NodeHive Presets & Beekeeper

What is it?

Beekeeper is a way to manage “presets” which is a set of configurations for a NodeHive instance. A preset applies all defined configurations as “hard” configurations. Hard means, it’s always overwriting, nevertheless a config was set via UI. It’s a similar concept like Drupal recipes.

Why?

This is useful, because we want to provide a basic set of configurations with NodeHive Core and there is no other way to do that when updating NodeHive.

Drush commands

Install NodeHive core preset:

drush beekeeper:install
# Equivalent to the line above
drush beekeeper:install --preset=core

You can create your own presets and apply as follows:

drush beekeeper:install --preset=your_preset_name

# To apply NodeHive core preset, run
drush beekeeper:install --preset=nodehive

# To only apply NodeHive core permission preset, run
drush beekeeper:permission:install --preset=nodehive

# To only apply NodeHive core menu preset, run
drush beekeeper:menu:install --preset=nodehive

# To only apply NodeHive core drush commands preset, run
drush beekeeper:drush:install --preset=nodehive

Create a custom preset

In your custom module, create the following folders and files:

> yourmodule
  > config
    > beekeper
      > your_preset_name (use any name you like)
        > default
          /{add any drupal config yml here}
        > beekeeper.drush.yml
        > beekeeper.menu.yml
        > beekeeper.permission.yml
