WTF is extension?

Extension is a core feature enhancer that has a higher level than plugin. An extension doesn’t have to change the behavior of your site directly, it can also be used as an API enhancer that does nothing until you use it on a particular plugin or shield, or even in a private function file that you have.

An extension is a folder with a unique name, stored in .\lot\extend folder:

lot\
└── extend\
    ├── asset\
    ├── page\
    ├── extension-1\
    ├── extension-2\
    ├── …
    └── …

A standard extension should at least contains files that structured like this:

extension-1\
├── engine\
│   ├── kernel\
│   │   └── extension-1.php
│   ├── plug\
│   │   └── extension-1.php
│   └── fire.php
├── lot\
│   ├── asset\
│   │   ├── .htaccess
│   │   ├── css\
│   │   └── js\
│   ├── language\
│   │   ├── en-us.page
│   │   └── id-id.page
│   └── state\
│       └── config.php
├── about.page
└── index.php

But the simplest one can be achieved as:

extension-1\
├── about.page
└── index.php

Note: The .htaccess file is required to enable access of the asset files publicly. It only contains this command:

allow from all

The most important part is the index.php file. The automatic extension loader will seek for index.php file and once it found, then the engine will include it before the shield is loaded.
