Steps

  1. Run MokoJoomla: Scaffold from the Command Palette.
  2. Pick the extension type (component / module / plugin / template / library / package).
  3. Enter the one-word product name (e.g. MokoSuiteCRM).
  4. MokoJoomla writes the skeleton with the right folder layout, a Type - Name manifest, and the correct manifest filename (plugins get <element>.xml, not <group>_<element>.xml).

After scaffolding

The built-in diagnostics immediately validate the new files, and MokoJoomla: Build produces an installable package. Part of the Moko VS Code suite.
