1. Build Instructions

Requirements

• PHP 7.0.*
• Composer 1.0.0+

Building Drupal

To start a new project based on Skeletor in [target-dir-name], run:

Open composer.json in some-dir and add "enable-patching": true in the "extra" section.

Now add skeletor as a dependency to your build:

Once skeletor has successfully been added to the build we need to include scaffold files provided by skeletor. By default you will get Acquia cloud hooks, travis scripts, a .gitignore file to use on production and a .travis.yml file with sensible defaults. From the project root:

In order to create a sub profile based on Skeletor, you have to apply a patch to Drupal core (until it's incorporated into core). To do so, add the following to your

Then connect your new project to a git repository, from the project folder run:

Customizing your build

Skeletor ships with composer scripts which can be viewed inside skeletor/scripts/composer. These can be added to your composer.json to automate parts of your build.

These scripts run during composer install or composer update so you will have to execute those again.

Script List

• Skeletor\\composer\\PHPCSHandler::installDrupalSniffs

  PHP Code Sniffer is installed at the project level. Because Drupal has unique lint rules we include them with the coder project. This script attaches the Drupal specific lint rules to PHP Code Sniffer.

• Skeletor\\composer\\ProductionHandler::installNPM

  Searches project directories and runs npm install in directories where package.json is discovered.

• Skeletor\\composer\\ProductionBuild::placeGitIgnore

  Looks for prod.gitignore in the project root and copies it to .gitignore. This is useful as a deploy step for Acquia.

• Skeletor\\composer\\ProductionBuild::removeGitFolders

  Searches project directories looking for .git directories which signify a git repository. It removes the discovered .git directories to prepare these dependencies to be committed to the Acquia deployment repository.

Full Example

Example of the scripts section of your composer.json.

Adjusting Drupal files

You can make adjustments to files provided by Drupal directly, such as settings.php, .htaccess, or robots.txt.

Commit the file with the changes in it's desired place within the docroot (web), such as robots.txt. Add it to drupal-scaffold:excludes array in composer.json, to prevent it from being overwritten during the build process.

By default, we have excluded the settings.php file in the build process already. You can read more about further customizing the drupal build process at the Drupal-Scaffold documentation.

2. Layout

With 8.2.x we have pared Skeletor down to an install profile.

Skeletor will be installed within a drupal-project composer build: guidelines for a Drupal 8 composer project.

Skeletor profile is installed in web/profiles/contrib/skeletor

Installation of Skeletor will scaffold the project with the following:

• A starter .travis.yml to ease CI.
• Default Acquia cloud hooks are symlinked to the project root. You are free remove the symlink and implement your own hooks.
• PHP Codesniffer installed as a project dependency with Drupal code sniffs pre-installed.
• Drush alias boilerplate.
• local configuration files (settings.local.php, etc)
• Opt In git hooks which can be linked into the project .git/hooks directory.

3. Theme

Skeletor has a base theme (barebones) and one starterkit sub-theme that implements Bootstrap. Teams that want to create a child theme that is based on a different framework, they can base them off the base theme.

• A Starterkit child theme (STARTERKIT) theme to be used as starting point for a new theme.

C. Starterkit (STARTERKIT) features

• Bootstrap
• Linters (sass-linter, eslint)
• Live style guide
• Templates for common features
• Webpack integration
• Images in src/images moved and optimized to dist/images dir

8. Production Build Requirements

Trusted host security setting in Drupal 8

Drupal 8 supports trusted host patterns, where you can (and should) specify a set of regular expressions that the domains on incoming requests must match. It is important to setup them before deploying to ACQUIA or PANTHEON environments.
