Update Your Drupal Projects to Composer 2

Composer 2.0 was recently released with much improved performance in fetching and updating dependencies. If you are running projects on Drupal 8 or 9, you are going to want to switch as soon as you can.

Using Private Repos in Composer and TravisCI

Using Private Repos in Composer and TravisCI

In my last post, I detailed how you can add new repository endpoints in your composer.json file for your own repos.

This is working great for the projects we are currently working on, but I ran into a snag when I setup a TravisCI build - TravisCI was unable to authenticate and pulldown from that repository. Since it is private, even if you change the url from the ssh url to the https url for the repo, it will still return a 404 error.

Adding Your Pattern Lab as a Composer Dependency

Adding Your Pattern Lab as a Composer Dependency

On a recent project, we had taken a Pattern Lab based prototype and created a Drupal 8 theme from it. In order to track updates and stay independent of the work happening by the front end team, I added the Pattern Lab repo to the project as a git submodule.

This is a practical approach, and for all intents and purposes, it worked, but it just didn’t feel right within the Drupal 8 architecture.

Adding Composer Packages to Drupal 8

Adding Composer Packages to Drupal 8

Adding Composer packages to Drupal 8 is pretty easy.

There is a module called Composer Manager that can be used to add packages that modules require, but there are instances where you just need a package (and no need to create a module).

A great example of this is the Drupal Behat Extension. If you’re like me and do a lot of behavior driven development, you likely have this, and if not, you need to get it.
