Varbase Media Assets

A recipe to manage importing default demo media assets for Varbase Media Types.

This recipe provides a pre-set of default media assets (images, videos, documents) for all Varbase Media Types, which are needed in development, testing, and demos.

Installation

Change directory to the Varbase Project in the terminal:

cd /var/www/html/projects/PROJECT_DIR_NAME

Install with Composer:

composer require 'drupal/varbase_media_assets'

Apply the recipe:

drush recipe varbase_media_assets

What's Included

This recipe includes:

• Demo image files (PNG, JPG, WebP formats)
• A demo local video file (MP4)
• Pre-configured media entities for all Varbase Media Types
• Content ready for use in development and testing environments

Optional: Remote video (oEmbed) samples

A sample Vimeo video and a sample YouTube video for the "Remote video" media type are not included in the default recipe above. Importing a "Remote video" media item requires Drupal core to make a live network request to the oEmbed provider APIs (oembed.com, vimeo.com, youtube.com) to validate the URL. That request has a short timeout and no retry, so shipping it as part of the default, unattended drush site:install path made fresh installs of this recipe fail intermittently (see #3608868).

To add the two remote video samples to a site that is already installed and has working network access, apply the companion recipe explicitly:

drush recipe web/recipes/varbase_media_assets/remote_video_samples

(adjust the path to wherever Composer placed the varbase_media_assets recipe in your site, e.g. recipes/varbase_media_assets/remote_video_samples). If the command fails due to a transient network/provider issue, it is safe to simply retry it — it does not affect the rest of the site.

Usage

After applying the recipe, you can view the imported media assets by navigating to /admin/content/media-grid in your Drupal site.
