Entity Construction Kit 1.0-beta5

The Entity Construction Kit (ECK) provides a user interface and an API for creating and managing custom CiviCRM entities. In conjunction with custom fields being attached to those entities, things in your business logic can be modeled more clearly, when standard CiviCRM entities are not sufficient.

Read more about entities and how to use this extension in the documentation.

Acknowledgements

Huge thanks to @colemanw and the CiviCRM Core team for making this extension possible. There were a lot of related PRs to Core and also to ECK for keeping up with current development of APIv4, SearchKit and FormBuilder.

Plans

For a first stable version we'd like to further improve code quality and automated testing on GitHub.
