Book Description
Since version 1.7, PrestaShop began its migration from the old legacy core to a brand new Symfony-based system. This implies many changes for developers starting from maintenance to module development, and that’s all this book is about. With a quick explanation of the data structure, you will be presented the architecture of the system from front-office to back-office controllers (migrated or not) and you will learn how hooks work and enable modules to customize and improve the CMS. Mastering the mechanics is a prerequisite for a good understanding of how modules embed in the system.
Then, you will dive into the creation of seven useful modules under a practical and progressive approach being explained the structure of a module, hooks registration, the creation of front-office controllers, and Symfony back-office controllers in a modern way. We'll do this by using Doctrine entities, services, grids, and forms, finishing with payment and carrier modules. Finally, you will discover how to override and customize a theme in order to make your e-commerce store look just like you need from templating to assets management.
By the end of this book, you will be able to provide modern solutions with Prestashop that meet clients' tailor-made and challenging business needs.
