# 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.
|
|
|
|
Some 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.
|
|
|
|
Extensions folder structure:
|
|
|
|
- `extensions/`
|
|
- `**`: Plugin Id
|
|
- `admin`: You can extend a plugin's admin by creating a file with the same name, doing so will override the original one.
|
|
- `config`: You can extend a plugin's configuration by adding 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 creating controllers with the same names and override certain methods
|
|
- `services`: You can extend the plugin's services by creating services with the same names and override certain methods
|
|
|
|
## Admin extension
|
|
|
|
The admin panel is a `node_module` that is similar to a plugin but the slight difference that it encapsulate all the installed plugin of your application.
|
|
|
|
To extend this package you will have to create an `admin` folder at the root of your application.
|
|
|
|
In this folder you will be able to override admin files and functions.
