Custom module Implementation Magento2

This topic gives you the idea that how magento specialist can create a custom Module for Magento2. Follow the 6 steps

•  Create the module directory for the module
•  Define the module by module.xml
•  Register the module by registration.php
•  Install setup and enable the module
•  Route creation for the module
•  Create controller and url action

 Create the module directory for the module :

We are using module vendor Toweringmedia and module name is Mymodule. So we need to create a new directory in :

app/code/Toweringmedia /Mymodule

Define the module by module.xml

We need declare the module definition in module etc directory. Magento 2 will use it to recognize the module’s name and module’s version from module.xml file. Create the file in this directory

app/code/Toweringmedia /Mymodule/etc/module.xml

And paste the following code in the file.

<?xml version=”1.0″?>
<config xmlns:xsi=”http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance” xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation=”urn:magento:framework:Module/etc/module.xsd”>
<module name=”Toweringmedia _Mymodule” setup_version=”1.0.0″ />
</config>

*  1.0.0 is the module version

Register the module by registration.php

Create the file registration.php in into the directory

app/code/Toweringmedia /Mymodule/registration.php

and add the following code there.

 

Install setup and enable the module

After we can install the module through cli command. Now open your terminal and run these command from magento root directory:

Route creation for the module

we need to init router name for the module before creating any controllers and actions.

Create the routers.xml file

app/code/Toweringmedia /Mymodule/etc/frontend/routes.xml

and add the following code there.

<?xml version=”1.0″?>
<config xmlns:xsi=”http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance” xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation=”urn:magento:framework:App/etc/routes.xsd”>
<router id=”standard”>
<route id=”toweringmedia” frontName=”mymodule”>
<module name=”Toweringmedia_Mymodule” />
</route>
</router>
</config>

Create controller and url action

In the final step, we need to create a url for displaying in browser: “My Module”.

Create the action file:

app/code/Toweringmedia/Mymodule/Controller/Index/Index.php

Add the following code

 

Now open the link http://<magento_url>/mymodule/index/index you will the result “My Module“.
