Drupal 8 Custom Factory version 0.1.0

This project is just a SANDBOX for the moment. No stable version is provided yet

• The goals
• Installation
• Compatibility

The goals are

• Provide a Drupal 8 STANDALONE DISTRIBUTION (profiles, set of modules, theme, tools, npm/composer packages, angularJS 2 API for Drupal 8, versions management...) for developers and services companies to develop multi-sites Drupal8 / AngularJS2 ( / Ionic 2 ) (with material design) projects.
• Provide profiles by use case:
  • internet site:
    • Angular-Drupal single page application (with ionic) (with material design)
    • Angular-Drupal multi-pages site
    • Drupal site
  • intranet:
    • Angular-Drupal single page site
    • Angular-Drupal multi-pages site
    • Drupal site
• Find a way for backend developers to work with frontend developers in same time (frontend should do not have to wait data from backend to work).
• In case of single page application, avoid problem of SEO with angular by using of snapshot auto generated by Drupal.
• DCF is standalone (composer, nodejs and packages are downloaded locally in the project, no global tool needed). Only PHP CLI and a web server are needed. Environment variables are not used.
• Stay 100% compatible Drupal, Angular, Ionic. (No core modifications, Drupal, Angular and Other libraries are downloaded from official sources and use latest version)
• Provide a Drupal distribution with a maximum quality for redactor to manage content, images... (pre-configured roles and permissions for administrator redactor and anonymous user, pre-configured CKEditor, a set of mandatories modules: pathauto...) (Improved backoffice capability : imageMagik ...), based on Drupal 7 custom factory
• DCF manage drupal multi-sites with or without apache aliases automaticaly (http://example.com/alias)
