# Template scripts

A set of scaffolding tools for use at Axelerant. Currently, it supports:

- [Drupal](#init-drupal)
- [Lando](#init-lando)
- [GitLab](#init-gitlab)

## Requirements

You need Python 3.7+ and pip to install and use this script. Follow [these instructions](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installing/) to install pip if you don't already have it.

The script relies on certain developer tools to be available when running.

- git - To initialize the project as a repository.
- composer - To download the dependencies. If composer is not present, the dependencies don't get downloaded.

Alternatively, you can use Docker to run this command. See the section below on usage with Docker for more information.

## Installation

Install this script via `pip` (or `pip3`). You can use the command to upgrade the command as well.

```bash
pip3 install --upgrade axl-template
```

## Usage with Docker _(alternate)_

Docker support is experimental right now and may throw errors. If you face issues with Docker support, please report an issue. To run `init-drupal` with Docker, run this command (for bash):

```bash
docker run -v $(pwd):/workdir axelerant/template:latest
```

The `ENTRYPOINT` is set to `init-drupal` and you can override it if you want to run other commands.

```bash
docker run -v $(pwd):/workdir -e init-lando axelerant/template:latest
```

You can set aliases so that you don't have to type these commands every time.

```bash
alias init-drupal='docker run -v $(pwd):/workdir axelerant/template'
alias init-lando='docker run -v $(pwd):/workdir -e init-lando axelerant/template'
```

### Usage with whalebrew

The Docker image works with [whalebrew](https://github.com/whalebrew/whalebrew). You can install the Docker image using the following:

```bash
whalebrew install axelerant/template
```

You can then use the command `init-drupal` as normal. Whalebrew takes care of the Docker syntax for you.

### Updating with Docker

Docker images are tagged along with each tagged version. The `latest` Docker tag will point to the latest tagged release. You can update the Docker image on your machine similar to any other Docker machine.

```bash
docker pull axelerant/template
```

## init-drupal

(*Requires Python 3.7+*)

Scaffold a Drupal codebase in a subdirectory.

### Usage for init-drupal

```bash
Usage: init-drupal [OPTIONS] NAME

Scaffold a Drupal site template

Create a Drupal site template with NAME. Where NAME is the name of your
application package (e.g., axelerant/site)

Options:
--directory DIRECTORY Directory where the files should be set up
(e.g., drupal). The directory will be
emptied. The default is based on the
specified name.

--description TEXT Description of the package
-core, --core-package [core|recommended]
Select the core package
--core Select the drupal/core package
--recommended Select the drupal/core-recommended package
--core-version TEXT Drupal core version [default: ^9.4.0]
-m, -p, --module, --package COMPOSER_PACKAGE
Specify Drupal module names or PHP packages
--docroot PATH The document root
--cache [redis|memcache] Add a cache service
--lando Add Lando support
--gitlab Add GitLab support
-f, --force Force delete the target directory if it
exists

--help Show this message and exit.
```

### Example

```bash
init-drupal axelerant/site --cache redis --core -m admin_toolbar
```

The above command will generate a composer.json and in a `drupal` directory and run `composer install`. It will use the regular `drupal/core` package along with the Redis module and few other packages. Finally, it will add the admin_toolbar module as well.

## init-lando

(*Requires Python 3.7+*)

Scaffold Lando configuration for a Drupal site in the current directory.

### Usage for init-lando

```bash
usage: init-lando
```

No options are required. The tool reads the composer.json file and sets up the Lando configuration accordingly. It also sets up a `settings.lando.php` file to include Lando specific database and caching configuration.

Lando support can also be added when running `init-drupal` by passing the `--lando` option.

## init-gitlab

(*Requires Python 3.7+*)

Scaffold GitLab configuration for a Drupal site in the current directory.

### Usage for init-gitlab

```bash
usage: init-gitlab
```

No options are required. The tool reads the composer.json file and sets up the GitLab CI configuration accordingly. It also enables loading `settings.local.php` from `settings.php` so that Drupal can use proper database configuration during a CI run.

These files are created by `init-gitlab` in the `.gitlab` directory and copied by a shell script (`ci.sh`). The `.gitlab-ci.yml` file is created in the project root directly.

GitLab support can also be added when running `init-drupal` by passing the `--gitlab` option.
