# Composer template for Drupal projects
|
|
|
|
[](https://travis-ci.org/drupal-composer/drupal-project)
|
|
|
|
This project template provides a starter kit for managing your site
|
|
dependencies with [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/).
|
|
|
|
If you want to know how to use it as replacement for
|
|
[Drush Make](https://github.com/drush-ops/drush/blob/8.x/docs/make.md) visit
|
|
the [Documentation on drupal.org](https://www.drupal.org/node/2471553).
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
First you need to [install composer](https://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md#installation-linux-unix-osx).
|
|
|
|
> Note: The instructions below refer to the [global composer installation](https://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md#globally).
|
|
You might need to replace `composer` with `php composer.phar` (or similar)
|
|
for your setup.
|
|
|
|
After that you can create the project:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
composer create-project drupal-composer/drupal-project:8.x-dev some-dir --no-interaction
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
With `composer require ...` you can download new dependencies to your
|
|
installation.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
cd some-dir
|
|
composer require drupal/devel:~1.0
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The `composer create-project` command passes ownership of all files to the
|
|
project that is created. You should create a new git repository, and commit
|
|
all files not excluded by the .gitignore file.
|
|
|
|
## What does the template do?
|
|
|
|
When installing the given `composer.json` some tasks are taken care of:
|
|
|
|
* Drupal will be installed in the `web`-directory.
|
|
* Autoloader is implemented to use the generated composer autoloader in `vendor/autoload.php`,
|
|
instead of the one provided by Drupal (`web/vendor/autoload.php`).
|
|
* Modules (packages of type `drupal-module`) will be placed in `web/modules/contrib/`
|
|
* Theme (packages of type `drupal-theme`) will be placed in `web/themes/contrib/`
|
|
* Profiles (packages of type `drupal-profile`) will be placed in `web/profiles/contrib/`
|
|
* Creates default writable versions of `settings.php` and `services.yml`.
|
|
* Creates `web/sites/default/files`-directory.
|
|
* Latest version of drush is installed locally for use at `vendor/bin/drush`.
|
|
* Latest version of DrupalConsole is installed locally for use at `vendor/bin/drupal`.
|
|
* Creates environment variables based on your .env file. See [.env.example](.env.example).

## Updating Drupal Core
|
|
|
|
This project will attempt to keep all of your Drupal Core files up-to-date; the
|
|
project [drupal-composer/drupal-scaffold](https://github.com/drupal-composer/drupal-scaffold)
|
|
is used to ensure that your scaffold files are updated every time drupal/core is
|
|
updated. If you customize any of the "scaffolding" files (commonly .htaccess),
|
|
you may need to merge conflicts if any of your modified files are updated in a
|
|
new release of Drupal core.
|
|
|
|
Follow the steps below to update your core files.
|
|
|
|
1. Run `composer update drupal/core webflo/drupal-core-require-dev symfony/* --with-dependencies` to update Drupal Core and its dependencies.
|
|
1. Run `git diff` to determine if any of the scaffolding files have changed.
|
|
Review the files for any changes and restore any customizations to
|
|
`.htaccess` or `robots.txt`.
|
|
1. Commit everything all together in a single commit, so `web` will remain in
|
|
sync with the `core` when checking out branches or running `git bisect`.
|
|
1. In the event that there are non-trivial conflicts in step 2, you may wish
|
|
to perform these steps on a branch, and use `git merge` to combine the
|
|
updated core files with your customized files. This facilitates the use
|
|
of a [three-way merge tool such as kdiff3](http://www.gitshah.com/2010/12/how-to-setup-kdiff-as-diff-tool-for-git.html). This setup is not necessary if your changes are simple;
|
|
keeping all of your modifications at the beginning or end of the file is a
|
|
good strategy to keep merges easy.
|
|
|
|
## Generate composer.json from existing project
|
|
|
|
With using [the "Composer Generate" drush extension](https://www.drupal.org/project/composer_generate)
|
|
you can now generate a basic `composer.json` file from an existing project. Note
|
|
that the generated `composer.json` might differ from this project's file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## FAQ
|
|
|
|
### Should I commit the contrib modules I download?
|
|
|
|
Composer recommends **no**. They provide [argumentation against but also
|
|
workrounds if a project decides to do it anyway](https://getcomposer.org/doc/faqs/should-i-commit-the-dependencies-in-my-vendor-directory.md).
|
|
|
|
### Should I commit the scaffolding files?
|
|
|
|
The [drupal-scaffold](https://github.com/drupal-composer/drupal-scaffold) plugin can download the scaffold files (like
|
|
index.php, update.php, …) to the web/ directory of your project. If you have not customized those files you could choose
|
|
to not check them into your version control system (e.g. git). If that is the case for your project it might be
|
|
convenient to automatically run the drupal-scaffold plugin after every install or update of your project. You can
|
|
achieve that by registering `@composer drupal:scaffold` as post-install and post-update command in your composer.json:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
"scripts": {
|
|
"post-install-cmd": [
|
|
"@composer drupal:scaffold",
|
|
"..."
|
|
],
|
|
"post-update-cmd": [
|
|
"@composer drupal:scaffold",
|
|
"..."
|
|
]
|
|
},
|
|
```
|
|
### How can I apply patches to downloaded modules?
|
|
|
|
If you need to apply patches (depending on the project being modified, a pull
|
|
request is often a better solution), you can do so with the
|
|
[composer-patches](https://github.com/cweagans/composer-patches) plugin.
|
|
|
|
To add a patch to drupal module foobar insert the patches section in the extra
|
|
section of composer.json:
|
|
```json
|
|
"extra": {
|
|
"patches": {
|
|
"drupal/foobar": {
|
|
"Patch description": "URL or local path to patch"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
### How do I switch from packagist.drupal-composer.org to packages.drupal.org?
|
|
|
|
Follow the instructions in the [documentation on drupal.org](https://www.drupal.org/docs/develop/using-composer/using-packagesdrupalorg).
|
|
|
|
### How do I specify a PHP version ?
|
|
|
|
This project supports PHP 5.6 as minimum version (see [Drupal 8 PHP requirements](https://www.drupal.org/docs/8/system-requirements/drupal-8-php-requirements)), however it's possible that a `composer update` will upgrade some package that will then require PHP 7+.
|
|
|
|
To prevent this you can add this code to specify the PHP version you want to use in the `config` section of `composer.json`:
|
|
```json
|
|
"config": {
|
|
"sort-packages": true,
|
|
"platform": {
|
|
"php": "5.6.40"
|
|
}
|
|
},
|
|
```
