Starter Features

A set of features to monitor components for Drupal core and common modules. Many components that a site builder is likely to use are already built into this set of modules. This is intended to provide a jump start on building Features modules to manage configurations on a per-site basis.

The Starter Features modules' components are organized in a sensible way to provide site builders a structure to organize their configurations. This also helps to avoid collisions of overlapping work and merge conflicts when managing the generated code through a VCS.

Instructions

1. Place starter features into your site's modules
2. Enable the starter features that you wish to use on your site
3. Configure your site as desired
4. Update starter features modules as needed via the Features UI or Drush

Notes

• It is not recommended to upgrade your Starter Features modules as new releases are published. The intent is to give site builders a baseline to start from in order to save time and effort when building Feature modules for their site.
• It does not matter which order of which you a) install the Starter Features and b) configure the site. The important part is to get Features monitoring the component in order to capture it into code at some point later.
