Lightning Core

Lightning Core provides shared base functionality and APIs for the Lightning distribution of Drupal 8. You probably won't have a reason to install it unless another module requires this one.

Components

Lightning Core's components are not enabled by default. You can install them like any other Drupal modules.

Lightning Contact Form (lightning_contact_form)

Provides a standard-issue sitewide contact form which stores submissions using the Contact Storage module.

Lightning Page (lightning_page)

Provides a simple "Basic page" content type, similar the one installed by Drupal 8's standard profile. Also integrates with the Metatag module, if available.

Please note: this component is NOT compatible with the Standard Drupal 8 install profile!

Lightning Roles (lightning_roles)

Provides a generic way to define responsibility-based user roles centered around content types. For example, a "creator" role can be automatically defined for each content type, with permissions applicable to that content type.

Lightning Search (lightning_search)

Uses Search API to provide a standard, turnkey site-wide search index of all your site's content.

Installation

This component can only be installed using Composer. To add it to your Drupal code base:

composer config repositories.drupal composer https://packages.drupal.org/8
composer require drupal/lightning_core

Updates

Lightning Core and its components use the normal Drupal database update system as often as possible. However, there are occasionally certain updates which touch configuration and may change the functionality of your site. These updates are optional, and are performed by a special utility at the command line. This utility is compatible with both Drupal Console and Drush 9 or later.

To run updates using Drush 9:

drush update:lightning

With Drupal Console:

drupal update:lightning
