How do I export a content type, views as a single module

Question

I've a view, content type, field collection, flexslider to satisfy a single user case. May I know how to export all these three as a single module.

Answer 1

You could use some Drupal Console export commands for this:

• config:export:content:type
• config:export:view

You could use the --module option to specificy which module to export.

It's easier to use the Features module though. From the project page:

A feature is a collection of Drupal entities which taken together satisfy a certain use-case.

Features provides a UI and API for taking different site building components from modules with exportables and bundling them together in a single feature module. A feature module is like any other Drupal module except that it contains additional information in its info file so that configuration can be checked, updated, or reverted programmatically.

Examples of features might be:

• A blog
• A pressroom
• An image gallery

Answer 2

Install and configure Features module.

Features provides a UI and API for taking different site building components from modules with exportables and bundling them together in a single feature module.

To export using terminal use Drush.
