- Brief description:
- Do you maintain modules that provide configuration files? There’s a module that can help manage them.
- Module name/project name:
- Brief history
- How old: created in Apr 2014 by chx, though recent releases are by Joachim Noreiko (joachim)
- Versions available: 8.x-1.11, which works with Drupal 9.3, 10, and 11
- Maintainership
- Actively maintained
- Security coverage
- Test coverage
- Number of open issues: 36 open issues, 7 of which are bugs
- Usage stats:
- 2,391 sites
- Module features and usage
- The module really provides three useful features. First, it can ensure specific configuration files are automatically imported on every request, as though the contents were pasted into the core “single import” form
- Second, it can automatically export specific configuration objects into files whenever the object is updated. You provide a list of filenames and the module will derive the objects that need to be exported.
- Finally, it provides a drush command that can be used to generate all the necessary configuration files for a specific project. You put a list of the files into the project’s info.yml file, and then with a single command a fresh copy of all the specified files will be generated and placed directly into the project’s configuration folder.
- For obvious reasons this is not something you should ever have enabled in production, so definitely a best practice to pull this in using the require-dev composer command
