Module Matrix: Elevating Drupal Module Management

Welcome to Module Matrix—an advanced, intuitive, and fully customizable module management tool built for Drupal. With no dependency on jQuery and a modern interface powered by vanilla JavaScript, Module Matrix is fast, responsive, and brimming with features designed to make module management effortless. The entire form was revamped, replacing tables with a flex/grid layout, and <details> elements were replaced with an accordion. This update applies to both the Install Module and Uninstall Module pages.

No jQuery Dependency

Say goodbye to outdated dependencies! Module Matrix is built with pure JavaScript, ensuring a lightweight and efficient experience. By eliminating reliance on jQuery, it integrates seamlessly with modern web standards while reducing potential conflicts and load times.

Advanced Filter Fields

Module Matrix offers instant client-side search capabilities with powerful filtering options:

• Text Search: Quickly locate modules by name or description using a responsive text field.
• Filter by Status: Choose between Enabled, Disabled, or Unavailable modules using three intuitive checkboxes.
• Filter by Lifecycle: Narrow down modules based on their lifecycle: Active, Deprecated, Experimental, or Obsolete.
• Filter by Stability: Sort modules by their stability level: Stable, RC, Beta, Alpha, or Dev.

Lifecycle vs Stability: Lifecycle defines the current state or usability of a module (e.g., active or deprecated), while stability focuses on its development stage (e.g., stable or in beta testing).

A reset button allows you to clear all filters instantly, ensuring effortless navigation.

Package Links for Better Insights

Modules are grouped by package, with intuitive visual indicators to highlight their state:

• Grey: Displays the total number of modules in a package.
• Green: Indicates the number of enabled modules.
• Red: Highlights the number of disabled modules.

All links use Google Material Icons, adding a modern and cohesive visual touch to the interface.

Enhanced Module List

The module list is split into two sections for better organization:

1. Name and Package: Always displayed, this section includes a checkbox for enabling/disabling modules, along with the module name and its package.
2. Details Section: Fully customizable, this section allows users to choose what information to display, including Machine Name, Version, Lifecycle, Stability, Requires, Required By, Status, Project, Subpath, Last Modified, and Links (Help, Permissions, Configure, Issue Link, Usage Link). Each option is styled with custom Google Material Icons for clarity. I made the module name clickable, allowing users to visit its Drupal.org page with each click.
   Smart template design: If no option is selected, it displays the description without an accordion. If two options are selected but one is unavailable, the template intelligently avoids rendering the accordion.

Modern Page Layout

Module Matrix introduces a fully responsive, table-free design using CSS Flex and Grid. Users can select from three layout options:

• Left Layout: Packages are displayed on the left, modules on the right.
• Right Layout: Packages are on the right, modules on the left.
• Top Layout: Packages are displayed at the top, modules at the bottom.

All layouts adapt seamlessly to screen sizes below 992px, ensuring a smooth experience on any device.

Fully Configurable Settings Form

The settings form empowers users to tailor Module Matrix to their exact preferences. Key features include:

• Layout Selection: Choose between Left, Right, or Top layouts.
• Details Customization: Enable or disable specific details in the module list, such as Machine Name, Version, Lifecycle, Stability, and more.
• Grid Layout Option: Switch from a row-based layout to a responsive grid system for a modern look.
• Compact Mode: Activate a minimalist grid layout with essential details only.
• Scroll Toggle: Enable scrolling for long package lists to improve usability.
• Style Mode: Choose between a plain, unstyled interface for full customization or select a light or dark mode. Once a mode is chosen, the accent color options—Teal, Gold, Coral, Indigo, Slate, and Neutral—will become available for selection.

Installation and Setup

1. Download and install Module Matrix from Drupal.org:
