What are your "top 10" developer how to questions?

Hi all,

here are also to dev question we often struggle with

• how to create an address field using code (for a new module for instance)
• how to create and email address field using code (for a new module for instance)

Fred

Frédéric may I ask what is the reason to create those fields using code instead of Studio?

Frédéric may I ask what is the reason to create those fields using code instead of Studio?

when using studio

• it will create a custom table (and I am not a huge fan of 1-1 relationship)
• it will store the field (part of it) in DB instead of file system (so less practical for source versionning, deployement etc.)
• I don't understang how to create an email address using the studio

moreover, we often need to add an additionnal field (for instance to split the street and the street number) to the address block or to replace the varchar country with a dropdown field, or we often reorganize the layout (region, postal code, country etc.) of the address field
