README

Polyfill for the node_storage_body_field sub-module introduced in Drupal 11.3 (#3447617).

In Drupal 11.3, field.storage.node.body was moved out of the Node module into a new node_storage_body_field sub-module. Contributed modules that ship node types with a body field must now declare a dependency on node_storage_body_field to ensure the field storage config exists when their module is installed.

This module provides a shim for older Drupal versions where that sub-module does not exist yet. The body field storage itself is still provided by the Node module on older core versions — this shim simply satisfies the dependency.

Versions

• 1.x (Drupal 10.x / 11.0-11.2): Empty shim module that satisfies the node_storage_body_field dependency. No config is shipped — the Node module already provides field.storage.node.body on these core versions.
• 2.x (Drupal 11.3+): Metapackage no-op. Core already provides node_storage_body_field.

Usage

Add to your module's composer.json:

"require": {
    "drupal/backport_node_storage_body_field": "^1 || ^2"
}

Add to your module's .info.yml:

dependencies:
  - node_storage_body_field:node_storage_body_field

Remove field.storage.node.body from your module's config/install if present.
