Riverside Physical Therapy — Project Context

What this is

A Drupal 11 site for Riverside Physical Therapy. Nearly all frontend work lives in a single custom module (riverside_pt) rather than a Drupal theme. The site runs in Docker with nginx + php-fpm + PostgreSQL.

Running locally

docker compose up        # starts app on http://localhost:8080 (full DB wipe + rebuild from code by default)
docker compose exec app drush cr   # clear Drupal cache
npm run watch            # Tailwind CSS watcher (run on host, not in container)
npm run build            # minified production build

Database & site rebuild behavior

By default, every docker compose up performs a full database wipe followed by a complete reinstall + rebuild of the site structure from code:

• Drops the database
• Runs drush site:install standard
• Enables modules (including riverside_pt)
• Runs drush riverside:rebuild (the single source of truth for content types, fields, roles, and navigation)

This means the site is always built exactly the same way from the code in riverside_pt.install and the Drush command. There is no persistent data between restarts unless you opt out.

Faster iteration (preserve the database):

DRUPAL_FAST=1 docker compose up

This skips the wipe + site:install but still runs drush riverside:rebuild and the rest of the startup steps. Use this when you want quicker starts during active development and don't need a completely clean slate.

You can also run the rebuild manually at any time:

docker compose exec app drush riverside:rebuild
# or the short alias
docker compose exec app drush rrb

The custom module directory is volume-mounted, so template/CSS/JS edits are live without rebuilding the Docker image. settings.php and development.services.yml are also volume-mounted.

Known gotcha: drush site:install rewrites settings.php. Because settings.php is a bind-mounted file, Docker Desktop on macOS may hold a stale inode reference after the rewrite. If Drupal shows "The provided host name is not valid for this server" after a full rebuild, restart with DRUPAL_FAST=1 to re-establish the mount without re-running site:install.

Stack

• Drupal 11 (core_version_requirement: ^11)
• PHP 8.5-fpm (in Docker)
• PostgreSQL 18 (db: drupal, user: drupal, pass: drupal)
• Tailwind CSS v3 — compiled on the host via npm, output to app.css
• FullCalendar 6 — fullcalendar.min.js is downloaded by the Dockerfile at build time but the module directory is volume-mounted, so the file must also exist on the host at js/fullcalendar.min.js (not gitignored; download once with curl -fsSL https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/fullcalendar@6.1.15/index.global.min.js -o web/modules/custom/riverside_pt/js/fullcalendar.min.js)
• Postmark — email via drupal/symfony_mailer
• Preact 10 + htm — loaded via esm.sh CDN imports inside each custom element JS file; no build step required

Custom module: riverside_pt

All site-specific code lives here: web/modules/custom/riverside_pt/

Templates

File	Purpose
templates/riverside-pt-header.html.twig	Fixed top nav with hamburger on mobile
templates/riverside-pt-home.html.twig	Home page: hero, services, mission, testimonials, booking, FAQ

The header is injected globally via riverside_pt_page_top() in .module, not rendered by a controller.

Controllers / routes

Route	Path	Controller / Form
riverside_pt.home	/home	HomeController::page
riverside_pt.schedule	/schedule	ScheduleController::page
riverside_pt.booking	/schedule/book	BookingForm
riverside_pt.booking_store_slot	/schedule/book/slot (POST)	ScheduleController::storeSlot
riverside_pt.schedule_events	/schedule/events	ScheduleController::events

HomeController::page attaches the schedule library and passes drupalSettings.riversidePt (eventsUrl, bookingUrl, storeSlotUrl, holidays) so the booking calendar on the home page works identically to the /schedule page.

ScheduleController::events generates mock availability Mon–Fri only (skips Sat/Sun via N > 5 day-of-week check).

CSS / JS

File	Purpose
css/tailwind.css	Tailwind entry point (@tailwind base/components/utilities + custom layers)
css/app.css	Compiled Tailwind output — do not edit directly
css/calendar.css	FullCalendar overrides + booking layout + slot button styles
js/nav.js	Hamburger toggle — adds/removes is-open on #rpt-main-nav
js/calendar.js	FullCalendar init: circle-per-day availability, dateClick → inline slot grid, auto-selects next business day on load
js/components/rpt-toggle.js	Generic toggle button web component
js/components/rpt-carousel.js	Facility photo carousel (used on /schedule)
js/components/rpt-testimonials.js	Testimonials carousel — pixel-offset scroll, pointer drag, swipe, resize debounce
js/components/rpt-faq.js	Accordion FAQ section
js/components/rpt-appt-type.js	Appointment type selector (2×2 card grid, pre-selects Diagnostic Assessment)

Custom element pattern

All interactive components are Preact web components following this pattern:

import { h, render } from "https://esm.sh/preact@10";
import { useState } from "https://esm.sh/preact@10/hooks";
import { html } from "https://esm.sh/htm@3/preact";

class RptFoo extends HTMLElement {
  connectedCallback() { render(html`<${Foo} />`, this); }
  disconnectedCallback() { render(null, this); }
}
customElements.define("rpt-foo", RptFoo);

Use double-quoted strings only in these files — the esm.sh CDN fetch and browser JS parsing will fail silently on curly/smart quotes.

Libraries

Defined in riverside_pt.libraries.yml:

• riverside_pt/app — app.css + nav.js + all js/components/*.js (as type: module), attached globally via riverside_pt_page_attachments()
• riverside_pt/schedule — calendar.css + fullcalendar.min.js + calendar.js + core/drupalSettings

Home page sections (in order)

1. Hero — two-layer flex layout (image absolute, text relative); 2xl breakpoint adds a side-by-side split with solid teal panel
2. Services grid — 4-column card grid (xl:grid-cols-4)
3. Mission / stats — bg-[#dde8f0], max-w-[1200px] content container with neck.jpg image
4. Testimonials — <rpt-testimonials> carousel; cards overflow right of a max-w-[1200px] safe area; pixel-offset position:relative; left animation; pointer drag + swipe
5. Book An Appointment — <rpt-appt-type> selector above the FullCalendar booking widget; slots display inline beside the calendar
6. FAQ — <rpt-faq> accordion; grid-template-rows: 0fr → 1fr expand animation

Booking calendar details

• Layout: .riverside-booking-wrap is a flex row (stacks on mobile) — calendar left, slot grid right
• Auto-selection: on load, calendar navigates to the next business day; if that day has events, it is pre-selected and the first slot is highlighted
• Slot interaction: clicking a slot highlights it (.riverside-slot-btn.is-selected) and immediately POSTs to storeSlotUrl, then redirects to /schedule/book
• No popup: the old backdrop/panel popup was replaced with the inline side panel
• --cal-row-h: CSS custom property on #riverside-calendar controls row height; frame uses calc(var(--cal-row-h) - 0.5rem)

Tailwind notes

• Config scans templates/**/*.twig and src/**/*.php for class names
• Breakpoints are standard Tailwind v3: sm = 640px, md = 768px, 2xl = 1536px
• Mobile nav collapse (max-height slide) is in tailwind.css under @layer components because it can't be expressed with utilities
• Arbitrary Tailwind values use _ for spaces: bg-[#4a7a8a], shadow-[-56px_2px_10px_#0000001A]
• Non-standard CSS properties (e.g. text-shadow) use arbitrary property syntax: [text-shadow:...]

Hero section layout technique

The hero uses two overlapping flex rows inside a relative section:

• Box 1 (absolute inset-0 flex): image layer, out of flow, fills the section
• Box 2 (relative flex min-h-[480px]): text layer, in flow, sets section height

Spacer divs with basis-[x%] grow-[n] control the offset columns on desktop. On mobile (< sm), spacers are hidden and content goes full-width with a gradient overlay for legibility. At 2xl, the section switches to a true side-by-side split with the text on a solid teal background.

Development services

web/sites/development.services.yml is loaded when DEBUG=true (set in docker-compose). It enables Twig debug/auto-reload and defines cache.backend.null (used by settings.php to disable render/page caching in dev).

Menu / navigation

Nav items come from Drupal's main menu. Items titled "Book An Appointment" or "Contact" are flagged is_cta: true in the preprocess hook and rendered as a CTA button in the header template.

Email

Booking confirmation emails are sent via riverside_pt_mail() in .module using the booking_request key. Transport is Postmark (via drupal/symfony_mailer), configured in config/sync/symfony_mailer.mailer_transport.postmark.yml. The API key is injected via the POSTMARK_API_KEY environment variable.

In settings.php (when the key is present) we also force:

• mailer_transport.settings.default_transport = postmark
• system.mail.interface.default = symfony_mailer

On localhost/dev, a fake sendmail binary is provided (via Dockerfile + entrypoint) that prints the full email to stderr (visible via docker compose logs) instead of failing with "sh: 1: /usr/sbin/sendmail: not found". This catches any legacy php_mail fallbacks. Real transactional mail goes through Postmark when configured.
