A command line utility for creating custom Drupal modules. Works for Drupal 7 & 8.
Dew is installed through npm. To get it, be sure you have npm installed, then run this command in your terminal:
$ npm i -g @uihc/dew
Simply run dew followed by your human readable module name from your Drupal site's docroot directory.
$ dew "Human readable name" -m optional_machine_name If you omit the machine name option (-m or --machine-name), dew will automatically generate it for you by taking the human readable name you provide and converting it to lower snake case.
--machine-name, -m:
Allows you to specify the machine name rather than having dew generate it. As per Drupal standards, this name must be represented in snake case with all lower case letters.
--seven, -s:
Create a Drupal 7 module. Without this option, Dew will default to Drupal 8.
--default, -d:
[Drupal 7 only] Create the module within the sites/default/ folder rather than the sites/all/ folder.
--current-directory, -c:
Create a module in the current directory. This option is useful, for example, if you are creating a contrib module for publishing on Drupal.org.
- Automate template bundling.
- Clean up code.
