ModuleBuilder

Lets you build a full module for the Bonfire (http://cibonfire.com/) app. Controllers, views, models, language, migration and Javascript files are built very quickly by filling out a single form

• Includes form validation
• Retain POST values on page refresh, form is auto populated with POST
• Show each field error
• English Language file generated

Install

• Drop the module into the bonfire/modules folder
• Edit the config file if required

What now

• Navigate to the /admin/developer/modulebuilder page
• Fill in your fields on the form
• Click Build
• You will see the list of generated files
• If generated, rename the Migrations file (adding the correct number) and move it into the db/migrations folder
• You will need to edit the generated code as required
• Edit the language file and add your own as required
