Autoloading

By default the module classes are not loaded automatically. You can autoload your modules using psr-4 if modules are placed in different folder. For example:

{
  "autoload": {
    "psr-4": {
      "App\\": "app/",
      "Goodcatch\\Modules\\": "storage/app/modules"
    }
  }
}

Note: don't forget to make sure the folder 'storage/app/modules' exists or checkout environment configuration name 'MODULE_INSTALL_PATH'.

Tip: don't forget to run composer dump-autoload afterwards.

module admin pages

Goodcatch Modules providers admin page to show modules list and disable/enable module if you want it.

first of all, generate tables and then install them.

php artisan goodcatch:table

php artisan migrate

php artisan goodcatch:cache

open modules admin page: http://domain/goodcatch/laravel-modules/modules

install the first module Core

composer require goodcatch/laravel-module-core

php artisan module:migrate core --seed

checkout modules admin page, there will be a module named 'Core'.

Getting stated with development

have not created any module yet, create it at first

Create first new module, the name is 'core'

php artisan module:make core
