Allow developers to alter the project list with allow/deny list

Created on 6 July 2022, about 3 years ago

Updated 9 October 2024, 10 months ago

Problem/Motivation

Many institutions allow only a vetted subset of modules to be installed on their sites, so it would be nice to allow a developer to alter the list of modules coming in from any particular source.

Proposed resolution

Provide a mechanism whereby a developer can override the list of modules returned from a source. For bonus points, provide a UI to set an allow list/deny list and a radio button where they can choose how the list behaves (as allow vs. deny).

TBD: event / subscriber model? alter hook? plugin/class with a method to override?

So we pretty much already have this in the 2.x branches, and I'm closing it as a duplicate:

The recipes source supports an explicit allow-list in its plugin settings.

We have a whole recommended source now, whose job it is to only show projects from an external curated list.
