To follow along with our Drupal Views tutorials, set up a Drupal site loaded with our 4 custom views and baseball stats content that will make querying in Views a bit more interesting and meaningful.
By the end of this tutorial, you should choose a solution and follow the instructions for creating a Drupal site loaded with our starting point content and views.
Goal
- Set up a Drupal site with a starting point containing baseball stats content and 4 custom views.
Prerequisites
- Ability/permissions to download software to your local machine.
- To use DDEV, you should have DDEV installed (which has its own set of prerequisites, such as Docker). See DDEV Documentation and follow the installation instructions for your operating system. You should also be comfortable using the command line to navigate the file system and run commands. See Command Line Basics if needed.
No-install alternative
- Feel free to use our Create a Sandbox button, which will create a Drupal application instance via Tugboat in a new browser window. Use it to walk-through the tutorials in this series. Learn more in this blog post: Sandboxes Now Available for Drupal Views Tutorials. (Note: the sandbox has been updated to Drupal 9.)
Recommendation: Use DDEV to install Drupal
We’ll use DDEV to install Drupal and import a database starting point that contains the content and views for our Views in Drupal tutorials. We’ve copied instructions from the Drupal Official Docs Local Development Guide in the following steps.
Exercise: Install Drupal with special content and configuration
Install DDEV
To use DDEV to install Drupal, you’ll need to install DDEV and its prerequisites, most importantly, Docker.
Go to the DDEV installation docs and follow the specific steps to install DDEV-Local for your computer’s operating system.
Create a new Drupal application
Choose a location for your local Drupal site, then run the following commands to create a new Drupal application via Composer. (Replace my-site-name with whatever you want to call your project directory). Or, use the ddev composer command if you don’t have Composer installed on your machine.
The export command is optional and makes it easier to copy and paste commands in this step and the next. You could skip the export line and replace $SITE_NAME with the name of your directory, i.e. my-site-name.
# Replace my-site-name!
export SITE_NAME=my-site-name
composer create-project drupal/recommended-project $SITE_NAME
cd $SITE_NAME
This will create a new directory and populate it with Drupal (and its dependencies).
Configure environment to serve your Drupal application
You now have a Drupal codebase. Next, you will need to configure your local development environment to serve that new codebase. At minimum, this requires creating a new database for Drupal and configuring the web server to serve Drupal content at a particular URL.
Run the following command (assumes DDEV):
ddev config --docroot web --project-name $SITE_NAME --project-type drupal9
Alternatively, type ddev config and it will walk you through the options, step-by-step.
This will configure your new Drupal application to work with DDEV and will store the generated configuration in a new .ddev subdirectory.
Next, start the DDEV container:
ddev start
You now have a web server and database server configured and running.
