Module skeleton: metadata, composer and structure

Note

Watch a short video tutorial on YouTube: Module Installation & Configuration.

In order to create a working OXID eShop module, you have to create a certain file structure inside your module and use certain metadata files.

• metadata.php
  • List of all $aModule keys
  • Version 2.0
  • Version 2.1
  • Compatibility between different metadata versions
• composer.json
  • Composer.json for an OXID eShop Module
• menu.xml
• File and folder structure

Note

The file composer.json is only necessary if you want to use composer to install a module, add dependencies or autoload PHP files.

Note

Support of metadata version 1, 1.1 and 1.2 was dropped. Please use version 2 or later.
