Looking for Drupal 8 Guidance

Hi all. I recently posted this question in the forums, and thought I would double down and post it here as well. I'd like to move my Drupal 7 YouTube Mashup, BUDDYM Jukebox, to Drupal 8, but I am struggling with how to migrate my php snippets to a theme preprocess function. I previously took shortcuts by placing all my php snippets into the node body field. Now, I would like to do it the right way, which I believe is with a theme preprocess function.

Thanks!

Drupal 8: jQuery and Content Types

Hey all,

I finally got around to installing Drupal 8! I like the built in responsive first Bartik theme, but there are a couple of other changes that are affecting my ability to add custom content to my new installation. The first is the removal of the php filter, and the second are the changes to the JavaScript API.

The removal of the php filter was a minor annoyance, but easily remedied by adding it to my installation. The changes to the JavaScript API however are proving to be my undoing.
