Group relationship export

The Group Relationship Export module improves the drush site:export command for Drupal sites using the Group module.

It ensures that group relationships are exported cleanly by excluding sensitive membership data and correctly handling entity dependencies.

Features

• Fixed group relationship dependency tracking: Fixes issues where referenced entities in group relationships were not correctly identified as dependencies during export.
• UUID-based references: Ensures that exported group relationships use UUIDs instead of local IDs, making the exported content portable across different environments.
• (Optional) Exclude memberships: Automatically prevents group_membership entities from being exported. This is for avoiding the inclusion of user data in reusable site recipes or default content. Assumption: You don't want to export the users and their relationships, only the group content and be able to start your site just with UID 1.

Post-Installation

Once installed, the module works automatically by subscribing to the pre-export events of the site:export command.

Optionally, you can de-activate the "Exclude memberships" feature on the module's config page (/admin/config/development/group-relationship-export).

Then simply run your standard Drush export command:

drush site:export

The module will intercept the process to apply the improvements to group-related data.

Additional Requirements

• Group module (supports versions compatible with Group 3.x and 4.x).
• Drupal Core 10.3 or higher.

Recommended modules/libraries

There are no additional recommended modules at this time, but it is recommended to use this in conjunction with the Default Content or Recipes workflow where site:export is utilized, because otherwise you likely won't need it.
