If you want to know how to use it as replacement for [Drush Make](https://github.com/drush-ops/drush/blob/master/docs/make.md) visit the [Documentation on drupal.org](https://www.drupal.org/node/2471553). Usage ----- [](#usage) First you need to install [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md#installation-linux-unix-osx) and [Git](https://git-scm.com). > 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 --stability dev front/university-project university ``` With `composer require ...` you can download new dependencies to your installation. ``` cd university composer require drupal/devel:1.* ``` 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. What does the template do? -------------------------- [](#what-does-the-template-do) When installing the given `composer.json` some tasks are taken care of: - Drupal will be installed in the `docroot`-directory. - Autoloader is implemented to use the generated composer autoloader in `vendor/autoload.php`, instead of the one provided by Drupal (`docroot/vendor/autoload.php`). - Modules (packages of type `drupal-module`) will be placed in `docroot/modules/contrib/` - Theme (packages of type `drupal-theme`) will be placed in `docroot/themes/contrib/` - Profiles (packages of type `drupal-profile`) will be placed in `docroot/profiles/contrib/` - Downloads Drupal scaffold files such as `index.php`, or `.htaccess` - Creates `sites/default/files`-directory. - Latest version of drush is installed locally for use at `bin/drush`. - Latest version of DrupalConsole is installed locally for use at `bin/drupal`. Installing University --------------------- [](#installing-university) Create project will install University into the docroot direcrory inside of `university`. You can now install University as you would with any Drupal 8 site. See: [Drupal installation guide](https://www.drupal.org/node/1839310). Updating University ------------------- [](#updating-university) This project will attempt to keep all of your University and Drupal Core files up-to-date; the project [drupal-composer/drupal-scaffold](https://github.com/drupal-composer/drupal-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 modfied files are updated in a new release of Drupal core. Follow the steps below to update your University files. 1. Run `composer update front/university` 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 `docroot` 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. 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). ### 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 prevent downloading modules from University, that I do not need? [](#how-can-i-prevent-downloading-modules-from-university-that-i-do-not-need) To prevent downloading a module, that University provides but that you do not need, add a replace block to your composer.json: ``` "replace": { "drupal/features": "*" } ``` This example prevents any version of the feature module to be downloaded. ### Health Score 26 — LowBetter than 43% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity14 Limited adoption so far Community11 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity52 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
