README

This recipe is designed to do the following:

• Install certain parts of Standard install profile that we want
• Disable core modules we don't want
• Set specific contributed module configuration
• Provide a starting point for Drupal ready to develop features for without wasting too much time on the post-install ceremony.

Installing

• Start with a Drupal 11 site.
• Install the 'Minimal' profile.
• Apply the recipe

The recipe can be applied with PHP in Drupal 11+.

Execute this command from the web root:

php core/scripts/dr recipe recipes/velir-base

Or by using ddev exec

ddev exec -d /var/www/html/docroot php core/scripts/drupal recipe 
recipes/velir-base

The easiest way is with Drush:

ddev drush recipe /var/www/html/recipes/velir_base

If all goes well, you should see the following output:

 [OK] Velir Base applied successfully

Clear the cache after the recipe is applied. When going back to the site, all the recipe configuration and customization have been applied.

Unpacking

You can mirror the recipe contents to the root composer.json file with:

ddev composer config allow-plugins.drupal/core-recipe-unpack true
ddev composer require drupal/core-recipe-unpack
ddev composer drupal:recipe-unpack
