Modules

Modules are the building blocks of Leaf. They are independent pieces of Leaf's functionality available for use in your app. They are designed to be simple, easy to use, framework-agnostic, and can be used in any PHP project with nearly zero configuration.

Installing Modules

Modules are just like regular PHP packages. You can install them using Composer. To install a module, run:

composer require leafs/<module>

If you're using Leaf CLI, you can install a module without the leafs/ prefix:

leaf install <module>

Using Modules

Most modules integrate directly into Leaf, so you can use them with Leaf's functional mode. This gives you a little more performance and flexibility. The documentation for each module covers everything you need to know about using the module.
