The file system created by the Composer template deserves a close look. 3) The system folder architecture is created The above command will remove Drush from the code managed by the Composer template. If these are not needed, they can be removed from a project in the same manner as any Composer library. Some people don’t use Drush, some don’t use Drupal console. The Composer template is just that - a template. At the time of writing, 123 libraries are installed into the project with the install command.īut wait - I don’t use Also note that Drupal core alone has multiple dependencies which have their own dependencies. And Others: There are many other libraries that are included as part of the Drupal Composer template, but the truth is that I haven’t looked into them.If there is an issue for the patch, a link to the issue is good to add to the description, so developers can quickly look into the status of the patch, see if any updated patches have been released, and check if the patch has been incorporated into the library, rendering the patch unnecessary. Note that the description of the patch, given above as "Patch description", is arbitrary, and should be something descriptive. With the above code, the next time composer update drupal/core is run, Composer will attempt to apply the patch found at to Drupal core. ![]() Patches are tracked by adding them to composer.json. This ensures that bugs don't arise from forgetting to re-apply patches after the update. However, when the library the patch has been applied to is updated to a newer version, the patches have to be re-applied. What Composer Patches does is allow developers to track patches applied to the project, and have them applied automatically during the update process. The library maintainer may or may not add the patch to the source code, but in the meantime, other developers can apply the patch to their own systems, both to test if it works, as well as use it if it does. Patches allow developers to submit changes, be they bug fixes or new functionality, to the library maintainer. A patch is kind of like a band-aid that can be applied to code. First, an explanation of a patch is necessary. Even if Composer had no other benefits, this one would be great. This library in and of itself is worth using Composer to manage Drupal projects in my eyes. Composer Patches: This one is very cool.Drupal Console: Drupal Console is also really cool.Anything to be written about Drush has already been written somewhere else, so check it out - it will be worth your while! If you don’t know what it is, it’s worth some Google-fu. These libraries are set by default as requirements in composer.json, and therefore are included when running the install command given earlier. ![]() The Composer template has a number of dependencies included by default, some of which we will take a look at here. ![]() The project contains the composer.json and composer.lock files that will be used to manage the code base of the project.Ģ) Library dependencies (as well as their dependencies) are installed Change this to the appropriate name for your project. The first thing the installation does is to create the directory specified as some-dir in the command, and initializes a Composer project in that directory. This command does a number of things, many of which will be addressed below. Starting a new project with the Drupal Composer template can be done with the following line of code:Ĭomposer create-project drupal-composer/drupal-project:8.x-dev some-dir -stability dev -no-interaction Instructions on how to use the template can be found there, and the same instructions are found in the README.md file that comes with the project when installed. This Drupal Composer template can be found on Github at. Beginning a New Projectįortunately a lot of work has been put into creating a Composer base (called a template) for Drupal projects. This article will be difficult to understand without first understanding the concepts explained in part 1, so If you have not read it, it would probably be worth your while to ensure you understand the concepts outlined in the summary of that article, before proceeding with this one.
