Create new module with form

[AlexMesquita]

Hey guys,

Im creating a new module for magento 2 that I need to add some configurations inside backend.

How can I do that?

Hi @AlexMesquita

okay - you actually need to create system.xml file inside your custom module to create system conifguration field.

i assume , you already created your custom module if not - magento have very well explained on devdocs how to create custom module with video here is the link - https://devdocs.magento.com/videos/fundamentals/create-a-new-module/

If you wanted to create system configuration as mention above create system.xml file in your custom module and add whatever field you wanted to add , or wanted to modify existing field.

here is the full reference link how to create configuration using custom module

Hi @AlexMesquita

Yes , you are correct !! you need to create controller which takes data from that form and stores in your custom table of database.
