In the upcoming chapters, you'll follow step-by-step guides to build custom features in Medusa. These guides gradually introduce Medusa's concepts to help you understand what they are and how to use them.
|
|
|
|
By following these guides, you'll add brands to the Medusa application that you can associate with products.
|
|
|
|
To build a custom feature in Medusa, you need three main ingredients:
|
|
|
|
- [Module](../../basics/modules/page.mdx): a re-usable package that defines commerce functionalities for a single domain. It defines new tables to add to the database, and a class of methods to manage these tables.
|
|
- [Workflow](../../basics/workflows/page.mdx): a special function that performs a task in a series of steps with advanced features like roll-back mechanism and retry configurations. The steps of a workflow use functionalities implemented by modules.
|
|
- [API route](../../basics/api-routes/page.mdx): a REST endpoint that exposes commerce features to clients, such as the admin dashboard or a storefront. The API route executes a workflow that implements the commerce feature using modules.
