Config Partial Export
This module provides a way for developers to export only selected modified configuration files to a tarball. This allows for quicker updating of configuration in an installation profile or when applying changes to a site.
Config Partial Export is a lightweight features-like module for developers. It is able to export to a tarball only modified configuration files shown in Admin > Configuration > Configuration Management > Synchronize (on the /admin/config/development/configuration URL path) tab. After enabling the module click on the Partial Export tab and select the files you want to export. Also, you can add the system.site.yml file to the package. After export, copy the files from the tarball to your config/install/ folder and add them to your install profile or apply those changes to the next installment of the site.
How it works
- Adds Partial config tab to Configuration Management page
- Exports only the selected files from the list of modified config files
- Adds to the export list
system.site.ymlfile if requested
Generate content
Accelerate development of your site by quickly exporting to a tarball the selected config files. This way the developers can easily copy those files to the config/install/ folder with no need to find them among the files of a full export. The module is useful for developers working in a team but we suggest to use it by single developers as well.
Drush command
The module provides a custom command for Drush. See its manpage: drush cpex --help.
