- If you're displaying errors to developers do not translate these (i.e. do not use `\Yii::t()`). Errors should be
translated only if they're displayed to end users.
- Extension SHOULD NOT use class prefixes (i.e. `TbNavBar`, `EMyWidget`, etc.)
- Extension MUST provide a valid autoloading configuration in `composer.json`. Details can be found in the [composer documentation](http://getcomposer.org/doc/04-schema.md#autoload) or see all [official Yii2 extensions](https://github.com/yiisoft/yii2/tree/master/extensions/yii) for example.
### Namespace and package names

where `ru` is your language code. If extension provides a widget it is a good idea to include some screenshots.
- It is recommended to host your extensions at [Github](github.com).
- Extension MUST be registered at [Packagist](https://packagist.org).
- TBD: composer.json
- Extension MUST provide a valid autoloading configuration in `composer.json`.
### composer.json
If your extension classes reside directly in repository root use PSR-4 the following way in your `composer.json`:
```
{
"name": "samdark/yii2-iconized-menu-widget",
"description": "IconizedMenu automatically adds favicons in front of menu links",
"keywords": ["yii", "extension", "favicon", "menu", "icon"],
"homepage": "https://github.com/samdark/yii2-iconized-menu-widget",
"type": "yii2-extension",
"license": "BSD-3-Clause",
"authors": [
{
"name": "Alexander Makarov",
"email": "sam@rmcreative.ru"
}
],
"require": {
"yiisoft/yii2": "*"
},
"autoload": {
"psr-4": {
"samdark\\widgets\\": ""
}
}
}
```
In the above `samdark/yii2-iconized-menu-widget` is the package name that will be registered
at [Packagist](https://packagist.org). It is common for it to match your github repository. `"type": "yii2-extension"`
is mandatory in order for extension to be properly installed.
We're using `psr-4` autoloader and mapping `samdark\widgets` namespace to the root directory where our classes reside.
More details can be found in the [composer documentation](http://getcomposer.org/doc/04-schema.md#autoload).
