[](#dependencies)

- SilverStripe 4

Installation
============

[](#installation)

1. `composer require jaedb/ModuleManager`
2. Run /dev/build?flush=1
3. Setup your Module Positions. There is an initial `after_content` area setup to get you started.
4. Insert your Module Positions in your template (ie `$ModuleArea(after_content)`)

Usage
=====

### Create a module area

[](#create-a-module-area)

1. Edit your `app/_config/config.yml` file to add any additional module areas. Use the following format:

```

2. In your template, use the code `$ModulePosition(ALIAS)` where ALIAS is your position's alias string.
3. Run dev/build (`/dev/build?flush=all`)
