Config Actions

Config Actions provides a pluggable framework for easily manipulating configuration data via simple YAML files with the goal of creating truly reusable software components in Drupal.

Example use cases include:

• Templates : the ability to provide a configuration template file containing variables that can be reused and replaced to create new configuration. For example, a template for adding a certain field to a content type where the content type isn't yet known.
• Override : the ability to easily 'override' configuration provided by core or other modules. These is not "live" overrides system but simply a method to import changes into the config system.

NOTE: This is a Developers module and requires creating custom modules containing YAML files that contain the config actions to be performed.
