Could someone possibly explain the structure and what files are for in a CRUD module? I have created by module by following a guide online, and its working great and printing out my database fields on the page, but i'm a bit confused as to what some of the files do?
Here are my files so far and what i've gathered they do
Vendor/Module/Api/Data/PostInterface.php
I have no idea what the interface file does, some guides have it and some do not and I can't seem to make sense of it.
Vendor/Module/Block/PostList.php
The block file that connects directly to my template files for rendering data in the templates and layout.
Vendor/Module/Controller/Index/Index.php
The index file that renders the template for the requested page?
Vendor/Module/etc/frontend/routes.xml
The xml file that specifies the routes for the url.
Vendor/Module/etc/module.xml
The module declaration xml file.
Vendor/Module/Model/ResourceModel/PostModel/Collection.php
I think this file is the one that connects to the database?
Vendor/Module/Model/ResourceModel/PostModel.php
I have no idea what the resource model does.
Vendor/Module/Model/PostModel.php
Our actual model file.
Vendor/Module/Setup/InstallSchema.php
The file that installs the database tables.
Vendor/Module/view/frontend/layout/postmodel_index_index.xml
The index layout file.
Vendor/Module/view/frontend/templates/list.phtml
The template file that we connect to our block to load data.
I'm fairly new to magento 2, and I haven't used magento 1 before. I think I have a basic understanding of what all the files do, but if someone could briefly explain exactly what each of the files are for, i'd be very grateful!
Thanks in advance
