Can drush show list all available modules?

Question

With yum you can do yum list available ..., and know the name of the package you want to install.

For example, there is the Mime Mail module in Drupal. What name should I use with drush dl, mime_mail, or mimemail?

So does drush have something like yum list available?

Answer 1

No, drush can't do that.

Why should it when you can see the entire list yourself on drupal.org.

Answer 2

Yes, you can. based on this feature request, I build the functionality, and created a sandbox module.

Answer 3

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think you should use the last segment of the URL When I was trying to find out what to use for the "Redirect 403 to User Login" module Example: http://drupal.org/project/r4032login

use: drush dl r4032login

Answer 4

function get_list_of_drushable_modules(){
$url = "https://www.drupal.org/project/project_module/index";
$content =  get_url_data($url);
$start = '<div class="view-content">';
$end ='</ol>';

$start_i = strpos($content,$start);
$content = substr($content,$start_i);

$projects = explode("</li>",$content);
$new_projects = array();

foreach($projects as $i => $project){
    $st = '<a href="/project/';
    $strlen = strlen($st);
    $st_i = strpos($project,$st);
    $project = substr($project,$st_i+$strlen);
    $project_character = str_split($project);

    $new_project = "";

    foreach($project_character as $char){
        if($char == '"') break;
         $new_project .= $char;
    }

    $new_projects[] = $new_project;
}

return $new_projects;
}

function get_url_data($url) {
$ch = curl_init();
$timeout = 5;
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, $timeout);
$data = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
return $data;
}

Answer 5

No drush does not have this feature
