Can I test multiple TYPO3 versions at the same time?

Yes, the skill creates a multi-subdomain environment (e.g., v11.sitename.ddev.site) using Docker volumes, allowing you to run different TYPO3 versions in parallel.

Which TYPO3 versions are supported by this skill?

This skill includes pre-configured setup and installation scripts for TYPO3 11.5, 12.4, and 13.4 LTS versions.

What prerequisites are needed to use this skill?

You need Docker Desktop (or Engine), Docker Compose, and DDEV installed on your system. The skill includes a validation script to check these requirements.

How does it handle my extension metadata?

It automatically detects your extension key, package name, and vendor namespace from your project's ext_emconf.php or composer.json files to generate the DDEV config.

Deployment & DevOps

Automates the creation of multi-version TYPO3 development environments using DDEV for extension development.

About

This skill streamlines TYPO3 extension development by automatically generating and managing DDEV environments tailored to your project. It extracts extension metadata to configure local environments, supports parallel testing across multiple TYPO3 LTS versions (11.5, 12.4, and 13.4), and implements best practices for Docker volume management and Apache vhost configuration. By automating complex setup tasks like dependency mapping, documentation rendering, and security overrides for development, it allows developers to spin up production-ready local environments in minutes.

Key Features
