# Customization

## Plugin extensions
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In strapi you can install plugins in your `node_modules`. This allows for easy updates and respect best practices. To customize those installed plugins you can work in the `/extensions` directory. It contains all the plugins' customizable files.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Certain plugins will create files in these folders so you can then modify them. You can also create certain files manually to add some custom configuration for example.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Depending on the plugins you will find extension documentation directly in the plugin's documentation.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Extensions folder structure:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- `extensions/`
|
||
|
|
- `**`: Plugin Id
|
||
|
|
- `admin`: You can extend a plugin's admin by create file with the same names and override certain methods
|
||
|
|
- `config`: You can extend a plugin's configuration by add a settings.json file with your custom configuration
|
||
|
|
- `models`: Contains the plugin's models that you have overwritten (e.g: When you add a relation to the User model)
|
||
|
|
- `controllers`: You can extend the plugin's controllers by create controllers with the same names and override certain methods
|
||
|
|
- `services`: You can extend the plugin's services by create services with the same names and override certain methods
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Admin extension
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The admin panel is symilar as a plugin. It's a `node_module` exactly like a plugin.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To extend the admin panel you will have to create an `admin` folder in your application.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In this folder you will be able to override admin flies and functions.
