Enable or disable your component

After you have built the component and are ready to enable it in your Magento environment, do the following:

1. Disable the cache under System->Cache Management.

2. Enter the following in the command line:

   1
   bin/magento module:enable --clear-static-content Component_Name
   

   1
   bin/magento setup:upgrade
   

   1
   bin/magento cache:clean
   

   Where Component_Name is the name of the component you are enabling.

3. Check that the component is enabled:

   1
   bin/magento module:status <extension-name>
   

   An extension name uses the format: <VendorName>_<ComponentName>.

   Sample response:

   1
   Module is enabled
   

Order of operations

The general order of operations for setup:upgrade is:

1. Schema install/upgrade.
2. Schema post-upgrade— handles any additional updates. These recurring upgrades occur independently and regardless of any changes to the schema.
3. Data install/upgrade — installs the data. Taken from setup/InstallData.php.
