"The" Build
===========

[](#the-build)

This repository contains project setup templates and reusable phing build targets for Drupal projects.

*Note: If you are starting a new a project, you may be looking for the [drupal-skeleton](https://github.com/palantirnet/drupal-skeleton).*

Adding the-build with composer
------------------------------

[](#adding-the-build-with-composer)

```
$> composer require palantirnet/the-build
```

Composer 2.2.2 or greater is required for the-build.

Setting up
----------

[](#setting-up)

Install the default templates and phing targets to your project:

```
$> vendor/bin/the-build-installer
```

This will trigger an interactive prompt to configure your basic build properties, adding the following templated files and directories:

- `.circleci/`
- `.the-build/`
- `behat.yml`
- `build.xml`
- `drush/drushrc.php`
- `drush/*.aliases.drushrc.php`
- `config/`
- `(web|docroot)/sites/default/settings.php`
- `(web|docroot)/sites/default/settings.(host).php`

These files should be checked in to your project.

Configure your build by editing `.the-build/build.yml`. You can find more properties in [defaults.yml](defaults.yml), and override the defaults by copying them into your project's properties files.

Using the-build
---------------

[](#using-the-build)

### Everyday commands

[](#everyday-commands)

Reinstall the Drupal site from config:

```
$> vendor/bin/phing install
```

Rebuild the `settings.build.php` configuration, and the styleguide if it's available (run automatically when you call `install`):

```
$> vendor/bin/phing build
```

Run code reviews and tests:

```
$> vendor/bin/phing test
```

### Other commands

[](#other-commands)

View a list of other available targets with:

```
