Chapter 1. Creating a New Module

To learn how to code a PrestaShop module, it is always easier to work on a practical case. So, throughout the next chapters, we will develop a module that will permit customers to grade and comment on products.

In this first chapter, we will see how to:

  • Create the Bootstrap of an installable module
  • Add a configuration form to the module using Smarty templates
  • Register the module configuration in a database
