Understanding Configuration Management and How to Override

drfuzetto

Hands on examples of how to use configuration management in Drupal 8!

In Drupal 8, settings and configurations are stored in code using configuration management.  We do this by importing and exporting the whole set of the sites configuration, but a lot of times there are cases where the configuration needs to be different.  

For example:

  • Environment based configuration, like endpoint variables

  • Production/non-production overrides - enable different modules

There are many ways this can be managed. This session will explain and show solutions to these cases.

Learning Objectives

In this session we will discuss the following:

  • Why you want to override

  • Managing your configurations
