Dependency Injection (DI)\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n

Magento uses DI to manage object dependencies for configuration and testing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Use Cases:<\/b> Replacing services, injecting helpers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

PHP Example:<\/b>
\n<\/span>class CustomCheckout { <\/span><\/i>
\n<\/span><\/i>\u00a0 protected $cart; <\/span><\/i>
\n<\/span><\/i>\u00a0 public function __construct(\\Magento\\Checkout\\Model\\Cart $cart) { <\/span><\/i>
\n<\/span><\/i> $this->cart = $cart; <\/span><\/i>
\n<\/span><\/i>\u00a0 } <\/span><\/i>
\n<\/span><\/i>}\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Best Practices:<\/b> Use constructor injection, prefer interfaces. <\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”10px”][vc_column_text css=””]Observers and Events\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Observers listen to Magento events to execute custom logic.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Example:<\/b> WhatsApp notification after order placement.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

events.xml:<\/b>
\n<\/span><event name=”checkout_onepage_controller_success_action”> <\/span><\/i>
\n<\/span><\/i>\u00a0 <observer name=”custom_notify_observer” instance=”Vendor\\Module\\Observer\\OrderSuccess”\/> <\/span><\/i>
\n<\/span><\/i><\/event>\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Tips:<\/b> Keep logic slim, delegate to service classes.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”10px”][vc_column_text css=””]Plugins (Interceptors)\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Modify public method behavior without overriding the class.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Example:<\/b> Cart price logic.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

di.xml:<\/b>
\n<\/span><type name=”Magento\\Checkout\\Model\\Cart”> <\/span><\/i>
\n<\/span><\/i>\u00a0 <plugin name=”custom_cart_plugin” type=”Vendor\\Module\\Plugin\\Cart”\/> <\/span><\/i>
\n<\/span><\/i><\/type>\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Plugin Example:<\/b>
\n<\/span>class Cart { <\/span><\/i>
\n<\/span><\/i>\u00a0 public function afterGetQuote($subject, $result) { <\/span><\/i>
\n<\/span><\/i> return $result; <\/span><\/i>
\n<\/span><\/i>\u00a0 } <\/span><\/i>
\n<\/span><\/i>}\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Best Practices:<\/b> Use ‘around’ cautiously for performance. <\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”10px”][vc_column_text css=””]Class Preference Override<\/b>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Override the core class with a custom one.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

di.xml:<\/b>
\n<\/span><preference for=”Magento\\Contact\\Model\\MailInterface” <\/span><\/i>
\n<\/span><\/i>type=”Vendor\\Module\\Model\\CustomMail”\/>\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Best Practices:<\/b> Use sparingly, prefer plugins or observers. <\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”10px”][vc_column_text css=””]Custom API Integration (REST & GraphQL)\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

REST Route: <\/b>
\n<\/span><route url=”\/V1\/customapi” method=”GET”>…<\/route>\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Interface:<\/b>
\n<\/span>interface CustomApiInterface { public function getApiData(); }\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

GraphQL:<\/b>
\n<\/span>type Query { customData: [CustomType] @resolver(class: “…”) }\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Tips:<\/b> Document endpoints, add authentication. <\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”10px”][vc_column_text css=””]UI Components & Knockout.js\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Enable dynamic Magento UIs with Knockout.js.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Use:<\/b> Custom checkout steps.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

XML Form:<\/b>
\n<\/span><form>…<\/form><\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Knockout Template:<\/b>
\n<\/span><input type=”text” data-bind=”value: customData” \/><\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Tip:<\/b> Use browser tools for debugging. <\/span><\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”10px”][vc_column_text css=””]Layout XML & PHTML Overrides\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Change the frontend layout or template.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Example:<\/b>
\n<\/span><referenceBlock name=”minicart” template=”Vendor_Module::cart\/minicart.phtml”\/>\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Best Practice:<\/b> Never modify core files.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

JavaScript Mixins\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Inject custom JS without core changes.<\/span><\/p>\n

requirejs-config.js: <\/span><\/i>
\n<\/span><\/i>var config = { mixins: { ‘Magento_Checkout\/js\/view\/shipping’: { ‘Vendor_Module\/js\/view\/shipping-mixin’: true }}};\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Mixin: <\/span><\/i>
\n<\/span><\/i>define(function () { return function (target) { … return target; }; });<\/span><\/i>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”10px”][vc_column_text css=””]Best Practices, Testing & Upgrade\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n
