Getting Started with Slate CMS Components

In this tutorial, we'll walk through creating a complete component from scratch. By the end, you'll have a working module with list views, detail forms, settings, and full CRUD.

Prerequisites

You'll need Craft CMS 5 installed with the Slate CMS plugin active. Familiarity with PHP and Twig is helpful but not required.
