Convert existing custom module to a feature

I write a lot of custom modules. I normally end up needing to add Features to my existing modules well after my custom module has been established. I used to manually merge my existing module with the generated Feature by renaming files and copying and pasting the generated code/files.

There is an easier way!

Make your existing module a Feature by adding the following lines to your module's info file.

    package = "YourFeatureGroupName"
    project = your_module_name
    version = 7.x-1.0
    features[features_api][] = api:2
 
    project path = sites/all/modules/custom
