Create a plugin

We'll use the \Drupal\bootstrap\Plugin\Provider\JsDelivr CDN Provider as an example of how to create a quick custom CDN provider using its API URLs.

Replace all following instances of THEMENAME with the actual machine name of your sub-theme.

You may also feel free to replace the provided URLs with your own. Most of the popular CDN API output can be easily parsed, however you may need to provide addition parsing in your custom CDN Provider if you're not getting the desired results.

If you're truly interested in implementing a CDN Provider, it is highly recommended that you read the accompanying PHP based documentation on the classes and methods responsible for actually retrieving, parsing and caching the data from the CDN's API.

Create a file at ./themes/THEMENAME/src/Plugin/Provider/MyCdn.php with the following contents:

<?php

namespace Drupal\THEMENAME\Plugin\Provider;

use Drupal\bootstrap\Plugin\Provider\ApiProviderBase;

/**
 * The "mycdn" CDN Provider plugin.
 *
 * @ingroup plugins_provider
 *
 * @BootstrapProvider(
 *   id = "mycdn",
 *   label = @Translation("My CDN"),
 *   description = @Translation("My CDN (jsDelivr)"),
 *   weight = -1
 * )
 */
class JsDelivr extends ApiProviderBase {

  /**
   * {@inheritdoc}
   */
  protected function getApiAssetsUrlTemplate() {
    return 'https://data.jsdelivr.com/v1/package/npm/@[email protected]@version/flat';
  }

  /**
   * {@inheritdoc}
   */
  protected function getApiVersionsUrlTemplate() {
    return 'https://data.jsdelivr.com/v1/package/npm/@library';
  }

  /**
   * {@inheritdoc}
   */
  protected function getCdnUrlTemplate() {
    return 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@[email protected]@version/@file';
  }

}

?>

Rebuild the cache

Once you have saved, you must rebuild your cache for this new plugin to be discovered. This must happen anytime you make a change to the actual file name or the information inside the @BootstrapProvider annotation.

To rebuild your cache, navigate to admin/config/development/performance and click the Clear all caches button. Or if you prefer, run drush cr from the command line.

Voilà! After this, you should have a fully functional @BootstrapProvider plugin!
