This example host container will be at /tmp/pim-standard-edition on our filesystem. Let's say you work for the WorldCompany and the connector name is WorldExtension. A widely used practice is to use the company name as the root namespace. ``` COMPANY_NAME=WorldCompany PIM_PATH=/tmp/pim-standard-edition EXTENSION_NAME=WorldExtension ``` ### Initialisation of the Standard Edition [](#initialisation-of-the-standard-edition) Create a new host project with the Standard Edition ``` composer create-project --prefer-dist akeneo/pim-community-standard ${PIM_PATH} "1.5.*@stable" ``` This will download the standard edition without git informations. At this point, you have three options to develop your extension: - work directly in the standard edition src directory - work in the standard edition src directory via symbolic link - work in the vendors directory #### Workin in the `src` directory [](#workin-in-the-src-directory) In this kind of organization, we will work *inside* the host project. You can work in this mode when you really start your project from scratch. And when you will have made some commmits, you will probably switch working with a symlink or in the vendor directory. ``` pim-standard-edition └── src    └── WorldCompany ├── WorldConnectorExtension.php ├── composer.json └── ... ``` The complete process is detailled in the [install-standalone.md](doc/install-standalone.md) documentation. #### Workin with a symbolic link [](#workin-with-a-symbolic-link) TODO #### Working in the `vendor` directory [](#working-in-the-vendor-directory) If our extension need some composer dependencies, we will have no choice but to work in the `vendor` to make it work with our Standard Edition installation. Best practices -------------- [](#best-practices) We maintain an online documentation about \[best practices for extensions development\] ([http://docs.akeneo.com/latest/reference/best\_practices/reusable\_bundle.html](http://docs.akeneo.com/latest/reference/best_practices/reusable_bundle.html)). \## Features checklist We also maintain a checklist of features you should check for a connector or an extension : [doc/checklist.md](doc/checklist.md) Other documentation ------------------- [](#other-documentation) - Documentation about [creating a connector from scratch](http://docs.akeneo.com/latest/contributing/create_connector.html). - Do not forget to check the [PIM cookbook](http://docs.akeneo.com/latest/cookbook/index.html) ### Health Score 30 — LowBetter than 64% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity16 Limited adoption so far Community19 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity58 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 83.3% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
