Development

• For most of the tasks bellow there is a Robo command available. Run ./vendor/bin/robo to get the list of available commands.
• We use .env file for Database credentials and environment mode. See docs/settings/.env.example for reference.
• According to the env variable "MODE" we include automatically the related MODE.settings.local.php file.
• There are 3 available MODE options: dev, stg, prd.
• All files under docs folder are tracked by vcs. Do not edit them for local development.
• An additional local settings.local.php file can be added manually under web/sites/default/ folder. This file is not tracked by vcs.
• Check web/sites/default/settings.php for all the above instructions.
• DDEV (https://ddev.readthedocs.io) was used for initial local development. Just run ddev start && ddev robo site:install and you will get a fresh copy of the website.
• When exporting configuration with drush cex there is a list of excluded modules. See docs/global.settings.php:$settings['config_exclude_modules']
• We use git as VCS.
• Branch master is the development main branch. There are no dev or stage branches.
• We use GitHub pull requests and feature branches.
• For every new branch you create add the Jira issue prefix (eg PROJ-77). Example PROJ-77_basic_structure.
• Add the Jira issue prefix (eg PROJ-79) on every git commit. Example: PROJ-77: Create basic Drupal entity structure. There is a git hook to validate git commits.
• We try to use git conventional commits. See https://www.conventionalcommits.org. Add fix, feat, docs, test, refactor etc after the project Issue number. Example: PROJ-85: feat, My new feature
• We create CHANGELOG.md file from branch merges using https://github.com/marcocesarato/php-conventional-changelog. We automate this process with the command composer release:patch
• All the database updates (hook_update_N), universal CSS/JS changes and global hooks should be done on module custom/GLOBAL_CUSTOM_MODULE.
