Creating Default Content

Instructions on how to use the Default Content module to create default content for a recipe.

Enable the Default Content module.

The module is required in the dev section. It is not required in production.

fin drush en -y default_content

Exporting content

Content can be exported to a module or recipe, but we want to export to a recipe so we do not need the default_content module on production. We can apply a recipe to import the content.

1. Create a recipe at [project-root]/recipes/[recipe-name]

The recipe only needs to have a folder with it's name and a recipe.yml with

name: 'Example'
description: 'Demo content for example.'
type: 'Content'

2. Create a /content folder in that recipe.

3. Export the content you want.

drush dcer [entity_type] [bundle or ID] --folder=../recipes/[recipe-name]/content

dcer gets all the dependencies of the entity you are exporting.

Available [entity_type]s:

• node
• menu_link_content
• taxonomy_term
• media
• user

4. Disable the module when done.

fin drush pmu -y default_content
