Components

Components are the building blocks of the application. They are defined under the components: namespace in the configuration files.

The components are used for access control by the permissions system. In the following example, a basic component called dashboard is created. It is now possible to control who has access to this component via Permissions System

components:
  dashboard:
    path: 'dashboard'
    enabled: true

Convention

• Component names can be either singular or plural.
• Class names are uppercase and include the :: separator for the namespace
• Views are based on the class name. They are lowercase and the :: separator is replaced by the underscore.

Adding Entry

• app\models\entries[Singular Component Name]

Autoloadable

• The auto-loadable utilizes the class name to find a component. Therefore it is important that the components have the same name as a class.
• Components, with namespaces, such as elements are turned into elements_component name.
