Development Guide ​

Welcome to the Billmora Developer Documentation! This section is dedicated to developers who want to extend Billmora's capabilities by building custom integrations, themes, or exploring our Event-Driven Architecture (EDA).

Core Philosophy ​

Billmora is built heavily around Modularity and Extensibility. We designed the system so you don't need to modify core application files to add new features. Instead, you can leverage:

  • Plugins: Self-contained packages that add functionality such as Payment Gateways, Server Provisioning, or standalone Modules.
  • Events: Hook into application lifecycles (like invoice generation, payment capture, service suspension) to trigger custom logic.
  • Themes: Completely customize the look and feel of specific areas like the admin panel, client portal, email templates, or invoices using Blade components and Tailwind CSS.

Directory Structure ​

When developing for Billmora, you will primarily work within the following directories:

  • /plugin/ - The heart of all third-party and custom extensions. This directory is actively monitored and its classes are autoloaded via the Plugins\ PHP namespace.
    • /plugin/Gateways/ - For adding new payment processors.
    • /plugin/Provisionings/ - For server automation (e.g., Pterodactyl, cPanel).
    • /plugin/Modules/ - For general-purpose add-ons (e.g., Announcements, Affiliates).
  • /resources/themes/ - Where the UI templates and assets are structured. Themes are organized into specific subfolders for their designated areas:
    • /admin/
    • /client/
    • /portal/
    • /email/
    • /invoice/

Tech Stack Overview ​

Billmora utilizes a modern PHP ecosystem:

  • Core Framework: Laravel 12.x
  • Frontend Stack: Tailwind CSS + AlpineJS + Laravel Blade. Livewire 3.x is the primary reactive framework used for dynamic logic and components.
  • Database Architecture: Optimized Eloquent ORM + Event-Driven Auditing Queue.
