To be on the safe side I would recommend to do this in a new folder and not replacing productive drupal folder. Afterwards we upload composer modified drupal site files on the web server (shared hosting). Make changes to drupal files locally using Composer package manager.

First download your existing drupal 8 site (at least Drupal 8.8.0). Therefore we can use composer locally on our PC. Do the instructions here on your own risk.Ĭomposer affects only drupal files and has nothing to do with the data base. It should be easy to get it.įirst of all before doing any changes backup your database and drupal site files. The resources for using Composer I'm describing here involves PC, internet connection and ftp connection to your site. If you are running a small site certainly due to cost reasons you will not host it on a dedicated server, but will use shared hosting instead.

But SSH access and respectively using composer on a shared hosting is not possible because hosting provider does not allow it for security reasons. I have no idea how many drupal sites are hosted on a shared hosting. The problem: Composer will run only if you have direct access to the server. At least this is what I use composer for.

It is used to update your drupal installation and to PROPERLY add any contributed modules including any required dependencies. It is a a package management tool or we can call it dependency management tool similar to Synaptic Package manager in Ubuntu/Linux. Since the key word here is Composer few words about it. It might be similar with some themes installation. For example /project/minifyjs and /project/recaptcha will not work if installed without composer.

Even contributed modules will not install without composer. Integrating external library described above does not always work. With regard to any external libraries activating module Library API and downloading external library into /sites/all/libraries/name_library was very enough. Earlier up to Drupal 7 it was always possible to add a contributed model simply by downloading it from /project/name_ contributed_model or copy tar.gz link from module release site. I currently use drupal 8 for a Hotel website īuilding up your site with drupal 8 is slightly different with regard to external libraries integration.

I have started with Drupa 6, later on used Drupal 7, and since few months decided to move on Drupal 8. I’ m not a webmaster and never had the intention to use it professionally. I have been using Drupal for many years started 2010. The intention is not becoming an expert, but to spend less time on learning composer. My goal with this article is to help people without experience in composer to be able to use it easy in order to add some drupal contributed module which absolutely requires composer.
