What is NDDT

NDDT is a module for the NetBeans IDE that aides in the development of Drupal module and theme development. It provides rapid access to all the core Drupal hooks and theme override functions.

NDDT is powered by a custom templating system that allows for easy customization and addition of new Drupal hooks and code snippets. View the Help section inside of NDDT for examples of how you can quickly expand the functionality of this tool.

Drush Integration

Starting with version 2 Drush is now a part of NDDT. Execute numerous Drush related commands without ever having to leave your IDE. A custom Drush plugin is also utilized allowing you to find all places where a certain hook is invoked.

The version 2 release of NDDT now has integration with Drush.

• Drush installed and configured on your local machine (for Drush related features only)
