A Drupal Distribution

is a distribution. It packages several adaptive functionalities and essential modules into its powerhouse. It takes advantage of Drupal core modules, as well as other famous and contributed modules and software components.

Since Varbase is a Drupal distribution, any Drupal compatible module, theme, library, can be used and utilized with Varbase.

To build a project using Varbase, we have provided a Varbase Composer project template.
