Building a Craft CMS Dashboard Widget

Getting Set Up with the Module

Ryan walks through the module we'll use to house our widget and how to get it up and running.

We’ll use the mod­ule Widgetopia as our start­ing point. If you haven’t yet cre­at­ed a mod­ule for Craft CMS, then I encour­age you to use the course I cre­at­ed on build­ing your first Craft mod­ule to learn more about mod­ules in Craft. If you’re not famil­iar with installing a Craft mod­ule, then my video from the Mod­ule course might be help­ful. Addi­tion­al­ly, you can refer to the offi­cial Craft doc­u­men­ta­tion on set­ting up class autoload­ing and updat­ing the appli­ca­tion con­fig to make it aware of the mod­ule and to boot­strap it.
