Specbee Drupal Startkit
=======================

[](#specbee-drupal-startkit)

A Composer based install method to set up Drupal projects using [Specbee's Robo tooling](https://github.com/SpecbeeLabs/robo-tooling).

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

[](#requirements)

- Lando
- Docker
- PHP >= 7.4
- Composer v2

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

To create a new project, use the `composer-create` command to get the latest composer project.

```
composer create-project specbee/drupal-starterkit:9.x-dev project_name --no-interaction

```

This will scafold the Drupal repository and intialized Git in the directory with an initial commit.

Next step is to configure the project settings at `robo.yml`. Refer the file to make changes to the file as per the project requirements.

Once, done run `composer init-repo` which will:

- Setup Drush aliases
- Configure the Landofile
- Configure Grumphp for checking commits

To create a local.settings.php run `composer setup-local`

Run `lando start` to spin up the containers used to run the application.

Setup a new site or existing site
---------------------------------

[](#setup-a-new-site-or-existing-site)

Once the lando containers are running, run the lando command

```
lando robo setup -n

```

This will install a fresh Drupal site using the installation profile *drupal.profile* mentioned in the `robo.yml`. After which if existing configurations are present those will be imported and theme will be build if present.

Add new Robo commands
---------------------

[](#add-new-robo-commands)

New commands can be added to the `RoboFile.php` available in the project root

```

```
