If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

Development Notes

Adding New Components

To add additional configurable blocks for other UMD Libraries Design System components:

  1. Create a new block plugin in src/Plugin/Block/
  2. Add a new autocomplete controller method for searching relevant content
  3. Define routing for the autocomplete endpoint
  4. Create a Twig template for rendering the component
  5. Register the template in hook_theme() in the .module file

Caching

The block implements proper caching using the #cache property with the selected node's cache tags. This ensures that the block is invalidated whenever the Person node is updated.

Troubleshooting

Block not showing content

Autocomplete not working

Component not rendering
