## Overview
Drupal is an open-source enterprise CMS/CMF written in PHP, known for its flexibility and scalability. Primary use cases: enterprise platforms, complex content models, government/digital transformation projects, multilingual sites.
## Aliases
- Drupal CMS
- Drupal CMF
## Key Characteristics
- **Complex content modeling**: Paragraphs, entity references, media library, field API, display modes
- **Layout Builder**: Per-node layouts, layout templates, custom section and component types
- **Configuration in code**: `drush cim/cex` (config import/export) — all config in YAML files
- **Custom modules**: PHP attributes (Drupal 10+), hook system, routing YAML, service container
- **Twig templating**: Template layer with preprocess hooks for data transformation
- **Composer workflow**: `composer require`, patches, version pinning, `drush pm:security`
- **Multilingual**: TMGMT translation module, language negotiation built-in
## Drupal Coding Patterns
### Custom Module Structure
```
my_module/
├── my_module.info.yml
├── my_module.module
├── my_module.routing.yml
├── my_module.services.yml
├── my_module.permissions.yml
├── my_module.links.menu.yml
└── src/
├── Controller/
├── Form/
├── Plugin/Block/
└── EventSubscriber/
```
### Custom Block Plugin (Drupal 10+ PHP Attributes)
```php
#[Block(
id: 'my_custom_block',
admin_label: new TranslatableMarkup('My Custom Block'),
)]
class MyBlock extends BlockBase {
public function build(): array {
return [
'#theme' => 'my_custom_block',
'#attached' => ['library' => ['my_module/my-block']],
'#cache' => ['max-age' => 3600],
];
}
}
```
### Hook Implementation
```php
function my_module_node_access(EntityInterface $node, $op, AccountInterface $account) {
if ($node->bundle() === 'case_study' && $op === 'view') {
return $account->hasPermission('view case studies')
? AccessResult::allowed()->cachePerPermissions()
: AccessResult::forbidden()->cachePerPermissions();
}
return AccessResult::neutral();
}
```
## Connections
- [[CMSDeveloper]] uses Drupal as a primary CMS platform
- [[ContentModel-first]] applies to Drupal content modeling before theme code
- [[CodeOverConfiguration]] — Drupal config exported to YAML, not UI
- [[LayoutBuilder]] is a Drupal-specific flexible content building system
- [[TwigTemplating]] is Drupal's template engine
