It is a group of directories that contain the blocks, controllers, helpers, and models needed to create a specific store feature. It is the unit of customization in the Magento 2 platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can create Magento 2 modules to perform various functions, such as influencing user experience and changing the storefront appearance. They can install, deleted, or disabled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here\u2019s a detailed guide on how to create a simple custom module.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Steps to Create a Module<\/strong> :<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n- Create the module folder.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Create the registration.php file.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Create the module.xml file.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Run the command: php bin\/magento setup:upgrade<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Run the command: php bin\/magento setup:di:compile<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Create the module Folder<\/strong> :<\/h3>\n\n\n\nTo create the module we have to create a vendor folder first with the vendor name (which is Webkul in our case) under the app\/code folder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Folder](\"https:\/\/cdnblog.webkul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Selection_123-1200x248.png\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nNote – <\/strong>(if the code folder is not available then please create it).<\/p>\n\n\n\nThen we have to create the module folder “BlogManager” (the module name).<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Folder](\"https:\/\/cdnblog.webkul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Selection_121-1.png\")
Folder Structure<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nNow our folder structure should be like (app\/code\/Webkul\/BlogManager). Where Webkul is our Vendor name and BlogManager<\/a> is our Module name.<\/p>\n\n\n\nCreate the registration.php file<\/strong> :<\/h3>\n\n\n\nAfter this, we have to create a registration.php file under the file path (app\/code\/Webkul\/BlogManager) so that Magento 2 can recognize it as a module and register it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Code for app\/code\/Webkul\/BlogManager\/registration.php<\/em> file<\/p>\n\n\n\n<?php\n\\Magento\\Framework\\Component\\ComponentRegistrar::register(\n \\Magento\\Framework\\Component\\ComponentRegistrar::MODULE,\n 'Webkul_BlogManager',\n __DIR__\n);<\/pre>\n\n\n\n![\"Folder](\"https:\/\/cdnblog.webkul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Selection_124.png\")
Folder structure<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nCreate the module.xml file.<\/strong> :<\/h3>\n\n\n\nTo create the module.xml file, we first need to create an etc folder under the directory (app\/code\/Webkul\/Blogmanager), and in the etc folder we need to create a module.xml file with the following content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Code for etc\/module.xml<\/em> file<\/p>\n\n\n\n<?xml version="1.0"?>\n<config xmlns:xsi="http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2001\/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:Module\/etc\/module.xsd">\n <module name="Webkul_BlogManager">\n <\/module>\n<\/config><\/pre>\n\n\n\n![\"Folder](\"https:\/\/cdnblog.webkul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Selection_125.png\")
Folder structure<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n![\"Magento](\"https:\/\/cdnblog.webkul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Selection_127.png\")
For better understanding<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nRun the command: php bin\/magento setup:upgrade<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAfter creating these two files we need to run the setup upgrade command like below in the terminal at the Magento 2 root folder. It will activate the module.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
php bin\/magento setup:upgrade<\/pre>\n\n\n\n![\"Command](\"https:\/\/cdnblog.webkul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Selection_076-1-1200x174.png\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThis command is used\u00a0to update the Magento 2 database schema<\/a> and data, as well as apply any necessary system upgrades. <\/p>\n\n\n\nIt is used in the Magento 2 upgrade<\/a> process and ensures that your Magento 2 store runs smoothly with the latest updates and features.<\/p>\n\n\n\nRun the command: php bin\/magento setup:di:compile<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nIt is used to compile code like Factories, Proxies, Interceptors, etc., and puts them in the generated directory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
php bin\/magento setup:di:compile<\/pre>\n\n\n\n![\"Folder](\"https:\/\/cdnblog.webkul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Selection_077-1.png\")
