Hello Drupal Community,

I’m a new Drupal developer and would like to learn how to create a custom module in Drupal 9/10. Could someone guide me through the basic steps or share a reliable tutorial?

Here’s what I’ve tried so far:

  1. Created a folder under /modules/custom/my_module.

  2. Added a my_module.info.yml file with basic details.

  3. Created a my_module.module file with a simple hook.

However, my module isn’t appearing in the Extend list. Am I missing something? Any advice or resources would be greatly appreciated!

You can generate a custom module with the following Drush command:
drush generate module
And then install the module using the following command:
drush en -y [module_name]
Also, you may play with the Module Builder module.

Here is a one tutorial "Creating modules" (you can find others on youtube).

In the specific case of what you have now, did you clear cache? Can the web server read the directory/files? Start with an info.yml file from another module and modify it, your YML might be wrong.
