dripyard_tools
Dripyard Tools is an open-source Drupal module that provides shared utilities, extensions, and examples used to build sites with Dripyard premium themes.
The module acts as a companion layer for Dripyard themes, offering reusable functionality that would otherwise be duplicated across projects. This includes form hooks, Views plugins, helpers, and other extensibility points that make it easier to implement consistent patterns when building real-world sites on top of Dripyard.
While Dripyard Tools is designed to integrate tightly with Dripyard themes (which are commercially licensed), the module itself is fully open source. Some features are theme-aware and only activate when a Dripyard theme is present, while others are intentionally generic and can be used on non-Dripyard sites as well.
A key goal of the module is to serve as a reference implementation. The codebase demonstrates practical, modern Drupal patterns—showing how to extend forms, add custom Views behavior, and structure reusable functionality in a maintainable way. Developers can use these implementations directly or adapt them for their own projects.
Features
- Shared utilities used across Dripyard premium themes
- Form hooks and enhancements tailored for real site-building workflows
- Custom Views plugins and integrations
- Theme-aware functionality that activates when Dripyard themes are installed
- General-purpose examples useful beyond Dripyard projects
Intended Audience
- Developers building sites with Dripyard premium themes
- Drupal developers looking for clean, real-world examples of extensibility
- Teams who want a structured, reusable foundation for custom site features
Dripyard Tools is not required to use Dripyard themes, but it significantly reduces boilerplate and provides a well-tested starting point for common functionality.
