Managing Modules, Themes and AJAX Apps

[p-a-s-c-a-l]

At the moment the git repositories for modules and themes, e.g. csis-theme are referenced as git subtree in the general csis drupal repository docker-drupal (see #12 (comment) and #13 (comment))

Additionally, as described in React Integration in Drupal Page, the react apps and thus the react apps's git repositories currently reside in a subfolder of the csis-theme.

So we would end up with a subtree structure like:

• docker-drupal
  • csis-theme
    • some-react-app
    • another-react-app

So probably it would be better to switch to git submodules instead, but this approach has some caveats, too.

@fgeyer16 @patrickkaleta How are such issue addressed in other scm-controlled Drupal projects?

Apps (like the Map Component) are now nested local git repositories in /drupal-data/web/apps and ignored in the "parent repositories" drupal-data and docker-drupal. This is just a temporary solution for development, apps should be distributed as Drupal modules!

Current directory structure with nested git repositories:

• /docker/100-csis (git repository: docker-drupal)
  • drupal-data/ (git repository: clarity-csis-drupal )
    • apps/map-component (git repository: map-component)
    • apps/scenario-analysis (git repository: scenario-analysis)
    • apps/...
