Introduction

This guide provides steps to create a simple module, install it via Composer in a third-party or your own Magento 2 project, and upload the package to Packagist.org while connecting it with GitHub.

Creating a Simple Module

1. Create Module Structure

   • Create the necessary directories and files for your Magento 2 module.

2. Define composer.json

   • Create a composer.json file in the root directory of your module with the following content:

     {
       "name": "simpsons/composermode",
       "description": "A simple Magento 2 module",
       "require": {
         "php": "^8.1"
       },
       "type": "magento2-module",
       "version": "1.0.0",
       "autoload": {
         "files": [
           "registration.php"
         ],
         "psr-4": {
           "Simpsons\\ComposerModule\\": ""
         }
       }
     }

3. Create Module Files

   • Create registration.php and module.xml files as required by Magento 2.

Installing the Module via Composer

1. Install the Module
   • Use the following command to install the module:

     composer require simpsons/composermode dev-main

Requirements

• PHP 8.1 is required for compatibility.

Uploading Your Package to Packagist.org

1. Create an Account on Packagist.org

   • Visit Packagist.org and sign up for a new account.
   • Verify your email address to activate the account.

2. Submit Your Package

   • Once logged in, click on "Submit" in the top menu.
   • Enter the URL of your GitHub repository and click "Check".
   • After validation, submit your package.

Connecting GitHub with Packagist

1. Link Your GitHub Account

   • Go to your Packagist profile and click on "Settings".
   • Click "Link GitHub account" and follow the instructions to authorize Packagist to access your GitHub repositories.

2. Automate Package Updates

   • In your GitHub repository, navigate to "Settings" > "Webhooks".
   • Add a new webhook with the following details:
     • Payload URL: https://packagist.org/api/github
     • Content type: application/json
     • Events: Select "Just the push event".
   • Save the webhook.

Summary

Following the steps above, you can create a simple Magento 2 module, install it using Composer, and manage your package on Packagist.org. Ensure your module meets the PHP 8.1 requirement for compatibility.
