Can a custom module be created locally?

Developer Support CMS Development

When I do hs fetch and download a theme that I’ve created from the developer file system, I notice that my modules are downloaded as directories with a .module suffix, like Banner.module.

Can I also create a new module locally by adding a directory in my /modules folder, such as ProfileSection.module ?

If so, how do I come up with the necessary ids like the module_id in meta.json and the id attributes needed for fields in the fields.json file?

Hey @khookguy !

Yes! You can totally create modules locally and upload!

You could do this manually OR you could use the hs create command

If you are using vscode, make sure to get the vs code extension!

Good luck out there!
