Icecat project template
=======================

[](#icecat-project-template)

Use [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/) to get Drupal + Icecat with all dependencies.

Based on [drupal-composer/drupal-project](https://github.com/drupal-composer/drupal-project).

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 haringsrob/drupal-icecat-base some-dir --stability dev --no-interaction

```

Done! Use `composer require ...` to download additional modules and themes:

```
cd some-dir
composer require "drupal/devel:1.x-dev"

```

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)

- 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/`
- Creates default writable versions of `settings.php` and `services.yml`.
- Creates the `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-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 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 --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.

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"
        }
    }
}
```
