Good example extension with admin menu?

Hi,

"Read the docs" you might say. But, I learn fastest by looking at an example of the full code.

I already know the basics of building a Flarum extension and have released a few. But, I'm wondering if any devs out there might know of a good example of an extension, which is pretty simple, and it allows the user to input something in the admin, and that something saves to a table in the database.

I want to update one of my extensions so that the person inputs text in the admin versus having to manually update a file.

It's this one:

Right now, to update the announcement you have to manually edit a JS file. Hoping to one day turn this into a version where you input the message in the admin area instead. But I'm not a coder. I'm a lover.

010101 We haven't officially released it or anything, but you could try to use our @fof/components github package. Its purpose is to simplify common JavaScript uses, like settings modals.

You can see an example in fof/prevent-necrobumping that shows you how to use it, and run npm i github:friendsofflarum/components to install it before compinling the JS.

If however, you don't want to use another package, you can see how to do it in packages such as fof/custom-footer.

For both cases, you would then load the settings from the backend and pass them to the frontend, see https://github.com/FriendsOfFlarum/custom-footer/blob/master/src/Listeners/LoadSettingsFromDatabase.php for an example on how to do that.
