1. Build Instructions
---------------------

[](#1-build-instructions)

### Requirements

[](#requirements)

- PHP 7.0.\*
- Composer 1.0.0+

### Building Drupal

[](#building-drupal)

To start a new project based on Skeletor in `[target-dir-name]`, run:

```
composer create-project drupal-composer/drupal-project:8.x-dev some-dir --stability dev --no-interaction
cd some-dir
```

Open `composer.json` in `some-dir` and add `"enable-patching": true` in the `"extra"` section.

```
{
    "extra": {
        "enable-patching": true
    }
}
```

Now add skeletor as a dependency to your build:

```
composer require myplanet/skeletor:8.2.x-dev
```

Once skeletor has successfully been added to the build we need to include scaffold files provided by skeletor. By default you will get Acquia cloud hooks, travis scripts, a .gitignore file to use on production and a .travis.yml file with sensible defaults. From the **project root**:

```
./vendor/bin/skeletor-init-project.sh
```

In order to create a sub profile based on Skeletor, you have to apply a patch to Drupal core (until it's incorporated [into core](https://www.drupal.org/project/drupal/issues/1356276)). To do so, add the following to your `composer.json`

```
"patches": {
    "drupal/core": {
        "1356276 - Allow profiles to provide a base/parent profile and load them in the correct order":
        "https://www.drupal.org/files/issues/2018-10-23/1356276-549-8.6.x.patch"
    }
},
```

Then connect your new project to a git repository, from the project folder run:

```
git init
git remote add origin [git-url]
git add -A
git commit -m "Initial Commit"
git push origin
```

### Customizing your build

[](#customizing-your-build)

Skeletor ships with composer scripts which can be viewed inside `skeletor/scripts/composer`. These can be added to your `composer.json` to automate parts of your build.

**These scripts run during `composer install` or `composer update` so you will have to execute those again.**

#### Script List

[](#script-list)

- `Skeletor\\composer\\PHPCSHandler::installDrupalSniffs`

    PHP Code Sniffer is installed at the project level. Because Drupal has unique lint rules we include them with the `coder` project. This script attaches the Drupal specific lint rules to PHP Code Sniffer.
- `Skeletor\\composer\\ProductionHandler::installNPM`

    Searches project directories and runs `npm install` in directories where package.json is discovered.
- `Skeletor\\composer\\ProductionBuild::placeGitIgnore`

    Looks for `prod.gitignore` in the project root and copies it to `.gitignore`. This is useful as a deploy step for Acquia.
- `Skeletor\\composer\\ProductionBuild::removeGitFolders`

    Searches project directories looking for `.git` directories which signify a git repository. It removes the discovered `.git` directories to prepare these dependencies to be committed to the Acquia deployment repository.

#### Full Example

[](#full-example)

Example of the `scripts` section of your `composer.json`.

```
{
    "scripts": {
        "deploy": [
            "@composer install --prefer-dist --no-dev",
            "Skeletor\\composer\\ProductionBuild::removeGitFolders",
            "Skeletor\\composer\\ProductionBuild::placeGitIgnore"
        ],
        "pre-install-cmd": [
            "DrupalProject\\composer\\ScriptHandler::checkComposerVersion"
        ],
        "pre-update-cmd": [
            "DrupalProject\\composer\\ScriptHandler::checkComposerVersion"
        ],
        "post-install-cmd": [
            "DrupalProject\\composer\\ScriptHandler::createRequiredFiles",
            "Skeletor\\composer\\ProductionHandler::installNPM",
            "Skeletor\\composer\\PHPCSHandler::installDrupalSniffs"
        ],
        "post-update-cmd": [
            "DrupalProject\\composer\\ScriptHandler::createRequiredFiles",
            "Skeletor\\composer\\ProductionHandler::installNPM",
            "Skeletor\\composer\\PHPCSHandler::installDrupalSniffs"
        ]
    }
}
```

### Adjusting Drupal files

[](#adjusting-drupal-files)

You can make adjustments to files provided by Drupal directly, such as `settings.php`, `.htaccess`, or `robots.txt`.

Commit the file with the changes in it's desired place within the docroot (web), such as `robots.txt`. Add it to drupal-scaffold:excludes array in composer.json, to prevent it from being overwritten during the build process.

```
{
    "extra": {
        "drupal-scaffold": {
            "excludes": [
                "robots.txt"
            ]
        }
    }
}
```

By default, we have excluded the settings.php file in the build process already. You can read more about further [customizing the drupal build process at the Drupal-Scaffold documentation](https://github.com/drupal-composer/drupal-scaffold/blob/master/README.md).

2. Layout
---------

[](#2-layout)

With 8.2.x we have pared Skeletor down to an install profile.

Skeletor will be installed within a drupal-project composer build: [guidelines for a Drupal 8 composer project](https://github.com/drupal-composer/drupal-project).

Skeletor profile is installed in `web/profiles/contrib/skeletor`

Installation of Skeletor will scaffold the project with the following:

- A starter `.travis.yml` to ease CI.
- Default **Acquia cloud hooks** are symlinked to the project root. You are free remove the symlink and implement your own hooks.
- PHP Codesniffer installed as a project dependency with Drupal code sniffs pre-installed.
- Drush alias boilerplate.
- local configuration files (settings.local.php, etc)
- Opt In **git hooks** which can be linked into the project `.git/hooks` directory.

3. Theme
--------

[](#3-theme)

Skeletor has a base theme (`barebones`) and one starterkit sub-theme that implements Bootstrap. Teams that want to create a child theme that is based on a different framework, they can base them off the base theme.

### A. Barebones base theme (`barebones`) features

[](#a-barebones-base-theme-barebones-features)

    - Text

The Configuration Management system provides a consistent API for defining and syncing configuration between instances of a Drupal site. [Read more about configuration management in our wiki](https://github.com/myplanetdigital/drupal-skeletor/wiki/Setup-&-Working-with-Configuration-Management)

8. Production Build Requirements
--------------------------------

[](#8-production-build-requirements)

### Trusted host security setting in Drupal 8

[](#trusted-host-security-setting-in-drupal-8)

Drupal 8 supports [trusted host patterns](https://www.drupal.org/node/2410395), where you can (and should) specify a set of regular expressions that the domains on incoming requests must match. It is important to setup them before deploying to ACQUIA or PANTHEON environments.
