What is your workflow on creating Drupal recipes?

Hello it's a fairly new topic so I haven't found a lot of neat tips & tricks about it yet. Maybe I'm not looking in the right places (which is also why I'm posting it here).

I’m looking for the best way to create Drupal recipes out of existing websites.

I'm already creating recipes as we speak but it feels like I'm not doing it the right way because it takes a lot of time (cherrypick) and trial & error in testing.

Does anyone found a way to create recipes without it being a manual copy / paste & trial / error process?

I would be glad to learn and even document further for other Drupalistas.

Thanks in advance and all the best.

Creating documentation in Drupal

Creating documentation in Drupal

I just want to share what I've been up to.

For Webhaven I want to start creating the documentation on how to get up and running and how it works in general.

So i've researched some documentation tools and layouts that I liked. Most were in a different tech stack and I didn't want to bother introduce a new kind of tool for this. So I figured, why not build this in Drupal myself and learn a thing or two?

So I did. In this post I'd love to share the steps.

The first step was the research, I won't copy paste all the inspiration links but I figured out I liked the documentation of Orbstack a lot (https://docs.orbstack.dev/).

Based on that I've started building (what you see in the video).

Most of it is Drupal core:

- Documentation content type
- Documentation menu

But i've also introduced one contrib module:

- Tocbot (https://www.drupal.org/project/tocbot), the module didn't work out of the box and could use some improvements so I've added 3 issues in the issue queue and fixed that. The new release has all the fixes in place

The visual look & feel I made with my own starter theme that uses SDC.

The previous and next links I first wanted to create in a custom module with a block that reads out the menu and fetches this links. I felt I would need to write a lot of code to do this so I've made it with javascript in the front-end and just get the links out of the menu instead.

I hope you like it, all feedback is welcome.

This might be cool to recreate in a video with a Drupal recipe so people can also use / extend on it.

Now I'll stop building and start writing the documentation. Once I have more documentation in place I'll probably also add Search functionality (thinking about using drupal/search_api and drupal/fac for that).
