This Composer plugin assists site template creators by automating scaffolding and code generation tasks specific to Drupal. It's primarily a development tool for those building Drupal site templates, not for end-users of Drupal itself.

This is a Composer plugin to help perform scaffolding and code generation operations needed by site templates. It was developed for Drupal CMS, but it's not really meant for end users; it's a set of tools for people who are creating site templates, and it's included with the Drupal CMS site template starter kit.

This plugin does not include the ability to export a Drupal site as a recipe (drush site:export). For that, you want the Drupal CMS Helper module.

Installation

Because this is a Composer plugin, you need to explicitly enable it before installing:

composer config allow-plugins.drupal/site_template_helper true
composer require drupal/site_template_helper

Features

  • Automatically generates a starter theme when Composer installs a specific site template that calls for it.
