"web/modules/contrib/{$name}": ["type:drupal-module"],
"web/profiles/contrib/{$name}": ["type:drupal-profile"],
"web/themes/contrib/{$name}": ["type:drupal-theme"],
"drush/contrib/{$name}": ["type:drupal-drush"]
},
"patches": {
"drupal/eat": {
"Drupal EAT fix duplicate terms": "https://www.drupal.org/files/issues/2018-09-28/no-duplicate-terms-2945343-5.patch"
}
}
}
