Decoupled Lando Environment

Running this Lando setup will install a Drupal 8 site behind an nginx server, a MariaDB, and a Node server sharing a development version of Create React App at :3333.

Running the environment

1. Clone this repo.
2. Run lando start to build the containers.
3. Open your browser to http://cms.decoupled.lndo.site/ and run a standard install.
4. Enable the JSONAPI and JSONAPI extra modules with lando drush en jsonapi jsonapi_extras
5. Create some Articles in the Drupal site with path aliases.
6. In a separate terminal window, run lando yarn start to begin the React development server.
7. If Articles exist, you should see them at http://decoupled.lndo.site:3333/ or a banner will appear with the error from the request.

Developing on this environment

The environment is setup with all of your Drupal code in the backend folder and the React code in the frontend folder.

Tools Available

Current Composer, Drush, Node, npm, and Yarn are available and connected to their service.

Composer

This Drupal build uses the Drupal Composer structure, so all new modules should be added with lando composer require.

Drush

Drush is available for the Drupal build. To run a command like clear cache, use lando drush cr. Any default Drush command should be available using lando drush <command>

Yarn

The Create React app is installed and run using Yarn. Any Yarn command can be run using yarn <command>. For example, if you have stopped the development server and want to restart it, just use lando yarn start.

Credits

This was inspired by https://github.com/WondrousLLC/decoupled-drupal-test but after needing to cut out all the Platform.sh code and adding React I decided to create it as it's own repo.
