You can apply this model as a recipe (Drupal 10.3 or later) to your own Drupal site:

## Import recipe
composer require drupal-eca-recipe/eca_lib_0020

# Apply recipe with Drush (requires version 13 or later):
drush recipe ../recipes/eca_lib_0020

# Apply recipe without Drush:
cd web && php core/scripts/drupal recipe ../recipes/eca_lib_0020

# Rebuilding caches is optional, sometimes required:
drush cr

Purpose

This model reacts upon creating a new page node. It then creates a new article node, its title is populated with the page auther's name, some static text and the title of the created page.

The recorded video provides more explanation as we go on.

Requirements

This recipe includes the library's article_content_type and page_content_type recipes, which provide the Article and Basic page content types together with their body field. Drupal 11.4 removed those content types from the Standard profile and Drupal 12 removed core's recipes for them, so the library ships its own. Composer installs them alongside this recipe.
