Drupal Development Environment

In addition to the Drupal Environment, this tool can be installed when developing Drupal modules, themes or styling pages. This composer plugin builds all necessary infrastructure for a Drupal project to make development very handy. To get more information about tools, see L3D and Drupal Projects.

Testing

It provides a massive amount of testing tools, which can be executed out of the box using Ahoy. To get an overview, just execute:

a test --help

This will print out a list with all available tools:

• Dependency Analysis
• PHP Unit
• PHP Code Sniffer
• PHPStan
• PHP Lint
• PHP LOC
• PHP Mess Detector
• PHP Metrics
• Stylelint
• Eslint
• Cspell

Working with Themes

The development plugin provides tools, that are common for working with themes in Drupal:

• Node.js
• Gulp.js

Now you can create or use existing package.json or gulp.js files for building your css, e.g. using Sass. See more information here.
