Magento Extension Development
Magento consists of different modules for different purposes . Module is a structural element of Magento 2. A module can be created externally or from reusable modules inside the vendor/folder.The location of the new module created is in app/code/(new_module)/.The main use of the module is for customization in Magento.
Steps for creating a Module
- Creating the module folder-inside app/Code/<vendor>/<module>/etc
- Creating the module.xml file inside etc folder
| <?xml version=”1.0″?> <config xmlns:xsi=”http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance” xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation=”urn:magento:framework:Module/etc/module.xsd”> <module name=”Learning_firstunit” setup_version=”0.0.1″> </module> </config> |
Learning_firstunit is my module name.
- Create the registration.php file
There must be a registration.php inside every module folder here it is in
app/code/Learning/firstunit/registration.php
The Code for registration.php is given below
| <?php \Magento\Framework\Component\ComponentRegistrar::register( \Magento\Framework\Component\ComponentRegistrar::MODULE, ‘Learning_firstunit’,__DIR__); |
- Now open the terminal from your root magento2 folder and Run
php bin/magento setup:upgrade
- Check that the new module is active
| grep Learning_firstunit app/etc/config.php |
By this method we can create module in Magento2
Enable the module in Magento 2
| php bin/magento module:enable Learning_firstunit |
Employing these steps, you can successfully create a new module in Magento 2.
