README

Provides the Article content type as configured for this site: its fields, permissions, URL alias pattern, Card display, and search integration.

This is based on the structure of core's article_content_type recipe (content type, body field, view/form displays, node action config), but replaces core's plain Image field with this site's media-reference field_image, and adds the additional fields, permissions, and displays that have been built for Article. It intentionally does not declare core/recipes/article_content_type as a dependency — that recipe ships its own field_image as a plain Image field and marks it strict, which conflicts with this site's media-reference field_image of the same name. Depending on it would either fail outright (if field_image already exists with different settings) or be silently ignored on a fresh install, since Drupal's recipe system never overwrites existing configuration and a field's storage type can't change after creation.

Fields

Field	Type	Notes
`body`	Text (formatted, long, with summary)
`field_image`	Entity reference (Media)	References the `image` media bundle, replacing core's plain Image field
`field_featured`	Boolean	Indexed and boosted in search (see below)
`field_topic`	Entity reference (Taxonomy term)	References the `topic` vocabulary, which this recipe also creates
`field_date`	Date	Required; defaults to now; drives the article's URL alias and a view sort
`field_author`	Text (plain)	Required
`field_metatag`	Metatag	Site-wide default values for Article are provided by `metatag.metatag_defaults.node__article`

Configuration Highlights

Displays: Default and Teaser view displays, a Card view display/view mode (used by the articles view's row style), and a form display with the Media Library widget for the image field and Tagify for the topic field.
Permissions: grants administrator and content_editor the Article content permissions (create/edit/delete/revert) and the topic vocabulary term permissions.
Pathauto: /article/[node:field_date:date:html_date]/[node:title] alias pattern.
Menu UI / Search API Exclude: third-party settings are present on the content type (no menu currently selected; Search API Exclude enabled).
Search integration: layers field_date, field_featured, and field_topic onto the search_api.index.content index owned by recipe-search via a setProperties config action (rather than shipping a competing copy of that config), and enables the number_field_boost processor, boosting field_featured (factor 13, max aggregation).
Articles view (views.view.articles): a Search API–backed, infinite-scroll grid of articles with a keyword filter, a Topic filter (Multiselect Dropdown widget), sorted by relevance, featured status, and date. Available as a page and as a block.

Installation

Add the recipe to a project with Composer:

composer require imagex/recipe-article

Then apply it:

drush recipe:apply recipes/recipe-article

Notes

This recipe uses strict: true — every config file it ships is compared byte-for-byte against whatever's already active, and applying it to a site with conflicting Article configuration will raise an error rather than silently overwriting it. This is deliberate: it keeps the recipe honest about exactly reproducing this site's Article setup, rather than drifting quietly out of sync.
