Creating your first SDK module

Modules live in the /userland/sdk/module/installed directory

Meta

Each module must include meta data such as a title, description and author in order to properly identify it to the user.

Version

The module version identifier. This numeric value is used to identify when a new version is available.

Template

Each resource in an SDK module is a class extending an abstract template class. Resources must implement this template, otherwise modules will not be executed.

Gateway

Each resource is instantiated with a gateway parameter in the constructor. The gateway parameter stores external data passed in from the caller. For example, each service module is passed an instance.id parameter to identify which instance should be acted upon.

Foreign function interface

The foreign function interface allows you to interface with the system to execute certain functions such as changing a clients' name or starting a new child process on a node. The FFI classes can be accessed using the \GameDash\Sdk\FFI namespace.
