The recommended settings includes: - The required database credentials. - Configuration sync directory path. - File directory path i.e public/private etc. - Acquia site studio sync directory path. It allows your websites to be easily installed in both Acquia Cloud IDE & local and deployable on Acquia Cloud. Installation ------------ [](#installation) ### Install using Composer [](#install-using-composer) ``` composer require acquia/drupal-recommended-settings ``` ### Multi-site features with Acquia DRS [](#multi-site-features-with-acquia-drs) The Drupal Recommended Settings offer the multi-site feature out of the box. To configure a multi-site, run the following command, and the plugin will automatically generate the settings.php in the backend. ``` drush site:install --uri site1 ``` The plugin offers various events that allow you to implement custom logic based on when these events are triggered. You can find the examples of such implementations from [here](examples). Quick examples ============== [](#quick-examples) ### Generate settings with default credentials for the default site: [](#generate-settings-with-default-credentials-for-the-default-site) ``` ./vendor/bin/drush init:settings ``` ### Set up a new site with custom credentials for the local environment: [](#set-up-a-new-site-with-custom-credentials-for-the-local-environment) ``` ./vendor/bin/drush init:settings --database=site1 --username=myuser --password=mypass --host=127.0.0.1 --port=1234 --uri=site1 ``` License ======= [](#license) Copyright (C) 2023 Acquia, Inc.
