Module creating differences in PW3?

[benbyf]

Hello,

Looking to start making modules (and then writing about the adventure) but I just wanted to check whether there were many differences between PW2 and PW3 module creation and whether I'll have to pick a camp to start with?

Thanks

• Many ProcessWire 2 modules will work in ProcessWire 3, thanks to the compiler. So, you code as 'normal'
• If you want a PW3-only module, just add namespace ProcessWire at the top of the module class
• There's some stuff that will only be supported in ProcessWire 3. If you want to leverage those and don't care about PW2, then go for 3 directly. Otherwise, if you have the resources and can support both, then go for two separate PW2 and PW3 modules.
• PW2 will still be around for a while .....but to PW3 we'll 'all'(?) go..eventually...so..
