Developing Enso Packages

Best Practice

When adding an Enso module to your app, it is best practice to create a new Service Provider and register it in config/app.php.

Within this, you should register any app-specific content and overrides to the module, or apply any alterations to the MenuItem specific to it.

Feature Toggles

If you implement a module or feature which may impede development if always on/off you can and should hide it behind a feature toggle. Using Mailer as an example, this could involve:

• Create a config property, e.g. enso.features.mailer.enabled.
• Allow overriding this value in the .env file and give it a sensible default. E.g. enabled => env('ENSO_MAILER_ENABLED', false),.
• If any content requires your feature to be enabled, wrap it in a conditional. E.g.:

    if (config('enso.features.mailer.enabled')) {
        // Do things that require the mailer here
    }
