Docksal

First you need to install docksal.

Note: You might need to install docker if you do not yet install it for your setup.

After that you clone this project and run

fin init

Monitor the console outputs carefully. The superadmin access will be returned there.

Note: Drupal will avalaible through http://drupal-boilerplate.docksal:8080/.

Drupal generator

To create a drupal instance

fin site-install

will install the drupal website automatically according to configurations you have set in .docksal/settings/site_config.sh

Note: You no longer have to run this command if you have already run the fin init command. This is just to let you know that it exists and that you can use it if you want to re-install a new drupal install from the same docksal instance.

Composer

To install php components, run

fin composer install

With composer require ... you can download new dependencies to your installation. Example:

fin composer require drupal/devel:~1.0

To check component version, run

fin composer outdated

To update composer packages, run

fin composer update

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 or local path to patch"
        }
    }
}

Use /patches directory to put patches files.

Xdebug

This project has a php with an xdebug installed and activated, ready to use.

To set it up with the IDE : Docksal + xdebug + phpstorm

Configuration split

Use config_split module to manage configurations.

There are three splits of configurations :

• dev : related to developpement environnement (/config/splits/dev)
• hors_prod : related to hors_prod environnement (/config/splits/hors_prod)
• prod : related to prod environnement (/config/splits/prod)

$config['config_split.config_split.dev']['status'] = TRUE;
$config['config_split.config_split.hors_prod']['status'] = FALSE;
$config['config_split.config_split.prod']['status'] = FALSE;

To import

fin drush cim -y

To export

fin drush csex -y

Translations

You need to manage po files to configure multilanguage site case.

Translations directory is stored (configured) /config/translations

To check for updates

fin drush locale-check

To update

fin drush locale-update

Particular commands

To reinstall composer package, remove vendor, core and contrib modules/themes :

fin compoer-reset

To install or update local environment : install new components, update database, import configurations, etc ...

fin site-update

Phpcs

Phpcs is necessary to control and continue coding in good practice.

The verification is done in the /www/modules/custom directory.

• Run phpcs to list all php code style evaluations :

fin phpcs

• Run phpcsf to fix all php code style evaluations that can be fixed automatically :

fin phpcs-fix

• Run phpcs to summary php code style evaluations :

fin phpcs-summary

Grumphp

grumphp is used to check the quality of codes before commits.

PhpLint, PhpUnit and PhpCs are launched at each commit.

Note: phpro/grumphp is fixed in 0.18.1 version because at the moment I write this doc, the recent version of grumphp is not compatible (has conflit) with some drupal dependencies.
