Custom Modules
 | 
						|
==============
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Invoice Ninja support customs modules using https://github.com/nWidart/laravel-modules
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
You can watch this `short video <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8jJ-PYuq85k>`_ for a quick overview of the feature.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Install Module
 | 
						|
""""""""""""""
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
To install a module run:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
.. code-block:: php
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    php artisan module:install <vendor/module> --type=github
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
For example:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
.. code-block:: php
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    php artisan module:install invoiceninja/sprockets --type=github
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
.. TIP:: One a module is installed it can enabled/disabled on Settings > Account Management
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Create Module
 | 
						|
"""""""""""""
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Run the following command to create a CRUD module:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
.. code-block:: php
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    php artisan ninja:make-module <module> <fields>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
For example:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
.. code-block:: php
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    php artisan ninja:make-module Inventory 'name:string,description:text'
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
To run the database migration use:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
.. code-block:: php
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    php artisan module:migrate <module>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
.. Tip:: You can specify the module icon by setting a value from http://fontawesome.io/icons/ for "icon" in module.json.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
There are two types of modules: you can either create a standard module which displays a list of a new entity type or you can create a blank module which adds functionality. For example, a custom integration with a third-party app. If you do not want an entry in the application navigation sidebar, add "no-sidebar": 1 to the custom module's module.json. 
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
If you're looking for a module to work on you can see suggested issues `listed here <https://github.com/invoiceninja/invoiceninja/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3A%22custom+module%22>`_.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
.. NOTE:: Our module implemention is currenty being actively worked on, you can join the discussion on our Slack group: http://slack.invoiceninja.com/
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Share Module
 | 
						|
""""""""""""
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
To share your module create a new project on GitHub and then run the following code:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
.. code-block:: php
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    cd Modules/<module>
 | 
						|
    git init
 | 
						|
    git add .
 | 
						|
    git commit -m "Initial commit"
 | 
						|
    git remote add origin git@github.com:<vendor/module>.git
 | 
						|
    git push -f origin master
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
.. Tip:: Add ``"type": "invoiceninja-module"`` to the composer.json file to help people find your module.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Finally, submit the project to https://packagist.org.
