Drupal Project
==============

[](#drupal-project)

Use this project as a template for working on Drupal core and contrib modules.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

Most of the dev tools are in the php Docker container, but you will need one or two out side of that.

This includes:

- PHP 7.1+
- Git
- and [Composer](https://getcomposer.org).

If you don't have these installed, then follow the instructions for your specific platform.

### MacOS

[](#macos)

Download and install Homebrew follow the [online instructions](https://brew.sh/).

Add the php tap:

```
brew tap homebrew/homebrew-php
brew install git composer php71 php71-mcrypt php71-xdebug
```

### Windows

[](#windows)

TBC

Installing
----------

[](#installing)

To create a new project in a directory called `myproject' run the following command.

```
composer create-project --no-install -s dev previousnext/drupal-project myproject
```

Docker
------

[](#docker)

You will need to install Docker and related tools.

### OS-specific Installation

[](#os-specific-installation)

#### MacOS

[](#macos-1)

Download and install [Docker for Mac](https://www.docker.com/docker-mac)

#### Windows

[](#windows-1)

Download and install [Docker for Windows](https://www.docker.com/docker-windows)

Download and install [Make for Windows](http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/make.htm)

#### Linux

[](#linux)

You know what you're doing, right?

Docker Compose
--------------

[](#docker-compose)

Due to networking, and file system performance issues in Docker for Mac, you need a slightly different docker-compose.yml file for MacOS. To simplify your commands, we recommend creating an alias in `~/.bashrc` such as:

```
alias dc='docker-compose -f docker-compose.osx.yml'

```

To start the container, run:

```
dc up -d
```

Setup and Install Drupal
------------------------

[](#setup-and-install-drupal)

For simplicity, run all commands from within the php container. You can get shell access via:

```
dc exec app bash

```

To initialise your local dev environment run the following:

```
make install
```

Developer Options
-----------------

[](#developer-options)

To set up common developer options, run:

```
make devify
```

Install a contrib module
------------------------

[](#install-a-contrib-module)

The easiest way to install a contrib module to work on is via composer.

For example, to work on pathauto, type the following:

```
composer require drupal/pathauto --prefer-source

```

Testing
-------

[](#testing)

To run tests, run:

```
make test
```
