Using Lenient Composer Plugin for Drupal 11 Module Compatibility

Staff Reporter

Luciano Cossich Sales, a Drupal Full Stack Developer, detailed the use of the Lenient Composer Plugin by Matt Glaman and Composer Patches by Cameron Eagans to address compatibility issues with Drupal 11. He demonstrated how the plugin allows modules like Convert Bundles, which are not yet officially Drupal 11-compatible, to be patched and utilized. Sales outlined the process, including installing the plugins, configuring the composer.json file with allowed lists and patches, and updating the module's core version requirement to include Drupal 11. The guide provides a practical solution for developers working with early-stage modules and encourages feedback for further improvement.
