This project is the Yeoman generator we use at Inuits to quickly generate the new Drupal projects. It generates the Makefiles we use to build our projects using drush make, the basic installation profile, the theme and the base feature.
First install Yeoman, if you have not yet done so.
sudo npm install -g yoThen clone this repository
git clone git@github.com:Inuits/generator-drupal.gitFinally link it as a npm module
cd generator-drupal
sudo npm linkTo create and setup a project using this generator we follow a few steps. First we generate the basic project structure. Then we build the entire Drupal tree using drush make. Then you need to create your configuration (the settings.php file). Finally you can install the project using your newly generated installation profile.
So let's do this. First run yo in an empty folder where you want to generate a project:
yo drupalAfter answering some questions regarding the project name and readable project name, you are now ready to download Drupal core and some contrib-modules. To do this:
makeThen it's time to generate the configuration. Each developer who will work on the project will have to do this.
yo drupal:configFinally it's time to install the Drupal site. As you will be developing the site, let's also enable some development modules which will not be enabled on your staging/production servers.
make devinstallThe generated Makefile has some different commands. Here are the most useful ones:
make: By default the Makefile will completely rebuild your Drupal, usingdrush makemake install: Install your Drupal site using the installation profilemake dev: Enable development modules and additional configuration for use during development. Note that each developer can further customize these to his personal preferences by writing aMakefile.customfile (seeMakefile.custom.samplefor an example)make devinstall: combine theinstallanddevsteps
