README

A Magento 2 module that provides enhanced UI elements for the Stores > Configuration section, including a user-friendly cron expression editor field.

Features

• Cron Expression Editor: Interactive, validated, and human-readable cron field for system configuration.
• Catalog Category Selector: A custom field type for selecting categories in the system configuration.
• Modern UI/UX with real-time validation and summary.

Installation

Via Composer

composer require hryvinskyi/magento2-configuration-fields
bin/magento module:enable Hryvinskyi_ConfigurationFields
bin/magento setup:upgrade

Manual Installation

1. Copy the module to app/code/Hryvinskyi/ConfigurationFields.
2. Run the following Magento CLI commands:

   bin/magento setup:upgrade
   bin/magento setup:di:compile
   bin/magento cache:flush

How It Works

• The module adds a new system configuration field type that renders a cron editor UI.
• The editor provides validation, error highlighting, and a summary of the cron schedule.
• The value is stored as a standard cron expression string.
