Module scaffold

Module scaffold is an example of a Drupal module.

We recommend creating a custom ys_base module for your project to hold general-purpose functionality that doesn’t belong in a dedicated, feature-specific module.

The ys prefix is abbreviated from your project name (your_site in this case). We recommend using this technique to prefix all modules, and use the site machine name for a theme name.

Deploy file​

The ys_base.deploy.php file is an example of a Drush deploy file that can be used to run deployment commands during the site provisioning process.

Tests scaffold​

The tests directory contains working examples of tests that can be used as a starting point in your project.

It also has a set of helper Traits that you may find useful when writing your tests. Simply remove them if you do not find them useful.

See Development for more details on how to work with the custom modules.
