Usage

To add demo content to your module or theme, add the demo_content info to your .info.yaml file. Example:

example.info.yml

name: 'Example Theme'
type: theme
description: 'Description for theme'
core: 8.x
version: 8.x-1.0-dev
demo_content:
  - content/file.file.yml
  - content/node.article.yml

Then create your demo content as follows:

file.file.yml

entity_type: file
bundle: file
content:
  file_1:
    uuid: 61bdc2a3-d56d-443f-8488-10ca4ab7b42a
    path: $PATH$/images/wild.jpg
  file_2:
    uuid: 691b01e8-2af4-4b53-916d-f38033af5cb6
    path: $PATH$/images/cacheme.jpg

node.article.yml

entity_type: node
bundle: article
content:
  article_1:
    uuid: 0f22e197-ada3-4833-911b-fb75dcbb0ff8
    title: 'Lipsum dolor sit amet'
    path_alias: '/lipsum-dolor'
    body:
      value: '<p>Lipsum dolor sit amet from dsadsa Demo Content.</p>'
      format: full_html
    field_image:
        entity_type: file
        uuid: 61bdc2a3-d56d-443f-8488-10ca4ab7b42a
