Configuration import

Setting up a new site for testing certain scenarios can be repetitive. To avoid this the project provides a module: DPL Config Import. This module can be used to import configuration changes into the site and install/uninstall modules in a single step.

The configuration changes are described in a YAML file with configuration entry keys and values as well as module ids to install or uninstall.

How to use

1. Download the example file that comes with the module.
2. Edit it to set the different configuration values.
3. Upload the file at /admin/config/configuration/import
4. Clear the cache.

How it is parsed

The yaml file has two root elements configuration and modules.

A basic file looks like this:

configuration:
  # Add keys for configuration entries to set.
  # Values will be merged with existing values.
  system.site:
    # Configuration values can be set directly
    slogan: 'Imported by DPL config import'
    # Nested configuration is also supported
    page:
      # All values in nested configuration must have a key. This is required to
      # support numeric configuration keys.
      403: '/user/login'

modules:
  # Add module ids to install or uninstall
  install:
    - menu_ui
  uninstall:
    - redis
