Extending SolidX

This section outlines how to extend SolidX to build your own functional modules, such as a school-fees-portal.

SolidX offers a powerful code generation tool that enables rapid scaffolding of new modules with all the essential boilerplate. This accelerates your development by letting you focus directly on your specific business logic, without worrying about foundational setup.

In addition to scaffolding, SolidX supports deep customization across both frontend and backend layers. You can tailor UI components, introduce new features, or adjust the behavior of existing elements to match your application's needs.

    • Entitities
    • Data Transfer Objects
    • Layout JSON files (for UI configuration)
  • The default layout supports:
