With the Extension Generator you can create extensions for different versions of Joomla without coding. I will show how to use it, its theoretical background and how it compares to other solutions.
There are several other services and applications to build Joomla extensions, like Joomla Component Builder and Component Creator. I will discuss the similarities and differences.
The Extension Generator is following a Model Driven approach, like JooMDD did. It consists of three parts:
- A model: a formal description of what you want to build.
- A generator: that generates the concrete extension from the model.
- A meta-level: describing what you want to have in your model.
All three parts are adjustable and extensible! My goal is to eventually do all configurations with forms instead of code.
The Extension Generator is free and open source software. No artificial intelligence, only real one.
