Centarro Commerce Kickstart 5.x project template
================================================

[](#centarro-commerce-kickstart-5x-project-template)

Use [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/) to get Drupal + Centarro Commerce Kickstart 4.0.x.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

First you need to [install composer](https://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md#installation-linux-unix-osx).

> Note: The instructions below refer to the [global composer installation](https://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md#globally). You might need to replace `composer` with `php composer.phar` (or similar) for your setup.

After that you can create the project:

```
composer create-project centarro/commerce-kickstart-project kickstart

```

Done! Use `composer require ...` to download additional modules and themes. For example, if you want to install the certified Centarro modules you'd change into the target directory and require `centarro/certified-projects`:

```
cd kickstart
composer require centarro/certified-projects

```

The `composer create-project` command passes ownership of all files to the project that is created. You should create a new git repository, and commit all files not excluded by the .gitignore file.

Demo content
------------

[](#demo-content)

Starting from Commerce Kickstart 5, this project includes the [Kickstart Demo](https://www.drupal.org/project/commerce_kickstart_demo) recipe by default. The full demo is designed specifically for evaluating Drupal Commerce or Commerce Kickstart and should only be installed on new Kickstart instances. It is **not intended** for existing Drupal installations. Installing the Kickstart Demo is optional.

If you don't need the demo, you can remove it using the following command:

```
cd kickstart
composer remove drupal/commerce_kickstart_demo
```

What does the template do?
--------------------------

[](#what-does-the-template-do)

- Drupal is installed in the `web` directory.
- Modules (packages of type `drupal-module`) are placed in `web/modules/contrib/`
- Theme (packages of type `drupal-theme`) are placed in `web/themes/contrib/`
- Profiles (packages of type `drupal-profile`) are placed in `web/profiles/contrib/`
- Recipes (packages of type `drupal-recipe`) are placed in `recipes/`
- Creates default writable versions of `settings.php` and `services.yml`.
- Creates the `web/sites/default/files` directory.
- Latest version of DrupalConsole is installed locally for use at `bin/drupal`.

Updating Drupal Core
--------------------

[](#updating-drupal-core)

This project will attempt to keep all of your Drupal Core files up-to-date; the project [drupal/core-composer-scaffold](https://github.com/drupal/core-composer-scaffold)is used to ensure that your scaffold files are updated every time drupal/core is updated. If you customize any of the "scaffolding" files (commonly .htaccess), you may need to merge conflicts if any of your modified files are updated in a new release of Drupal core.

Follow the steps below to update your core files.

1. Run `composer update drupal/core drupal/core-dev --with-dependencies` to update Drupal Core and its dependencies.
2. Run `git diff` to determine if any of the scaffolding files have changed. Review the files for any changes and restore any customizations to `.htaccess` or `robots.txt`.
3. Commit everything all together in a single commit, so `web` will remain in sync with the `core` when checking out branches or running `git bisect`.
4. In the event that there are non-trivial conflicts in step 2, you may wish to perform these steps on a branch, and use `git merge` to combine the updated core files with your customized files. This facilitates the use of a [three-way merge tool such as kdiff3](http://www.gitshah.com/2010/12/how-to-setup-kdiff-as-diff-tool-for-git.html). This setup is not necessary if your changes are simple; keeping all of your modifications at the beginning or end of the file is a good strategy to keep merges easy.

Generate composer.json from existing project
--------------------------------------------

[](#generate-composerjson-from-existing-project)

With using [the "Composer Generate" drush extension](https://www.drupal.org/project/composer_generate)you can now generate a basic `composer.json` file from an existing project. Note that the generated `composer.json` might differ from this project's file.

FAQ
---

[](#faq)

### Should I commit the contrib modules I download?

[](#should-i-commit-the-contrib-modules-i-download)

Composer recommends **no**. They provide [argumentation against but also workrounds if a project decides to do it anyway](https://getcomposer.org/doc/faqs/should-i-commit-the-dependencies-in-my-vendor-directory.md).

### Should I commit the scaffolding files?

[](#should-i-commit-the-scaffolding-files)

The [Drupal Composer Scaffold](https://github.com/drupal/core-composer-scaffold) plugin can download the scaffold files (like index.php, update.php, …) to the web/ directory of your project. If you have not customized those files you could choose to not check them into your version control system (e.g. git). If that is the case for your project it might be convenient to automatically run the drupal-scaffold plugin after every install or update of your project. You can achieve that by registering `@composer drupal:scaffold` as post-install and post-update command in your composer.json:

```
"scripts": {
    "post-install-cmd": [
        "@composer drupal:scaffold",
        "..."
    ],
    "post-update-cmd": [
        "@composer drupal:scaffold",
        "..."
    ]
},
```

### How can I apply patches to downloaded modules?

[](#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](https://github.com/cweagans/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"
        }
    }
}
```

### How can I add js/css libraries using composer.json?

[](#how-can-i-add-jscss-libraries-using-composerjson)

It is possible to install JavaScript libraries with Composer using custom packages as this project does, downloading the packages outside of the docroot and copying over just the necessary files into the Drupal libraries directory. We previously relied on asset-packagist to do this but had to change our approach after the repository went defunct. Refer to [this tutorial](https://ryanszrama.com/blog/04-18-2022/replace-asset-packagist-custom-package-repositories) for more information.

### How do I specify a PHP version ?

[](#how-do-i-specify-a-php-version-)

This project supports PHP 8.3 as minimum version (see [Drupal PHP requirements](https://www.drupal.org/docs/system-requirements/php-requirements)), however it's possible that a `composer update` will upgrade some package that will then require a newer version.

To prevent this you can add this code to specify the PHP version you want to use in the `config` section of `composer.json`:

```
"config": {
    "sort-packages": true,
    "platform": {
        "php": "7.1.21"
    }
},
```
