Module Managment

[mucan54]

Maybe some kind of module management can be made for orchid too like this: https://github.com/nWidart/laravel-modules

Hi, what problem do we want to solve? Can you describe?

[mucan54]

No it is not a solution for a problem, you can think it is like a feature, for example I will create a new model with screens and make it as module, and I will be able to use taht module for my future projects or maybe other orchid users can use my modules too.

How I can add new menu items, platform routes, permissions, layouts and screens to existing Orchid project via new Laravel package.

You can heap from this

platform/src/Platform/OrchidServiceProvider.php

Line 10 in 5836935

abstract class OrchidServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider

or call the methods of the Dashboard class yourself

How about platform routes?

[tabuna]

Just like regular routes. You can see the crud package example https://github.com/orchidsoftware/crud/blob/efb145f169254e54fbaf4b9ab24b043c7fd6cec7/src/CrudServiceProvider.php#L46

I have to agree that modules are quite pointless:

1. Packages can do everything a module can
2. Developers have to learn another structure on top of Laravel's. The owner of modules doesn't like Laravel structure, but to me, the solution offered is just to create another similar structure that does the same thing
3. Packages can be shared and installed using Composer, I don't see how a module can be shared that way
