This project provides a pre-configured Drupal installation setup to streamline development. It includes core Drupal features and a set of commonly used contributed modules with their initial configurations, serving as a foundation for new projects.

The Velir Base recipe is designed to do the following:

  • Install certain parts of Standard install profile that we want
  • Set specific contributed module configuration
  • Provide a starting point for Drupal ready to develop features for without wasting too much time on the post-install ceremony.

This is a carry over of the work first started in this repository: https://gitlab.com/kevinquillen/drupal-base

This recipe ships with the following modules with minor configuration out of the box to how we typically start projects. It contains the following modules we use the most:

  • Config ignore
  • Field group
  • Gin
  • Gin Login
  • Gin Toolbar
  • Key
  • Memcache
  • Menu Block
  • Menu Breadcrumb
  • Metatag
  • Pathauto
  • Redirect
  • Robotstxt
  • Search API
  • Search API Solr
  • SecKit

Installing

- Start with a Drupal 10 site.
- Require the recipe with

ddev composer require drupal/velir_base:^1.0

- Install the 'Minimal' profile.
- Apply the recipe

The recipe can be applied with PHP in Drupal 10.3+.

Execute this command from the web root:

php core/scripts/drupal recipe recipes/velir_base

Or by using `ddev exec`

ddev exec -d /var/www/html/(your docroot) php core/scripts/drupal recipe recipes/velir_base

If all goes well, you should see the following output:

[OK] Velir Base applied successfully
