Craft-utils

This is a collection a Craft utilities to ease custom development on Craft CMS.

AbstractModule

This base class for custom modules aims at making less painful to create a Craft module. Most of the time, all you have to do to register/customize the following components is to override the corresponding getter:

• translation category (reasonable default value provided)
• CP template roots (reasonable default value provided)
• site template roots (reasonable default value provided)
• twig extensions
• CP nav items
• CP routes
• site routes
• User permissions
• Craft variables additions
• element types
• view hooks

⚠️ There may be some performance implications as the getters are executed on each request. Do as little as possible in the getters, and return early if possible.

If you need to further optimize your code, it's easy to get rid of this module and register the components the traditional way.
