README

This project template should provide a kickstart for managing your site dependencies with Composer. It is based on the original Drupal Composer Template, but includes everything necessary to run on amazee.io (either the local development environment or on amazee.io servers.)

Requirements

docker
pygmy gem install pygmy (you might need sudo for this depending on your Ruby configuration)

Lando

Local environment setup - pygmy

Checkout this project repo and confirm the path is in Docker's file sharing config - https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-mac/#file-sharing
```
git clone https://github.com/amazeeio/drupal-example-simple.git drupal9-lagoon && cd $_
```
Make sure you don't have anything running on port 80 on the host machine (like a web server) then run pygmy up

Build and start the build images:

docker-compose up -d
docker-compose exec cli composer install

Visit the new site @ http://drupal9-example-simple.docker.amazee.io

If any steps fail, you're safe to rerun from any point. Starting again from the beginning will just reconfirm the changes.

Local environment setup - Lando

This repository is set up with a .lando.yml file, which allows you to use Lando instead of pygmy for your local development environment.

Install Lando.
Checkout the project repo and confirm the path is in Docker's file sharing config - https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-mac/#file-sharing
```
git clone https://github.com/amazeeio/drupal-example-simple.git drupal9-lagoon && cd $_
```
Make sure you have pygmy stopped. Run pygmy stop to be sure.
We already have a Lando file in this repository, so we just need to run the following command to get Lando up:

lando start

Install your Drupal site with Drush:

lando drush si -y

And now we have a fully working local Drupal site on Lando! For more information on how to deploy your site, check out our documentation or our deployment demo.

What does the template do?

When installing the given composer.json some tasks are taken care of:

Drupal will be installed in the web-directory.
Autoloader is implemented to use the generated composer autoloader in vendor/autoload.php, instead of the one provided by Drupal (web/vendor/autoload.php).
Modules (packages of type drupal-module) will be placed in web/modules/contrib/
Themes (packages of type drupal-theme) will be placed in web/themes/contrib/
Profiles (packages of type drupal-profile) will be placed in web/profiles/contrib/
Creates the web/sites/default/files-directory.
Latest version of drush is installed locally for use at vendor/bin/drush.
Latest version of Drupal Console is installed locally for use at vendor/bin/drupal.
The correct scaffolding for your Drupal core version is installed, along with Lagoon-specific scaffolding from our amazeeio/drupal-integrations project and the assets/ directory in this repo. For more information see drupal/core-composer-scaffold

Updating Drupal Core

Follow the steps below to update your core files. Scaffolding is managed by Drupal core. See the assets/ directory for more information.

Run composer update drupal/core-recommended drupal/core-dev-pinned --with-dependencies

FAQ

Should I commit the contrib modules I download?

Composer recommends no. They provide argumentation against but also workarounds if a project decides to do it anyway.

How can I apply patches to downloaded modules?

If you need to apply patches (depending on the project being modified, a pull request is often a better solution), you can do so with the composer-patches plugin.

To add a patch to drupal module foobar insert the patches section in the extra section of composer.json:

"extra": {
    "patches": {
        "drupal/foobar": {
            "Patch description": "URL to patch"
        }
    }
}
