The drupal-project repository is quickly becoming the defacto starter for all Drupal 8 projects. In this session, I'll show you:

  • How to quickly spin up a new site with Composer and drupal-project
  • How to take drupal-project and customize it to suit your particular needs
  • How to leverage post-install tasks to keep yourself DRY

The goals of the learnings from this session are to:

  • Save time
  • Follow best practices
  • Make your development experience more enjoyable
  • Look cool in the process

This session is for you if:

  • You've been wanting to try out Composer
  • You already use Composer but want to learn more about the best practices
  • You frequently spin up new sites, whether for module development, agency work, or for funzies
  • You're thinking about using one of the popular distributions (e.g., Lightning)
  • You are a Composer expert, so you can heckle me and point out mistakes

I look forward to seeing you there! (Slides available here)
