Extend LogisBase with Custom Modules
LogisBase is built as an extensible operating system for logistics. Every core feature — FleetOps, Storefront, Ledger — is itself an extension. Build your own modules, publish them to the marketplace, or keep them private for your own deployment.
Every Feature is an Extension
LogisBase is not a monolith — it is an operating system for logistics built from composable extensions. FleetOps, Storefront, Ledger, and Pallet are all extensions that ship with LogisBase. Your custom extension is a first-class citizen with exactly the same capabilities.
Each extension is a combination of an Ember Engine (the frontend module) and a Laravel package (the API backend). The two halves are developed independently and communicate through the LogisBase Core API.

15}Types of Extensions
Extensions range from full-stack modules with custom UIs to lightweight backend integrations.
Full-Stack Extensions
A complete Ember Engine frontend paired with a Laravel API backend. Adds new screens, navigation items, and data models to the console.
Backend-Only Extensions
A Laravel package that adds API endpoints, data models, background jobs, or integrations — without a custom UI.
UI Component Extensions
Ember addons that contribute reusable UI components, widgets, or dashboard panels to existing extensions.
Integration Extensions
Extensions that bridge LogisBase with third-party platforms — shipping carriers, ERPs, payment processors, and more.
From Zero to Published in Four Steps
The LogisBase CLI handles scaffolding, local development, and publishing so you can focus on building.
The CLI scaffolds new extensions, manages dependencies, and handles publishing to the registry.
Generates the full structure: an Ember Engine for the frontend and a Laravel package for the backend, pre-wired together.
Start the development server. Your extension hot-reloads inside a local LogisBase instance as you build.
Package and submit your extension to the LogisBase Extension Registry. Once approved, it appears in the marketplace.
Core Development Frameworks
LogisBase provides dedicated libraries for both the frontend and backend halves of your extension.
logisbase/ember-coreProvides foundational services, adapters, and utilities for initializing and managing your extension's Ember Engine. Handles authentication, routing integration, and cross-extension communication.
Request source accesslogisbase/ember-uiA suite of standardized UI components and styles that match the LogisBase console aesthetic. Tables, modals, forms, maps, and more — all pre-built and ready to use.
Request source accesslogisbase/core-apiThe Laravel package that forms the backbone of every extension backend. Provides the composable REST API framework, shared models, authentication middleware, notifications, and the event system.
Request source accesslogisbase/logisbase-phpPHP SDK for interacting with the LogisBase API from server-side applications and extension backends.
Request source accessThe LogisBase Extension Registry
The LogisBase Extension Registry at registry.logisbase.com is the official package repository for LogisBase extensions. It supports both Composer (PHP) and npm (JavaScript) packages, with built-in validation to ensure every extension meets platform standards.
