How to Create Module in Magento 2

How to implement Service Contracts for custom module in Magento 2

Magento 2 Enable/Disable module

To create a new module in Magento 2, we need to follow next steps:

Create module folder

Create module folder within app/code with VendorName_ModuleName name, in our example, it will be MageDirect_ModuleExample

Create etc/module.xml file

Create etc/module.xml file with the next content:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
       xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:Module/etc/module.xsd">
   <module name="MageDirect_ModuleExample" setup_version="0.1.0"/>
</config>

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:Module/etc/module.xsd">

</config>

Create registration.php file

<?php
\Magento\Framework\Component\ComponentRegistrar::register(
   \Magento\Framework\Component\ComponentRegistrar::MODULE,
   'MageDirect_ModuleExample',
   __DIR__
);

<?php

\Magento\Framework\Component\ComponentRegistrar::register(

\Magento\Framework\Component\ComponentRegistrar::MODULE,

'MageDirect_ModuleExample',

__DIR__

);

Enable the module

Enable the module by running next commands :

php bin/magento module:enable MageDirect_ModuleExample
php bin/magento setup:upgrade

1 2	php bin/magento module:enable MageDirect_ModuleExample php bin/magento setup:upgrade

All is done!

Now you can check your module status:

php bin/magento module:status
