Composer template for Drupal projects

Based on Drupal Composer

What does the template do?

• Drupal will be installed in the web directory.
• Generated composer autoloader vendor/autoload.php is used instead of web/vendor/autoload.php provided by Drupal core.
• Modules (packages of type drupal-module) will be placed in web/modules/contrib directory.
• Themes (packages of type drupal-theme) will be placed in web/themes/contrib directory.
• Profiles (packages of type drupal-profile) will be placed in web/profiles/contrib directory.
• Creates default writable versions of settings.php and services.yml.
• Creates web/sites/default/files directory.
• Drush is installed for use as vendor/bin/drush.
• Provides an example of the .env file.

Usage

Manual install instructions. Production deployments should be handled by the CI/CD runner automatically.
Instructions for this to come later one I've actually built the flow.

Note

The Cram-A-Lot website does not currently support containerized deployments.

1. Clone the repository to the destination.
2. Install Dependencies

composer install

3. Configure your webserver's home dir to {PROJECT_DIR}/web

Setup for development

It is recommended to install DDEV.
Review the official Drupal Local Development Guide for more information.

Prerequisites

You must have WSL2 set up on your system with docker installed.

Install DDEV

# Add DDEV’s GPG key to your keyring
sudo sh -c 'echo ""'
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y curl
sudo install -m 0755 -d /etc/apt/keyrings
curl -fsSL https://pkg.ddev.com/apt/gpg.key | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /etc/apt/keyrings/ddev.gpg > /dev/null
sudo chmod a+r /etc/apt/keyrings/ddev.gpg

# Add DDEV releases to your package repository
sudo sh -c 'echo ""'
echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/ddev.gpg] https://pkg.ddev.com/apt/ * *" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ddev.list >/dev/null

# Update package information and install DDEV
sudo sh -c 'echo ""'
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y ddev

# One-time initialization of mkcert
mkcert -install

Starting the Dev Container

1. Clone this project, then open a terminal session to the new directory.
2. Run ddev config --project-type drupal --docroot web
3. Run ddev composer install then ddev start. Watch for the console to output a URL to access the webserver
