When a drupal site has different domains for its language, difficulties can arise when developing locally. With the following snippet, you override your language settings, so prefixes are used instead of domains:

Add the following to your settings.php file:

$config['language.negotiation']['url']['source'] = 'prefix';

$date = strtotime($importObject->created_at); // which is a date format
$node->set('created', $date);
// $node->save(); etc

From time to time it comes in quite handy to import configuration from other websites into yours. You site uuid is unique though, with the following snippet you get yours.

drush config-get "system.site" uuid

A typical setup is one where you would redirect all non www and http requests to https://www.domainname.com. I prefer to keep my .htaccess file in version control also. With the following snippet, I get it the way I want it.

Easy snippet to get your current language:

// Get current language code
$language = \Drupal::languageManager()->getCurrentLanguage()->getId();
