How to create a component with SDC

SDC is a directory with some files inside. You can create everything you need by hand or leverage a Drush command provided by the Component Libraries: Generator (cl_generator, https://www.drupal.org/project/cl_generator) contributed module.

Note

At the time of writing, there are two versions of the cl_generator module – be sure to install version 2, which is compatible with SDC from Drupal core. There are also plans to move the generator directly inside Drush; look at the project page at drupal.org to check for the latest on this.

Open a terminal and type the following command to start the generation wizard:

ddev drush generate theme:sdc:component

Work through the questions and provide answers to generate a component with these values:

• Location: theme
• Machine name of the theme: alps_trips
• Components directory: components (the default, and with SDC, the only valid value)
• Component machine name: at-button
