With a few CLI commands, it generates essential files like `LICENSE`, `composer.json`, and more. Whether starting from scratch or extending existing functionality, `kickstarter` helps streamline development. --- Features -------- [](#features) - **Generate New TYPO3 Extensions**Automates the creation of TYPO3 extensions with pre-configured files. - **CLI Commands for Common Tasks** - Create a new extension - Generate controllers (extbase and native) - Register plugins (extbase and native) - Extend existing controllers with additional actions. - Create basic TCA for tables - Create extbase domain model - Create extbase domain repository - Create extbase type converters - Create event - Create event listener - Create testing environment --- Installation ------------ [](#installation) Install the extension using Composer: ``` composer req --dev friendsoftypo3/kickstarter ``` For DDEV: ``` ddev composer req --dev friendsoftypo3/kickstarter ``` Configuration ------------- [](#configuration) By default, new extensions are created in `typo3temp/kickstarter/[your_ext_key]`. To change this location: - Navigate to **TYPO3 Backend → Admin Tools → Settings → Configure Extensions → `kickstarter`**. - For Composer-based installations, the recommended directory is `packages/`. Usage ----- [](#usage) After installation, you can use the following CLI commands: ### Create a New Extension [](#create-a-new-extension) ``` vendor/bin/typo3 make:extension ``` DDEV: ``` ddev typo3 make:extension ``` **Warning:** This command will ask you to delete an existing extension in the target directory before creating a new one. ### Generate a Controller [](#generate-a-controller) ``` vendor/bin/typo3 make:controller ``` DDEV: ``` ddev typo3 make:controller ``` You will be prompted to select controller actions. Existing actions will not be overwritten. ### Create and Register an Extbase Plugin [](#create-and-register-an-extbase-plugin) ``` vendor/bin/typo3 make:plugin ``` DDEV: ``` ddev typo3 make:plugin ``` ### Create a TCA table [](#create-a-tca-table) ``` vendor/bin/typo3 make:table ``` DDEV: ``` ddev typo3 make:table ``` ### Add testing environment [](#add-testing-environment) ``` vendor/bin/typo3 make:testenv ``` DDEV: ``` ddev typo3 make:testenv ``` ### Create an Event Listener [](#create-an-event-listener) ``` vendor/bin/typo3 make:eventlistener ``` DDEV: ``` ddev typo3 make:eventlistener ``` ### Create an Extbase Model [](#create-an-extbase-model) ``` vendor/bin/typo3 make:model ``` DDEV: ``` ddev typo3 make:model ``` ### Create an Extbase Repository [](#create-an-extbase-repository) ``` vendor/bin/typo3 make:repository ``` DDEV: ``` ddev typo3 make:repository ``` ### Create an Extbase Type Converter [](#create-an-extbase-type-converter) ``` vendor/bin/typo3 make:typeconverter ``` DDEV: ``` ddev typo3 make:typeconverter ``` ### Create an Upgrade Wizard [](#create-an-upgrade-wizard) ``` vendor/bin/typo3 make:upgrade ``` DDEV: ``` ddev typo3 make:upgrade ``` --- Why Use kickstarter ------------------- [](#why-use-kickstarter) Creating TYPO3 extensions often involves repetitive tasks like setting up configuration files and controllers. `kickstarter` automates these steps, saving time and ensuring a consistent structure. --- Special Thanks -------------- [](#special-thanks) Special thanks to [LiteGraph](https://github.com/jagenjo/litegraph.js) for their awesome JS UI library we are using in TYPO3 backend. --- Contributions & Feedback ---------------------------- [](#contributions--feedback) Feedback and contributions are always welcome!
