Drupal Recipe Unpacking	2025-07-12 22:57:36	drupal	text url New Recipe Unpack composer plugin https://www.drupal.org/node/3522189 text url This Blog Is No Longer on Drupal CMS, and That's a Good Thing https://joshuami.com/blog/2025/recipe-unpack-blog-no-longer-drupal-cms-and-thats-good-thing

Drupal now supports recipe unpacking.

The Recipe Unpacking system is a Composer plugin that manages "drupal-recipe" packages. Recipes are special Composer packages designed to bootstrap Drupal projects with necessary dependencies. When a recipe is required, this plugin "unpacks" it by moving the recipe's dependencies directly into your project's root composer.json, and removes the recipe as a project dependency.

This is added automatically for new projects, but can also be added to existing projects using composer require drupal/core-recipe-unpack and the drupal:recipe-unpack command.
