Guidelines for packaging Drupal 8 modules, themes, and profiles
Different Kinds of Packages
- Modules: Modules extend and customize Drupal functionality.
- Themes: Themes allow users to change the look and feel of their Drupal site.
- Distributions/Profiles: Distributions provide site features and functions for a specific type of site.
Naming Scheme
Every package MUST be named drupal8-<drupal_machine_name>. The <drupal_machine_name> MUST match the drupal.org project name (i.e. drupal.org/project/<drupal_machine_name>). Drupal itself enforces unique machine names for each of its' projects and there is a single namespace for all modules, themes, and distributions/profiles.
File Placement
- Modules: A module package MUST be placed in the
%drupal8_modulesdirectory (base "modules/" directory) - Themes: A theme package MUST be placed in the
%drupal8_themesdirectory (base "themes/" directory) - Distributions/Profiles: A distribution/profile package MUST be placed in the
%drupal8_profilesdirectory (base "profiles/" directory)
