This module provides a simple, user-friendly solution for protecting documents while collecting user information via webforms.

    Thank you for applying!

    Please read Review process for security advisory coverage: What to expect โ†’ for more details and Security advisory coverage application checklist โ†’ to understand what reviewers look for. Tips for ensuring a smooth review โ†’ gives some hints for a smoother review.

    The important notes are the following.

    • If you have not done it yet, you should enable GitLab CI for the project and fix the PHP_CodeSniffer errors/warnings it reports.
    • For the time this application is open, only your commits are allowed.
    • The purpose of this application is giving you a new drupal.org role that allows you to opt projects into security advisory coverage, either projects you already created, or projects you will create. The project status will not be changed by this application; once this application is closed, you will be able to change the project status from Not covered to Opt into security advisory coverage. This is possible only 14 days after the project is created.

      Keep in mind that once the project is opted into security advisory coverage, only Security Team members may change coverage.
    • Only the person who created the application will get the permission to opt projects into security advisory coverage. No other person will get the same permission from the same application; that applies also to co-maintainers/maintainers of the project used for the application.
    • We only accept an application per user. If you change your mind about the project to use for this application, or it is necessary to use a different project for the application, please update the issue summary with the link to the correct project and the issue title with the project name and the branch to review.

    To the reviewers

    Please read How to review security advisory coverage applications โ†’ , Application workflow โ†’ , What to cover in an application review โ†’ , and Tools to use for reviews โ†’ .

    The important notes are the following.

    • It is preferable to wait for a project moderator before posting the first comment on newly created applications. Project moderators will do some preliminary checks that are necessary before any change on the project files is suggested.
    • Reviewers should show the output of a CLI tool โ†’ only once per application.
    • It may be best to have the applicant fix things before further review.

    For new reviewers, I would also suggest to first read In which way the issue queue for coverage applications is different from other project queues โ†’ .

    Remember to change status, when the project is ready to be reviewed. In this queue, projects are only reviewed when the status is Needs review.

    I have implemented the required update in my module. Please have a look.

    FILE: src/Controller/FileDownloadController.php

      /**
       * The entity type manager.
       *
       * @var \Drupal\Core\Entity\EntityTypeManagerInterface
       */
      protected $entityTypeManager;

    The parent class already has properties and methods for the entity type manager object. There is no need to redefine properties for the same purpose; instead, the parent class methods should be used.

      /**
       * The controller constructor.
       */
      public function __construct(

    The documentation comment for constructors is not mandatory anymore, If it is given, the description must be โ€œConstructs a new [class name] objectโ€, where [class name] includes the class namespace.

    Hi Vishal

    I've addressed the feedback in src/Controller/FileDownloadController.php:

    Removed the redundant $entityTypeManager property and its injection via the constructor, as this is already available through ControllerBase::entityTypeManager().

    Updated the constructor docblock to align with Drupal coding standards. The description now correctly reads:
    Constructs a new FileDownloadController.

    Rest looks fine to me.

    Letโ€™s wait for a Code Review Administrator to take a look and if everything goes fine, you will get the role.
