Extensions

STILL IN DEVELOPMENT

An Extension is a separate package that integrates well to The Backend.

Installation

In order to connect an extension to The Backend, simply inherit the Extension class located in vendor/atorscho/backend/src/Atorscho/Backend/Extensions.

Next fill the properties with relevant information.

An example:

class MessengerExtension extends Atorscho\Backend\Extensions\Extension {

    protected $enabled = true;

    protected $name = 'Messenger';

    protected $service = 'Vendor\Package\MessengerServiceProvider';

    protected $uri = 'messenger';

    protected $route = 'messenger.index';

    protected $icon = 'envelope';

    protected $settings = 'messenger';

}

This will automatically add your extension to the $extensions variable available in all views.

You can also add settings specific to your extension with the method described here.

Note! If the extension is disabled (protected $enabled = false) or the extension service provider has not been found, the extension is considered as nonexistent.
