Developing an OpenCart module (my first time with this platform), I've created my module skeleton, for now I have my_module.php with install, uninstall, addModule and editModule methods + my_module.twig with my module view. Module is installable and editable, but I have problem with my module custom endpoints (front-end part of the module built in Vue.js and I need to somehow fit it in OpenCart module scheme):
My module main URL in OpenCart is : http://localhost/opencart_dev/admin/ind ... _id=someId
In order to my module actually work I need to pots/get data to various endpoints (admin-side endpoints) like:
http://localhost/opencart_dev/admin/ind ... dule/login
http://.../my_module/register
http://.../my_module/setting etc...
Basically what I need from OpenCart is something like register_rest_route() methods in Wordpress or front/admin controllers in PrestaShop?
How can I achieve it in Opencart?
Simply send the request (get or post) to the module like:
and inside the function
you do what you want to do.
If you want to send back some data, do it via (e.g. a message, a new result, etc.)
That result is sent to the view where you assign it to a placeholder or display a message.
Basically, everything exists if you study a bit the existing shop you already have in your hands.
Code: Select all
index.php?route=extension/module/my_module/recieveGet
Code: Select all
public function recieveGet()
If you want to send back some data, do it via (e.g. a message, a new result, etc.)
Code: Select all
$this->response->addHeader( 'Content-Type: application/json' );
$this->response->setOutput( json_encode( $result ) );

Thanks a lot! That was the thing I was searching for.
I've tried to search something about composer in modules, but couldn't find anything.
So there goes my second question - I really need to use some libraries installed via composer, is there any way to do it in my module? When I try to add my vendor files into my module library folder it doesn't seem to work. Classes are not found, problably because they're not autoloaded, when I change 'use' for 'require_once' it starts to work, but changeing it in all my libraries doesn't seem to be a good idea.
Can I add some libs to the main opencart composer and force update it while installing a module? Or there is some other way around it?
