Drupal::Module::Starter

Take the tedium out of starting up Drupal modules from scratch.

This module's release was graciously supported by F5 Site Design (http://www.f5sitedesign.com) - purveyors of Open Source Web Applications

This software should be considered alpha quality. It seems to do what it's supposed to.

INSTALLATION

To install this module, run the following commands:

perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install

Example using the supplied drupal-module-starter script:

drupal-module-starter --module=Recording,Artist,Track,Discography,Review,PodCastGenerator,Pony \ --author="Steve McNabb" --email="smcnabb@cpan.org" \ --dir=/tmp/drupal/module/example --hooks=xmlrpc,form,help,info,init,insert,delete,update

This would create the 7 listed modules, each in its own directory under --dir, with stubs installed for the listed --hooks (if any).

hook_name and hook_perm are always generated.

TODO

• add page_ hook support: each page_foo callback should get a simple stub and/or return some dummy content, and a menu item should be generated as well.
  • remove use of /usr/bin/php from test harness and add skippable PHP.pm test
