Plan for Easy Social 8.x-3.0 for Drupal 9

I've been doing some initial work on a Drupal 8 version of Easy Social and we're finally at a point where I've released a first alpha version. Please help test it and open issues as usual!

What's working

• Re-written from scratch using new config management system
• Widgets use theme system for rendering (ie much easier to alter now)
• Provide an example module demonstrating how to create a custom widget
• Pinterest share widget included by default

What's not working yet

• Allow multiple Easy Social blocks
• Allow overriding config per block
• Provide a pseudo-field for attaching to all entities
• Allow overriding config per entity type
• Allow overriding config per individual entity
• Allow re-ordering the widgets

What's on the radar

• Allow creating groups of widgets, with overidden configs

UPDATED: So this is broken with newer Drupal alphas but the APIs are generally stable enough to resume work on it. I've also been tinkering around with the new Services API and I think it'd be really cool to define an EasySocial plugin service so that each widget is implemented as its own plugin and can have full control over how it's configured & displayed.

UPDATED - 6/5/17: I am taking a look and will probably do a rewrite in the 8.x-4.x branch, here are the main ideas:

• Make widgets a configurable plugin
• Create default blocks: Share, follow, visit that use the corresponding widgets

For the future

• Config interface
• Add basic widgets from the Admin UI
