them
They extend and customize Drupal functionality
It's true that some are still not converted properly to the
newest version and some are poorly or not maintained at
all
But there are many who solve your everyday problems
efficiently
Therefore, we will look at the most popular Drupal
modules according to the official website of Drupal

Chaos tool suite (ctools) is the most popular Drupal
module, with almost nine hundred thousand sites using it,
making it the most installed Drupal module
This module is a set of tools to improve the developer
experience
The tools are, for example, Plugins, Exportables, Contexts,
AJAX responder ...
It also has a Page Manager, whose job is to manage panel
pages
The latest version for Drupal 8 is 8.x-3.0, while for Drupal 7
it’s 7.x-1.12

The next one is in Drupal 8 core
It is Views, which therefore needs to be downloaded
only for the Drupal versions 6 and 7
You need this module if you want to, for example,
alphabetically sort the default taxonomy view, sort
the default front page view differently, want to
provide 'unread forum posts', don’t like the way
articles are displayed in the article module and so on

The third most popular Drupal module, which still
has more than eight hundred thousand sites
using it, is Token
It provides UI for browsing tokens and additional
tokens not supported by the core
It’s available for version 8.x-1.0 and 7.x-1.7

If you have ctools and Token, you can
have Pathauto
It’s a module, which automatically generates URL
aliases for various kinds of content, like nodes or
taxonomy terms
This means that users don’t have to manually
specify the path alias
The version for Drupal 8 is the same as for Tokens,
while the available version for Drupal 7 is 7.x-1.3

Libraries API is the next one and you can say that
it’s the denominator for all Drupal modules that
integrate with external libraries
It’s the first module, which is installed in a little
less than seven hundred thousand sites
Although Drupal 8 core introduced some
improved library management tools, Libraries API
remains an important API module for the Drupal 8
contrib environment

In order to deal with entities and their properties, you
need Entity API
It provides API functions allowing modules to create,
delete, view, save or to determine access for any entity
There are still more than six hundred thousand sites
using this module
Entity API for the newest version of Drupal will someday
be moved to Drupal core, but until then it is still used as
a module

One more absent from Drupal 8 is jQuery Update, a module
which, the name says it all actually, upgrades the version of
jQuery in a Drupal core
We’ll conclude our list with the one, very helpful to the
newcomers
Administration menu provides an administration interface
or to be easily understood navigation
But be careful! The project is not covered by Drupal’s security
advisory policy, so in case you use it, it will be at your own
risk
