Every example i see for creating custom modules makes a simple "Hello world". How do i create a more complex php custom block?

I'm tyring to replicate a scrolling calendar that i have working in Drupal 7.

Lots of php code, some javascript. Any examples ?

Thank you

Pretty much any and every available D8 module can serve as a model for what you want to do.

D8 module development involves creating a lot of metadata plumbing that defined "routing" and "namespacing", in addition to the primary functionality of the module implements.

There are also plenty of youtube videos that walk through building a variety of types of D8 modules, beyond "hello world" to more complex functionality.
