Developing a new Extension: Dev Documentation and Code Samples for Open Cart 4

[neeooh]

Hello everyone!

I would like to develop a new (simple) extension for OpenCart 4.

Can you please point me to developer documentation and some code samples?

I can't find anything on the official website.. https://docs.opencart.com/developer/module/

It would be nice to see how to convert XMLs (plenty of already developed extensions that don't work anymore on OC 4) to the newly introduced event system.

Thanks in advance!

Hello!

You can watch the repository with examples. It's a great start point how you can start to understand how to develop modules & themes and after that extensions.

All in all, the only effective way to understand CMS is to analyze engine files. I can't call the new event system perfect, but it works. Maybe after some time we will see all the benefits of this system but now it needs more improvements and fixes.

Thanks, however this seems to be for the previous version 3, not the newest one v4?

The link which you can see in my previous answer is for 4 version.
