Get default langcode from entity

my_module.module
// Assume $entity is your translatable entity object.
$default_language_entity = $entity->getUntranslated();
$default_language_code = $default_language_entity->language()->getId();

Issue:

You want to find the source language of an entity programmatically (e.g. its default language).

Solution:

Use the snippet provided. The entity will be loaded "untranslated", then its default language will be loaded.

module
language
translation

Replace Tagify CDN-loaded contrib library with a local npm asset in Drupal

install_libraries_locally.sh
composer require npm-asset/yaireo--tagify:4.35.4
my_module.module
/**
 * Implements hook_library_info_alter().
 *
 * The tagify module loads Tagify from cdnjs.cloudflare.com. Serve it from
 * npm-asset/yaireo--tagify in /libraries instead, so no request reaches a
 * third party and the widget keeps working behind restrictive firewalls.
 */
function my_module_library_info_alter(array &$libraries, string $extension): void {
  if ($extension !== 'tagify') {
    return;
  }

  // Assigning replaces the CDN entries. The npm package ships an unminified
  // UMD build and no *.min.css; Drupal aggregates them either way.
  $libraries['tagify']['js'] = [

Filter user entity reference field options to active users only

Option 1 (recommended): custom entity reference selection handler. Further options down below.

ActiveUserSelection.php
<?php

namespace Drupal\my_module\Plugin\EntityReferenceSelection;

use Drupal\Core\Entity\Plugin\EntityReferenceSelection\UserSelction;
use Drupal\Core\StringTranslation\TranslatableMarkup;

#[EntityReferenceSelection(
  id: "default:active_user",
  label: new TranslatableMarkup("User selection (only active users)"),
  entity_types: ["user"],
  group: "default",
  weight: 1
)]
class ActiveUserSelection extends UserSelection {

  /**
   * {@inheritdoc}
   */
  protected function buildEntityQuery($match = NULL, $match_operator = 'CONTAINS') {
    $query = parent::buildEntityQuery($match, $match_operator);
    $query->condition('status', 1);

    return $query;
  }

}

After implementing that plugin, you need to activate it on the entity form display for the field you want it.
