Rather than one large Recipe that tries to do everything, we've broken it up into multiple sub-recipes. This recipe installs them all, but you can also install the sub-recipes on their own. - [kanopi/gin-admin-experience](https://github.com/kanopi/gin-admin-experience) - [kanopi/saplings-base](https://github.com/kanopi/saplings-base) - [kanopi/saplings-editorial](https://github.com/kanopi/saplings-editorial) - [kanopi/saplings-launch](https://github.com/kanopi/saplings-launch) - [kanopi/saplings-tests](https://github.com/kanopi/saplings-tests) \[Cypress\] - [kanopi/saplings-content-types](https://github.com/kanopi/saplings-content-types) - [kanopi/saplings-content-base](https://github.com/kanopi/saplings-content-base) - [kanopi/saplings-component-types](https://github.com/kanopi/saplings-component-types) - [kanopi/saplings-component-base](https://github.com/kanopi/saplings-component-base) - [kanopi/saplings\_paragraphs](https://github.com/kanopi/saplings_paragraphs) \[Module\] - [kanopi/saplings-media](https://github.com/kanopi/saplings-media) - [kanopi/imagemagick-configuration](https://github.com/kanopi/imagemagick-configuration) - [kanopi/saplings-theme](https://github.com/kanopi/saplings-theme) - [kanopi/saplings\_child](https://github.com/kanopi/saplings_child) \[Theme\] - [kanopi/saplings\_custom](https://github.com/kanopi/saplings_custom) \[Module\] --- [![Saplings ERD](https://private-user-images.githubusercontent.com/5177009/312098593-3b348086-bfcd-427e-adf5-c6bcd1fc2cc7.svg?jwt=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.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.xYOjuOprgbj_72Wr4SJRkT4TsIZY9sK1n3nO5OQdeLM)](https://private-user-images.githubusercontent.com/5177009/312098593-3b348086-bfcd-427e-adf5-c6bcd1fc2cc7.svg?jwt=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.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.xYOjuOprgbj_72Wr4SJRkT4TsIZY9sK1n3nO5OQdeLM) --- Requiring and Applying this recipe ---------------------------------- [](#requiring-and-applying-this-recipe) Apply a recipe to Drupal installed with a minimal profile. See [below](#setting-up-a-quick-testing-environment)is you want to set up a quick testing environment. - Follow the instructions in [kanopi/drupal-starter](https://github.com/kanopi/drupal-starter)to start a new project as it is configured for recipes and tooling needed. - Run `fin composer require kanopi/saplings:^1` to require this repository. - Run `fin recipe-apply ../recipes/saplings` to apply this recipe. - Run the following command to unpack the dependencies from all kanopi/saplings recipes to the site project's composer.json file. ``` fin recipe-unpack kanopi/saplings && fin recipe-unpack kanopi/gin-admin-experience && fin recipe-unpack kanopi/saplings-base && fin recipe-unpack kanopi/saplings-editorial && fin recipe-unpack kanopi/saplings-launch && fin recipe-unpack kanopi/saplings-content-types && fin recipe-unpack kanopi/saplings-component-types && fin recipe-unpack kanopi/saplings-component-base && fin recipe-unpack kanopi/saplings-content-base && fin recipe-unpack kanopi/saplings-media && fin recipe-unpack kanopi/imagemagick-configuration && fin recipe-unpack kanopi/saplings-theme && fin recipe-unpack kanopi/saplings-editorial && fin recipe-unpack kanopi/saplings-content-base-header && fin recipe-unpack kanopi/saplings-content-base-seo && fin recipe-unpack kanopi/saplings-events && fin recipe-unpack drupal/events && fin recipe-unpack drupal/events_calendar && fin recipe-unpack drupal/events_locations && fin recipe-unpack kanopi/imagemagick-configuration && fin recipe-unpack drupal/locations && fin recipe-unpack kanopi/saplings-full-html-editor && fin recipe-unpack drupal/tour_core ``` - Export configuration. You can then remove the recipe once it has been applied and unpacked as the configuration is now in your Drupal, and the dependencies are in your composer. - `fin composer remove kanopi/saplings` - Export configuration. --- Roadmap ------- [](#roadmap) ### Phase 1 [](#phase-1) Feature complete. ### Phase 2 [](#phase-2) - Break Page and Post Content types into their own recipes. - Additional components as needed. - [kanopi/saplings-ai](https://github.com/kanopi/saplings-ai) - \[WIP\] Helpful AI functionality for content creators. - [kanopi/saplings-person](https://github.com/kanopi/saplings-person) - \[WIP\] Creates a Person content type and related configuration. - [kanopi/saplings-events](https://github.com/kanopi/saplings-events) - \[WIP\] Configuration for Saplings Events - [kanopi/saplings-demo-events](https://github.com/kanopi/saplings-demo-events) - \[WIP\] Demo content for Saplings Events - [kanopi/solr-search-pantheon-recipe](https://github.com/kanopi/solr-search-pantheon-recipe) - The goal is to configure Solr for Pantheon on a site that isn't going to use saplings. ### Phase 3 [](#phase-3) Investigate extending Drupal CMS' recipes. ### Other Kanopi Recipes: [](#other-kanopi-recipes) - [kanopi/saplings-domain](https://github.com/kanopi/saplings-domain) - Installs and configures Domain modules. - [kanopi/saplings-demo-content](https://github.com/kanopi/saplings-demo-content) - Demo content for Saplings. - [kanopi/saplings-solr](https://github.com/kanopi/saplings-solr) - Configures a back-end and front-end Solr search customized for Saplings on Pantheon. - [kanopi/password-policy-90-days](https://packagist.org/packages/kanopi/password-policy-90-days) - Installs and configures Password Policy and sets a 90 day expiration default. - [kanopi/remote-video-youtube-lite](https://packagist.org/packages/kanopi/remote-video-youtube-lite) - Configures Remote Video Media entity to use Lite YouTube Embed. ### Other Saplings related modules [](#other-saplings-related-modules) - [kanopi/saplings\_navbar](https://github.com/kanopi/saplings_navbar) - Creates a navbar pattern for Saplings that allows the parent to be a link and then have a dropdown indicator to access child menu items. --- Contributing/Testing -------------------- [](#contributingtesting) We'd love your help with testing, ideation, and development. ### Setting up a quick testing environment [](#setting-up-a-quick-testing-environment) Decide on a name for your testing environment. In this example, I will use `kanland`. - Checkout kanopi/drupal-starter into it's own repo. - `git clone git@github.com:kanopi/drupal-starter.git kanland && cd kanland` - Open /.docksal/docksal.env in your editor. - Update row 28 `hostingsite="kanland"` and save. - Run `fin init` - The build will fail with the following message as we haven't installed Drupal yet. `Error: Class "Drupal\user\Entity\User" not found` - Run `fin drush si minimal -y && fin drush uli` to install Drupal and log in. - Click on the one-time-login to verify the minimal install happened. - Require this repository: `fin composer require kanopi/saplings:^1` - Apply the recipe: `fin recipe-apply saplings` To reset after you have done some testing: - Run `fin init` - The build will fail with the following message as we haven't installed Drupal yet. `Error: Class "Drupal\user\Entity\User" not found` - Run `fin drush si minimal -y && fin drush uli` to install Drupal and log in. ### Requiring recipes [](#requiring-recipes) Use composer the require the recipes needed. We currently host on our packagist. ### Applying and Unpacking recipes in Drupal [](#applying-and-unpacking-recipes-in-drupal) To apply contrib/composer installed recipes, run the following commands: `fin recipe-apply recipe-name` Each recipe can have composer dependencies. "Unpacking" takes these dependencies from the recipe and applies them to the project's composer.json file. To unpack contrib/composer installed recipes, run the following commands: `fin recipe-unpack recipe-name` Dependencies ------------ [](#dependencies) See chart and list in [/docs/dependencies.md](/docs/dependencies.md) ### Health Score 40 — FairBetter than 87% of packages Maintenance59 Moderate activity, may be stable Popularity23 Limited adoption so far Community19 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity51 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 90.8% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
