README

          

This contains the source files for the "*Omnipedia - Menu*" Drupal module, which
provides menu items and menu-related functionality for
[Omnipedia](https://omnipedia.app/).

⚠️ ***[Why open source? / Spoiler warning](https://omnipedia.app/open-source)***

*Please note that [all development and issue tracking is done on The GitLab logo GitLab](https://gitlab.com/neurocracy/omnipedia/modules/omnipedia-menu).*

# Description

This contains most of Omnipedia's menu and menu item-related code.

Of particular note is the custom menu link entity, its associated plug-in and
deriver, forms, a constraint validator, access control handler, and route
controller; this custom menu link is very similar to the one offered by Drupal
core with one crucial difference: instead of pointing to a discrete route or
path, it points to a wiki node title which allows it to vary by the simulated
wiki date.

Additionally, this module contains the [route controller for the random
page](/src/Controller/RandomPageController.php) menu item.

----

# Requirements

* [Drupal 9.5, 10, or 11](https://www.drupal.org/download) ([Drupal 8 is end-of-life](https://www.drupal.org/psa-2021-11-30))

* PHP 8.1

* [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/)

## Drupal dependencies

Before attempting to install this, you must add the Composer repositories as
described in the installation instructions for these dependencies:

* The [`omnipedia_core`](https://gitlab.com/neurocracy/omnipedia/modules/omnipedia-core), [`omnipedia_date`](https://gitlab.com/neurocracy/omnipedia/modules/omnipedia-date), and [`omnipedia_main_page`](https://gitlab.com/neurocracy/omnipedia/modules/omnipedia-main-page) modules.

# Installation

## Composer

### Set up

Ensure that you have your Drupal installation set up with the correct Composer
installer types such as those provided by [the `drupal/recommended-project`
template](https://www.drupal.org/docs/develop/using-composer/starting-a-site-using-drupal-composer-project-templates#s-drupalrecommended-project).
If you're starting from scratch, simply requiring that template and following
[the Drupal.org Composer
documentation](https://www.drupal.org/docs/develop/using-composer/starting-a-site-using-drupal-composer-project-templates)
should get you up and running.

### Repository

In your root `composer.json`, add the following to the `"repositories"` section:

```json
{
"type": "vcs",
"url": "https://gitlab.com/neurocracy/omnipedia/modules/omnipedia-menu.git",
"only": ["drupal/omnipedia_menu"]
}
```

### Patching

This module provides [one or more patches](#patches). These can be applied automatically by the the [`cweagans/composer-patches`](https://github.com/cweagans/composer-patches) Composer plug-in. If you're not already using it in your project, you need to install it:

```shell
composer require 'cweagans/composer-patches:^1.7 || ^2.0'
```

If you're using the 1.x version of the plug-in, you'll also need to run:

```shell
composer config extra.enable-patching true
composer config --json --merge extra.patchLevel '{"drupal/core": "-p2"}'
```

Note that you should remove these once you upgrade to `cweagans/composer-patches:^2.0` as 2.0 no longer uses that configuration.

### Installing

Once you've completed all of the above, run `composer require
"drupal/omnipedia_menu:^4.0@dev"` in the root of your project to have
Composer install this and its required dependencies for you.

## Patches

This module provides [a Drupal core
patch](https://www.drupal.org/project/drupal/issues/3165305#comment-14058586);
this can be automatically applied if you have [`cweagans/composer-patches`
installed and
configured to allow patching from dependencies](https://github.com/cweagans/composer-patches#allowing-patches-to-be-applied-from-dependencies).

# Major breaking changes

The following major version bumps indicate breaking changes:
