Drops of Drupal
Small Drupal tips and tricks
#001 drush pm:list
Drush, the command line utility for interfacing with Drupal, is not just helpful for clearing the cache. The PM command provides access to modules and themes. PM:LIST is helpful for getting a list of modules and themes. I find it faster and easier than accessing the Extend page from the Admin interface.
For example, to see the versions of enabled, non-core modules:
drush pm:list --no-core --status=enabled
The results will be similar to:
Package Name Status Version
Other CKEditor 4 (contrib) (ckeditor) Enabled 1.0.1
Core Color (color) Enabled 1.0.3
Administration Admin Toolbar (admin_toolbar) Enabled 3.0.3
CKEditor CKEditor Anchor Link (anchor_link) Enabled 8.x-1.7
User interface Chosen (chosen) Enabled 3.0.2
User interface Chosen Field (chosen_field) Enabled 3.0.2
User interface Chosen Library (chosen_lib) Enabled 3.0.2
CKEditor CKEditor Templ(ckeditor_templates) Enabled 8.x-1.2
CKEditor CKEditor Templates User ... Enabled 8.x-1.4
Other Components (components) Enabled 8.x-2.4
To get the results for one project, pipe to grep.
drush pm:list --no-core --status=enabled | grep 'chosen'Results:
User interface Chosen (chosen) Enabled 3.0.2
User interface Chosen Field (chosen_field) Enabled 3.0.2
User interface Chosen Library (chosen_lib) Enabled 3.0.2 For drush commands you use frequently, you can add them as an alias in your shell or command/tooling in your local development environment. For example, your .bash_profile could include:
alias dpme='drush pm:list --no-core --status=enabled'
