Modules

Create new module

We'll start from scratch, and we now create new module. Modules are stored in two places:

• in composer - those modules are from foreign vendors, or Your own modules, but stored in separate repositories.
• in /extension/module directory - here You can store modules for this project

In this document we describe creating modules and store them in /extension/module directory, for project purposes.

Execute following command to generate module. Answer few questions and module will be ready to work.

$ make console make:module

After generating module, You can show it's existence in System -> Modules list.

Big picture

In created module there are few files, that need to be described to understand the rules fo creating module.

• manifest.json - Entry file, that contains details of the module. Read more in Extension Manifest file,
• src/Resources/config - here You can find config.yaml and services.yaml - those files are main entry point of Your module. From here system tages configuration and services and loads them in DI Container. Here also You will create the routes.yaml file with routing.
• src/Resources/translations - translations directory, read more in Symfony Translations page. This directory is already configured in config.yaml.
• src/Resources/views - views directory. This directory is already configured in config.yaml.

Tulia CMS is build on top of Symfony framework, so You can start to create any code using Symfony Framework, like controllers, CLI commands, services and so on.
