EspoCRM extension template for easier development.

It is recommended to use it with espo-docker-dev which supplies containerized espocrm environment.

See setup extensions in espo-docker-dev for more information.

initialize

To intialize the extension do the following steps:

1. clone the template: git clone https://github.com/superewald/espo-ext-template your-extension
2. initialize the template: cd your-extension && ./init.sh

build

1. composer install
2. npm install
3. ./build.sh

The script will generate a zip file in the root directory ready to be deployed.

template structure

This template uses a cleaned up directory structure compared to the official espocrm extension template. Instead of alot of nested folders the template uses the following directory mapping:

template	original	description
app/	files/application/Espo/Modules/<ModuleName>	application files (php and json)
client/	files/client/modules/<module-name>	client files (JS/CSS/LESS/HTML)
scripts/	scripts/	extension hooks (for (un)install)

The build script creates the needed directory structure for the extension zip file.
