What I Did
- groups.drupal.org
- @font-your-face
What I Do Now
- Config in Code
- (Parenting)
Opinions are Cool!
1. Config is ... Everything
Saved Decisions
2. Config is not Interface
Fields are not Fields UI
Views are not Views UI
3. Interface is Important
Laziness is a Virtue
The Dark Ages

3. Interface is Important
Core Interfaces are for Everyone
You're not Everyone
Custom Interfaces are Hard, Right?
No, Not Anymore
\Drupal::service('config.factory')->getEditable('node.type.page')
->set('type', 'page')
->set('name', 'Basic page')
->set('description', 'Use basic pages for your static content, such as an ''About us'' page.')
->save();Easy!
Config in Code
(CINC)
drupal.org/project/cinc
CINC::init(‘ContentType’)->machine_name('page')
->set('name', 'Basic page')
->set('description', 'Use basic pages for your static content, such as an ''About us'' page.')
->create();Easier!
$text_field = CINC::init('TextField')->machine_name('field_text')
->create();
CINC::init(‘ContentType’)->machine_name('page')
->add_field($text_field);Easiest!
