Create an Info File for a Module

Every module must have an info file that provides Drupal with metadata about the module. Drupal uses this file to recognize that the directory the info file is contained within, along with the files inside it, are part of a module. Without an info file, Drupal will not recognize your code as a module, and the code will be ignored. Info files are written in YAML and contain information like the module's name, versions of Drupal it's compatible with, and a description.

Concept: Using and Improving Contributed Modules

Installing community-contributed Drupal modules can enhance your project's functionality without the need to develop custom code. It's common to find a module that almost meets your needs but requires updates or additional features. Engaging with the module maintainer and other community members to improve these modules enriches the Drupal ecosystem and aligns with the open source values of collaboration and shared progress.
