  • entity_browser: Doesn't do much without configuration. media_entity_browser is basically a configured version of this for browsing images, videos, etc. Might be better to do manually as it can integrate with inline_entity_form
  • contact_storage: Aims to bring Drupal's core contact form module towards D7's webform and entityform modules
  • restui: Useful when using the REST API to exposed endpoints, but can be done in views instead.
  • webform: Look to replace with core's contact_form when it has features like multi-page support, email / handlers (user selectable, ideal for CRM), etc.
  • inline_entity_form: For creating and editing entities on the same page.

Upgrade Ansible on MacOS

Install Xcode and possibley Command Line Tools also to install compliers needed.

MacOS needs pip resources for the system, as such it's best to ignore upgrading these on the whole system with --ignore-installed:

sudo pip install --ignore-installed --upgrade ansible
