Tea in a nutshell

The example extension ttn/tea was created as an example of best practises on automatic code checks.

In this manual, however we will ignore the testing and just explain how this example extension works. The extension demonstrates basic functionality and is very well tested.

Steps in this tutorial:

1. Extension configuration and installation

   Create the files needed to have a minimal running extension and install it.

2. Directory structure

   Have a look at the directory structure of the example extension and learn which files should go where.

3. The model

   We define a database schema and make it visible to TYPO3. Then we create a PHP class as a model of the real-life tea flavour.

4. The Repository

   The repository helps us to fetch tea objects from the database.

5. The controller

   The controller controls the flow of data between the view and the data repository containing the model.
