I’m trying to make my tooling work as well as it can for me. This post is me documenting my configuration for working with PhpStorm on a Emulsify Drupal project. Your *.stories.js will be annoyingly underlined red unless you set the JavaScript language version to ECMAScript 6. Set the webpack configuration file to the webpack.dev.js […]

Serving files from a local CORS server for local development
Googling around, I found an awesome little script that allows you to transform python’s SimpleHTTPServer into a CORS enabled server. I copied the above gist into a folder, then within that made a “data” folder where I put CSVs and JSON files for local projects I’m working on. My CORS server file structure. Now, when […]
Deploying Eleventy to a S3 bucket using AWS CodeBuild
It’s no secret that I love automation and making my job more efficient. Netlify has been a game changer for deploying web apps and static sites.

Eleventy syntax highlighting HTML
I’m currently in the process of moving my beloved WordPress blog over to Eleventy and it’s been a really awesome opportunity to learn some new things.

Is it bad practice to print fields that will use Drupal WYSIWYG in Pattern Lab using |raw?
Probably. This is a question I recently asked in the Drupaltwig Slack #pattern-lab channel. Some background: I recently had a situation where I had a “Page introduction” component. This component has 1 field, and it’s a WYSIWYG field, which means it needs to print HTML. Here is the structure of my component: page-introduction |- page-introduction.twig […]
