This podcast dives into the Drupal core’s experimental Package Manager module, which introduces a robust API for performing Composer operations directly within a Drupal site. The speaker walks through how developers can build Composer-aware modules using this tool, covering core concepts such as staging environments, event handling, and the lifecycle of package operations. Listeners will gain insight into real-world implementations like the Automatic Updates and Project Browser modules, along with accessible custom module examples that demonstrate install/uninstall processes. The episode also highlights best practices—especially the importance of leveraging Drupal’s batch system to ensure stable, request-safe code updates.
