SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the validation of Drupal configuration YAML files, catching naming convention violations, structural inconsistencies, and dependency issues before they cause problems on your live site. This saves significant time in debugging and ensures smoother deployments.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Static Analysis: Parse and analyze configuration files without needing a running Drupal instance.
  • Naming Convention Checks: Validate machine names for content types, fields, views, and vocabularies against best practices.
  • Structure & Dependency Validation: Ensure required fields are present, UUIDs are valid, and module dependencies are correctly declared.
  • Use Case: Integrate this Skill into your CI/CD pipeline to automatically check all exported configuration files for compliance with best practices before any code is deployed to production.

Quick Start

Analyze the Drupal configuration in the config/ directory and check for any naming convention violations.

FAQPage Schema
How do I validate Drupal configuration YAML files before deployment?

Validate Drupal configuration YAML by parsing and analyzing exported config files for naming convention violations, structural inconsistencies, and dependency issues without requiring a running Drupal instance. This catches errors before they reach production.

Can I check Drupal config for best practices in my CI/CD pipeline?

Yes. Integrate static analysis of Drupal configuration YAML into CI/CD pipelines to automatically enforce naming conventions, verify UUIDs, validate module dependencies, and check required fields before code deployment.

What does a Drupal configuration validator check?

A Drupal config validator checks YAML syntax, machine name conventions for content types and fields, structural integrity, UUID validity, module dependency declarations, and presence of essential metadata in exported configuration files.

Do I need a running Drupal instance to validate exported configuration?

No. Static analysis of Drupal configuration YAML requires only the exported config files themselves, making it ideal for offline validation, pre-commit hooks, and pre-import checks before live deployment.

Why validate Drupal config YAML before importing to a live site?

Pre-import validation catches naming violations, dependency misconfigurations, and structural errors that would otherwise cause deployment failures or configuration import errors on production sites, saving debugging time.

Can I use configuration validation with pre-commit hooks?

Yes. Drupal configuration YAML validation integrates with pre-commit workflows to automatically check exported config files for compliance with best practices before developers commit changes.
