Modules

Modules are extensions that provide a controller.

Structure

A module consists of at least two files:

• module.yml containing meta information
• controller.php containing the controller

There are also two directories that can be used:

• templates/ for views and other templates
• public/ for public files

Using Modules

Modules can be mounted with their base name or an alias. The first segment of the page path is then mapped to the mountpoint names.

Example

Our website defines this site.yml file:

routes:
    - { module: vendor/module } # auto-generated mountpoint 'module'
    - { module: vendor/another-module, alias: foo } # aliased mountpoint 'foo'

The module controllers can then be accessed over the page path as follows:

• module points to module vendor/module
• foo points to module vendor/another-module
