupal_view_result('who_s_new','block_1')}}
9- Webform
The Webform module allows you to build any type of form to collect any type of data, which can be submitted to any application or system.
Every single behavior and aspect of your forms and their inputs are customizable. Whether you need a multi-page form containing a multi-column input layout with conditional logic or a simple contact form that pushes data to a SalesForce/CRM, it is all possible using the Webform module for Drupal 8/9.
10-Backup and Migrate
Back up and restore your Drupal MySQL database, code, and files or migrate a site between environments. Backup and Migrate supports gzip, bzip and zip compression as well as automatic scheduled backups.
With Backup and Migrate you can dump some or all of your database tables to a file download or save to a file on the server or offsite, and to restore from an uploaded or previously saved database dump. You can choose which tables and what data to backup and cache data is excluded by default.
11-Advanced CSS/JS Aggregation
AdvAgg allows you to improve the frontend performance of your site. Be sure to do a before and after comparison by using Google's PageSpeed Insights and WebPagetest.org. The performance benefits are achieved by using some of the features found in AdvAgg and its sub modules. Out of the box AdvAgg's frontend performance will be similar to cores.
13- Diff, Shield & Socket
Diff
This module adds a tab for sufficiently permissioned users. The tab shows all revisions like standard Drupal but it also allows pretty viewing of all added/changed/deleted words between revisions.
Shield
PHP Authentication shield. It creates a simple shield for the site with Apache authentication. It hides the sites, if the user does not know a simple username/password. It handles Drupal as a "walled garden".
This module helps you to protect your (dev) site with HTTP authentication.
Socket
SecKit provides Drupal with various security-hardening options. This lets your mitigate the risks of exploitation of different web application vulnerabilities.
Cross-site Scripting
Content Security Policy implementation via Сontent-Security-Policy (official name), X-Content-Security-Policy (Firefox and IE) and X-WebKit-CSP (Chrome and Safari) HTTP response headers (configuration page and reporting CSP violations to watchdog)
Control over Internet Explorer / Apple Safari / Google Chrome internal XSS filter via X-XSS-Protection HTTP response header
14- Environment Indicator
This module will help you to keep sane while working on your different environments by adding a configurable color bar to each one of your environments. The Environment Indicator adds a coloured bar on the site informing you which environment you're currently in (Development, Staging, Production, etc.). This is incredibly useful if you have multiple environments for each of your sites, and like me, are prone to forgetting which version of the site you are currently looking at.
This module can help you avoid making configuration changes to your live server by mistake by adding a coloured strip to the side of your site, clearly marking each version of the site.
15- Configuration Split
This module allows to define sets of configuration that will get exported to separate directories when exporting, and get merged together when importing. It is possible to define in settings.php which of these sets should be active and considered for the export and import.
