<p>I recently sent a database to a client whose new Drupal website I'm building.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>I'd populated it with some default users, nodes and menu links that they'd be able to review after they import the database into their hosting.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>That worked well, but I've also recently been using the <a href="https://www.drupal.org/project/default_content">Default Content module</a> which exports entities into YAML and saves them as code alongside the configuration.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Now I can install the website from scratch using the exported configuration to re-add the content types, block types, etc, and by enabling a custom module, all the default content will also be recreated.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>I can tear the site down now and rebuild it as often as I like and avoid contaminating my environment with any rogue configuration or content changes.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Everything is reproducible.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>I also wouldn't have needed to send the database to the client. They could have installed Drupal and followed the same steps I would do locally and got exactly the same result.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>I like this approach and can see me using it more on future projects.</p>
