React component libraries are helpful tools in creating stunning interfaces for react-based applications. Though each website component can be coded from the scratch, component libraries make the development process easier and faster to complete. It allows you to use the exact component in your design without going back to the drawing board. As a result, an efficient application can be developed in less time and cost. 

Chakra UI is a modern component-based library for building interfaces. It provides an accessible and reusable component-based architecture that makes it easy to create complex, responsive web applications. 

With its intuitive design system, Chakra UI helps react developers quickly build user interfaces that are accessible, responsive, and visually appealing. 

In this blog, we’ll learn the essentials of Chakra UI, and its importance in React web development, installation, and uses. 

What Is Chakra?

Developers and business owners are always looking for ways to develop quickly and efficiently and a great experience for our clients, and Chakra is a tool helping developers to achieve that. 

Chakra UI is a simple, modular and accessible component library that gives building blocks to build React application

According to their official website, Chakra UI is a simple, modular and accessible component library that gives you the building blocks you need to build your React applications. 
This component-based library helps build React apps with speed and boosts developer productivity.

Why Use Chakra?

Chakra is a modern and powerful component library for React that was designed and developed by Segun Adebayo a UX Engineer for developing front-end applications. It provides more components, improved styling API, and accessibility and easy-to-understand documentation that gives us guidelines on how to build reusable components and save time.

Chakra UI is customizable and reusable we can easily adjust it with our designs. It is very simple to use if you know how to use react components and this also supports ReactJs, along with some other libraries too.

Its components' names and the prop's names are easy to understand. It provides dark and light mode compatibility for developers to overcome contrast challenges. 

Chakra components

Chakra has a lot of prebuilt composable and reusable components. Its components are dark and light mode compatible so we can also create our own dark and light mode experience across our application with a little bit of configuration.

Let's take a look at some components of Chakra UI. 

Typography

Typography is the method of arranging font sizes, line spacing, letter spacing, line height, typeface, and other elements of text formatting to improve readability. It’s an important aspect of digital design and can greatly impact how readers engage with and understand written content.

Overlay

An overlay is a method to put something on top of such as an image or video, or text on top of another so that what is in the lower position can still be seen.

Feedback

Feedback refers to giving information about something that anyone has done which tells how good or bad it is.

Data display

Data display is a method to represent the data in a visual format, such as a chart, graph, or map, and make information easy to understand.

Navigation

Navigation refers to moving through a website or application, finding the information you need, and getting to the pages you want to visit.

Disclosure 

The act of revealing or making known information that was previously hidden,or making something known.

Form

A form is a document that contains spaces for users to input information It can be used for a variety of purposes, such as collecting contact information, applying for jobs or loans, and more.

Media & Icon

Media refers to various forms of content such as images, text, audio, and video that can be used to carry, entertain or inform.

Icon refers to the representation of the content this is small graphic images or symbols that are used to represent a specific function, feature, or content on a computer or mobile device.

Others

Uses of Chakra components

If we want to add default components of Chakra UI to the project we just have to copy its code and paste it into our project and we can see our effect on the browser. If we want to use some components we just have to import them from ‘@chakra-ui/react’.

import {
  Alert,
  AlertIcon,
  AlertTitle,
  AlertDescription,
} from '@chakra-ui/react'.

 
  Your browser is outdated!
  Your Chakra experience may be degraded.

Import like this and create the structure you want to make it very easy to use. 

Chakra Installation?

We can use npm, yarn, and pnpm for the installation of chakra and its dependencies.

After setting up our react projects we have to run this command.

npm
npm i @chakra-ui/react @emotion/react @emotion/styled framer-motion

//or
yarn
yarn add @chakra-ui/react @emotion/react @emotion/styled framer-motion

//or
pnpm
pnpm add @chakra-ui/react @emotion/react @emotion/styled framer-motion

After installation to get initialized, we need to set Chakra provider at the root of our application. This can be our index.js or App.js depending on the framework we use.

For React:

import React from "react"

// 1. import `ChakraProvider` component
import { ChakraProvider } from "@chakra-ui/react"

function App({ Component }) {
 // 2. Use at the root of your app
 return (
   
     
   
 )
}

Group 2.0.0-beta1 and 3.0.0-beta1 have recently been released, which boasts exciting new features and one of the notable changes was sponsored by ANNAI (as of 01/2023, the latest releases are 2.0.0-beta6 and 3.0.0-beta6 respectively). The reasons why two new versions were released, rather than one, is described below.

How do I create a route with a page callback in Drupal 10?

To create a route file with a page callback in Drupal, you can follow these steps:

Create a new file in your module’s src/Routing directory, named module_name.routing.yml. In this file, define your route using the YAML syntax. An example of a basic route might look like this:

The path key defines the URL path of the route, and the defaults key contains the page callback and page title for the route. In this example, the page callback is a method named examplePage in the ExampleController class of the module_name module.

Clear Drupal cache so the new route can be picked up by the system.

That’s it! The new route should now be accessible at the URL /example and will use the specified page callback method. You can also pass a parameter in the path, for example path: ‘/example/{parameter}’ and use it in the controller with $parameter = $route->getparameter(‘parameter’)

How do I debug a Drupal 10 routing file?

There are several ways to debug a routing file in Drupal 10, here are some examples:

Use the Devel module: The Devel module is a popular development tool for Drupal, it provides a suite of debugging tools, including the ability to view the routing information for your site. To enable this feature, you need to install and activate the Devel module, and then navigate to the “Devel” -> “Routes” page to view the routing information for your site.

Use the Drupal Console: The Drupal Console is a command-line interface for Drupal that provides a variety of debugging tools. To use the Drupal Console to debug your routing file, you can use the command drupal router:debug to view the routing information for your site.

Use the dpm() function: The dpm() function is a debugging function provided by the Devel module that allows you to print variables to the message area of the page. By adding dpm($routes) to the routing file, you can see the array of all routes.

Use the kint() function: The kint() function is also a debugging function provided by the Devel module that allows you to print variables to the message area of the page, but with more information than dpm(). By adding kint($routes) to the routing file, you can see the array of all routes and more information about the routes.

Use the browser developer tools: By using browser developer tools, you can see all the requests made by the browser and check if the routing file is working correctly.

It’s important to remember that you should only use these debugging tools during development and remove them before deploying to a production environment, as they can expose sensitive information about your site.

How do I make my route higher priority in Drupal 10

In Drupal 10, you can make a route have a higher priority than others by setting a higher weight for the route in the routing file. Here’s an example of how to do this:

In your routing file, you can set the weight property for your route. The weight property is used to determine the order of the routes. Routes with a higher weight will be matched first.

The default weight is 0. If you want your route to have a higher priority, you can set a higher weight. In the example above, the weight is set to 10, which makes it have a higher priority than any other route with a lower weight.

Keep in mind that if you have multiple routes with the same weight, the order in which they are defined in the routing file will determine which route is matched first.

Clear the cache after making any changes in routing file.

By setting a higher weight for your route, you can ensure that it is matched before any other routes with a lower weight. This can be useful if you have multiple routes that match the same path and you want to ensure that a specific route is always matched first.

And there you have it folks, you’re now a pro at creating custom routes and debugging like a boss in Drupal. Just remember, if you ever get stuck, don’t hesitate to call upon the almighty Drupal gods for guidance… or just Google it. Happy routing!

If you are involved in the Drupal community in any way, DrupalCon is a great way to become more connected. From the sessions and training opportunities to the community networking and sponsor parties, there are many ways to enjoy your experience at the event. In this blog, I’ll highlight my top 5 reasons for attending DrupalCon Pittsburgh in 2023!

1. The Experience
The DrupalCon experience is something that everyone who has gone to a DrupalCon knows well – a full week of excitement dedicated to Drupal and the Drupal Community. Connecting with the best and brightest minds in the community to talk shop, build friendships, and have a great time. Some key highlights of the event are:

• Driesnote!
• Community Summit!
• Sponsor Swag & Events!
• High Impact Contribution!
• Trivia Night!

2. The Community
After the last few years of lockdown, it is great to get out of the office and connect with a group of people that are passionate about Drupal. The opportunity to connect with others who share a common interest and meet many of the people behind the usernames of my favorite modules is an awesome break from the day to day.

3. The Learning Opportunities
The opportunities to learn at DrupalCon are far greater than any other venue available today. From the keynotes and sessions to the live training and contribution sprints, DrupalCon is the one place where you can break away from your current bubble and experience all that Drupal has to offer.

4. The Inspiration
Learning from others and seeing the impact that Drupal has in the world shows how innovative and talented the Drupal community is. Everyone attending the conference is focused and engaged on how to:

• Build the best content management systems
• Deliver the most innovative customer experience
• Master their craft

5. The Networking
Connecting with a group of people who are equally as passionate about Drupal, open-source, and delivering the best digital experiences in the world is not an opportunity that presents itself every day. Taking the opportunity to meet new people and build relationships can go a long way in your career.

There are so many reasons to attend DrupalCon Pittsburgh 2023, and I can’t wait! I look forward to the opportunity to connect with the community, hear about the amazing work that is happening with Drupal and enjoy time with friends and colleagues from all over the world who have been brought together by a common passion. I look forward to seeing you there!

The Media Library module does not properly check entity access in some circumstances. This may result in users with access to edit content seeing metadata about media items they are not authorized to access.

The vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that the inaccessible media will only be visible to users who can already edit content that includes a media reference field.

This advisory is not covered by Drupal Steward.

Install the latest version:

• If you are using Drupal 10.0, update to Drupal 10.0.2.
• If you are using Drupal 9.5, update to Drupal 9.5.2.
• If you are using Drupal 9.4, update to Drupal 9.4.10.

All versions of Drupal 9 prior to 9.4.x are end-of-life and do not receive security coverage. Note that Drupal 8 has reached its end of life.

Drupal 7 core does not include the Media Library module and therefore is not affected.

It was a busy year for Drupal Events in 2022, so fast that we completely lost track of time. This year we saw a broad return to in-person Drupal Camps, hundreds of meetups, and dozens of events around the globe for the release of Drupal 10. The Event Organizer Working Group continues to work to support event organizers, to provide resources, and to provide avenues for collaboration among organizers.

We’ve had three primary initiatives this year: Drupal.org Community Events, the Events Platform, and some self-care marketing the EOWG. In addition we piloted a new Camp Debriefs concept and a whole lot more.

Drupal.org/community/events

Launched in 2020, the Drupal Community Events page is intended to serve as a consolidated listing of Drupal events across the world to facilitate promotion, encourage collaboration, and give the community more data about what’s happening in the space.

In 2022 over 200 events were posted to the Community Events listing:

• 126 Local meetups
• 58 Trainings
• 27 Drupal Camps
• 14 (standalone) Contribution Events (see a discussion of this tag)
• 2 DrupalFests
• 2 DrupalCons

Additionally, lots of work was done on Drupal.org to use this data - community events now show on user profiles and organization pages. A more in-depth events view helps organizers with planning future events. Check out the full issue details along with what’s to come.

We’d like to send a huge #DrupalThanks to the Drupal Association and especially Caleb Crawley (crawleyhost) for all of his hard work in making these changes possible.

Event Platform

The Event Platform took the rich set of capabilities built for the Florida DrupalCamp website in 2022, and abstracted it to make it more easily used by any event organizer, including those who may be new to Drupal. This includes using tokens in default messaging (including emails to users who proposed sessions) so that, as much as possible, an event organizer can install the Event Platform and start using it with a minimum of effort.

Read more details about their releases in 2022 and check out the project.

Marketing the EOWG

The EOWG worked to improve how we raise awareness about the group and communicate with event organizers in 2022. We updated the monthly newsletter design and content structure to not only promote upcoming EOWG meetings, but also camps and contribution events posted to Drupal.org. If you have an upcoming event be sure to post it on drupal.org/community/events so it can be pulled in by the EOWG and others.

In April the EOWG and other initiatives were given booth space for a day at DrupalCon Portland. This allowed us to meet with organizers face-to-face, as well as promote some of the relevant sessions and BoFs. The sessions and BoFs were well attended and great conversations were had. We’re looking forward to DrupalCon Pittsburgh in 2023 and more about our plans will be posted as we get closer to the event.

Lastly, over the course of the year we discussed how we could make the EOWG open meetings more inclusive and accessible to potential participants. After a pilot of quarterly Slack discussions, we decided late in the year that this should be the primary method for checking in and chatting with event organizers. Along with this we also moved off the stand-alone Slack instance to the main Drupal Slack in the #event-organizers channel. We are hopeful that this change will increase the visibility of the EOWG and help us to better engage with the larger community by making it one less Slack instance for organizers to log into.

Elections

Our board usually elects positions in October but we are a little delayed this year. Nominations for board seats are now open. We encourage all event organizers to apply.

The board is composed of elected and appointed members and this year's slate will be appointed. The issue will be open for nominations until 31 January, 2023 at which time the Board will discuss the nominations. If possible we will invite newly appointed members to the meeting on February 7, if more discussion is required then appointed members will be notified after the February 7 meeting.

My wife owns her custom cookie shop, which sells decorated sugar cookies. On top of her regular custom orders, she does special cookies and cookie sets for each holiday. Recently she moved from PayPal to Square for her invoicing to leverage their more extensive offering of tools to merchants. We were also hoping Square could simplify sales for these limited-quality holiday sets (tracking first come, first serve and inventory via Facebook messages and comments is a nightmare.) In this blog post, I will run through my decisions and how I did them. If you're curious about these details, feel free to reach out!
