# Adding a module The replication recipe for the next CRUD module (Inquiries, Bookings, Payments…). Projects is the reference implementation: when this document and the code disagree, **the code wins** — every rule below names the file that proves it. Read `app/Http/Controllers/ProjectController.php`, `app/DataTables/ProjectsDataTable.php` and `app/Http/Requests/Projects/StoreProjectRequest.php` once before you start. Their docblocks carry the reasoning; this page is the order of operations. Throughout, `Thing` is the new resource; `things` its table, `thing` its route parameter, `things.*` its permissions and lang file. --- ## 0. Start from the wireframe, not from the schema Every enum case, every field, every column and its order comes from **wireframe v12, vendored at `docs/wireframes-v12/`**. That is the markup source of truth: it is the client-canonical pack, it lives in this repo, and it is what the projects module was realigned to. Open the add/edit page, the listing page and the detail page for the module first. Since CR-2 (spec §12) v12 is the *styling* source of truth too. Its stylesheet is vendored at `public/assets/css/nrems-wireframe.css`, loads last and wins on class names, so take the classes straight off the v12 page you are copying — `.card`, `.form-section`, `.form-row.form-row-2`, `.detail-grid`, `.data-table`, `.badge.badge-*`. **Before converting a screen, open its wireframe page's own `
