This will download hook data to that Drupal's files/hooks folder. Hooks are downloaded for core and any other module builder-aware modules that are in this install of Drupal. |

|
If you use Drush with multiple Drupal installations, you can store your hook data centrally, and so only download it once for all your sites. |
| 49 |
|
To do so, specify the --data option when both downloading hooks and generating code. You can use Drush's drushrc.php to set this option automatically. |

API |
| 81 |
|
------------- |
| 82 |
|
This module can be considered to be an API and two wrappers: |
| 83 |
|
- Drupal's web-based UI (referred to in code comments as Drupal UI or just Drupal) |
| 84 |
|
- Drush's command line |
| 85 |
|
Furthermore, while the Drupal part of the module is version-specific (that is, you download the version of the module to match your version of Drupal core as you would any module), the Drush part, works across versions in the same way as Drush itself. |
| 86 |
|
That is, you can download the current version of module builder, install it as a Drush command, and where you can use Drush you can use module builder. (Note this is still a work in progress...) |
