eject-and-customize

To safely eject core modules, you follow an assessment workflow that copies the module into your project, enabling targeted customization while enforcing safeguards like maintaining a customization log to track changes.

You should eject core modules only when UMES extensions cannot address your specific requirement, as ejection is a one-way door; always consider UMES extensions first to avoid the maintenance burden of customized core code.

The best practice for tracking changes after ejecting core modules is to maintain a customization log, which records your targeted modifications and simplifies future upgrades by providing a clear history of deviations from the original core code.

You should avoid making risky changes to shared core components after copying them into your project; the ejection workflow enforces safeguards that guide you toward responsible, targeted customization without destabilizing shared dependencies.

Ejecting core modules can complicate software upgrades since you own the customized code, but maintaining a detailed customization log helps simplify the process by tracking exactly what was modified.
