Scale Your App.** Laravel Extension simplifies the management of extensions and plugins within Laravel applications. Stop wiring every feature by hand and start building installable, type-based extensions (e.g. Module, PaymentMethod) with their own migrations, config, routes, and plugins. It offers discovery from registered namespaces, install/uninstall lifecycle with migrations, plugin CRUD with form definitions from each extension, and a kernel that registers and boots only installed extensions. This is where powerful extension management meets developer-friendly simplicity—giving you complete control over extensions and plugins without the complexity. Why Laravel Extension? ---------------------- [](#why-laravel-extension) ### Type-Based Extensions [](#type-based-extensions) Create extensions by type (e.g. Module, ShippingMethod). Each type is registered in ExtensionTypeRegistry (via config or at runtime). Extensions live under a namespace registered in ExtensionNamespaceRegistry (e.g. `App\Extensions`). The kernel discovers extension classes from those namespaces and registers them by type. You get a clear structure: one extension class per type+name, with `extension.json`, migrations, and optional views/translations. ### Install and Uninstall Lifecycle [](#install-and-uninstall-lifecycle) Install an extension by namespace: the package runs its migrations, stores the extension record, and when the extension is not "multiple", creates a default plugin. Uninstall rolls back migrations, deletes plugins, and removes the extension record. InstalledExtensionsFile keeps a JSON cache of installed namespaces so the kernel can load only installed extensions. Upgrade runs new migrations when the extension version increases; you can also delete extension files from disk after uninstall when they live under `App\Extensions`. ### Plugins with Form-Driven Data [](#plugins-with-form-driven-data) Each extension extends AbstractExtension and defines `form()` (FormBuilder) and `handle(array $options)`. Plugins belong to an extension and store name, fields (form output), and status. The Plugin service uses StorePluginRequest/UpdatePluginRequest and the extension’s form to validate and normalize plugin data. You can list plugins, add or edit them per extension, and run extension logic via `handle()` with the plugin’s stored options. ### Kernel: Discover, Register, Boot [](#kernel-discover-register-boot) ExtensionKernel discovers extension classes from ExtensionNamespaceRegistry, registers them in ExtensionRegistry (type => namespaces). It loads only installed extensions from the database, then runs register (configuration, bindings) and boot (migrations, routes, views, translations) per extension in priority order. Route model bindings for `jm_extension` and `jm_plugin` are registered; upgrade and boot run after the app is booted. Optional discover cache (config) avoids filesystem scans on every request. What is Extension Management? ----------------------------- [](#what-is-extension-management) Extension management is the process of defining, discovering, installing, and running extensions and their plugins. In a traditional Laravel application, you might add features by hand in the same codebase with no install/uninstall story. Laravel Extension takes a different approach: - **Discovery**: ExtensionNamespaceRegistry holds namespaces (e.g. `App\Extensions`); ExtensionKernel scans them and registers each extension class in ExtensionRegistry by type (from extension.json or class). - **Types**: ExtensionTypeRegistry holds extension types (e.g. Module) with optional label/description; config `extension.types` seeds it; you can register more at runtime. - **Install/Uninstall**: Extension service installs by FQCN (runs migrations, stores record, optional default plugin), uninstalls (rollback, delete plugins, destroy record), and can delete extension files from disk when uninstalled and under App\\Extensions. - **Plugins**: Each extension can have one or many plugins (when `multiple` in extension.json); Plugin service provides store/update/destroy and storeForExtension/updateForExtension; form and options come from AbstractExtension::form() and handle(). Consider a "Banner" module: you create the extension class under `App\Extensions\Module\Banner`, add `extension.json` (extension, name, version, title, multiple, etc.), add a `migrations` folder with versioned migration files, implement `configuration(ExtensionCore)`, `form()`, and `handle(options)`. After running `php artisan migrate`, you install it via Extension::install(namespace); the kernel then registers and boots it. You add plugins via Plugin::store(extensionId, data); each plugin’s fields are validated by the extension’s form. The power of extension management lies in having a single lifecycle: discover types and classes, install only what you need, and run each extension’s logic through plugins with structured data. What Awaits You? ---------------- [](#what-awaits-you) By adopting Laravel Extension, you will: - **Structure extensions by type** - Module, PaymentMethod, or custom types; each extension has one class, extension.json, and optional migrations and assets - **Install and uninstall cleanly** - Migrations run on install and roll back on uninstall; optional default plugin; delete files when under App\\Extensions - **Manage plugins per extension** - Store and update plugins with form-based validation; run extension logic via handle(options) - **Control discovery and boot** - Registries for namespaces and types; kernel discovers, loads installed only, then registers and boots in priority order - **Use Artisan commands** - extension:make, extension:make-tools, extension:install, extension:uninstall to generate and manage extensions - **Integrate with the rest of the stack** - Laravel Layout can position plugins; events cover install, uninstall, delete, and plugin CRUD; facades and helpers (extension\_install, extension\_uninstall) for easy access Quick Start ----------- [](#quick-start) Install Laravel Extension via Composer: ``` composer require jobmetric/laravel-extension ``` Documentation ------------- [](#documentation) Ready to transform your Laravel applications?
