### What does it do?

[](#what-does-it-do)

This extension

- generates the TCA for your domain models by reading their php attributes
- offers autocompletion for TCA by constructor properties of attribute classes
- generates database definitions for your domain models
- simplifies the registration of modules, plugins and page types
- automatically registers existing FlexForms, TypoScript and icons
- provides an easy-to-use frontend file upload with automatic reference creation to given domain models
- provides an optimized TranslateViewHelper with additional options (e.g. plural forms and better variable syntax)
- allows the definition of frontend variables which can be used all over the site (e.g. IBAN or telephone numbers)
- provides convenient ways to access often used core-functionalities

#### IMPORTANT

[](#important)

foundation is designed to simplify common recurrent settings. Although it offers a versatile set of configurations and tools, you may not be able to map certain complex scenarios with it. But you can still make use of this extension. For example, you can use the auto-generation of the TCA and add special settings via files in `TCA/Overrides/` as usual.

### Why should you use it?

[](#why-should-you-use-it)

The goal of this extension is to

- bring together different points of configuration to improve readability, maintainability and development time
- allow code completion for TCA-settings
- reduce duplicated code
- reduce number of hard-coded string identifiers and keys, and therefore the likelihood of errors due to typos

### Getting started

[](#getting-started)

Create the following file: `EXT:your_extension/Classes/Data/ExtensionInformation.php`. Define the class and make it extend `PSBits\Foundation\Data\AbstractExtensionInformation`.

Example:

```
