• Ecosystem Status Monitoring – Quick visibility into which booking modules are installed and which are missing.
• Help Page – Comprehensive documentation at /admin/help/booking explaining the ecosystem and its components.
• Helper Service – A booking.ecosystem_helper service providing utility methods for ecosystem detection and management.

Included ecosystem modules

• Commerce – Drupal Commerce powers eCommerce innovation through every stage of growth.
• BAT – Booking and Availability Management Tools, providing a foundation for availability management, reservation and booking use cases.

• Full Calendar – Utility module providing the FullCalendar and Scheduler libraries.
• Easepick – A lightweight, dependency-free date picker integration with Drupal Forms API.

Requirements

• Drupal 11.x
• No mandatory dependencies – all ecosystem modules are optional.

Installation

1. Download the module and place it in /modules/contrib/booking.
2. Enable the module via admin/modules or using Drush:
   drush en booking
3. Visit the dashboard at /admin/reports/booking to see the status of your booking ecosystem.

Usage

The module does not provide booking functionality itself. Instead, it acts as a collector and reference point for the various booking-related modules available on Drupal.org.

• Install any combination of Commerce, BAT, BEE, BEE Hotel, Full Calendar, or Easepick to build your booking solution.
• Use the dashboard to monitor which modules are active.
• Refer to the help page for guidance on the ecosystem.

Development status

This is the initial development release. The module is currently stable at a basic level but may evolve to include additional helper utilities and integrations.

Future plans

• Additional helper APIs for cross-module integration.
• Configuration forms for ecosystem preferences.
• Enhanced dashboard with module-specific status and links.
• Potential lightweight scaffolding for common booking workflows.
