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 Idadmin: 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 configurationmodels: 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 methodsservices: 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.
