Let us understand the path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A route_name<\/strong> is a unique name that you have to set in routes.xml<\/strong> file for executing the action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The controller<\/strong> is a class that is located in the controller folder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The action<\/strong> is an actual controller class in which there will be an execute() method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Therefore, to execute and run your first Magento 2 extension, let us create routes.xml<\/strong> file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n app\/code\/Meetanshi\/Extension\/etc\/frontend\/routes.xml<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Create routes.xml on this path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now, we are going forward for creating a controller file that is Index.php.<\/p>\n\n\n\n app\/code\/Meetanshi\/Extension\/Controller\/Index\/Index.php<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Utilising the path, use the code given below for creating Index.php<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here, the execute() method is called when the router matches with the controller action class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After creating this file, clear the cache memory. You can also clear cache from the below command.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now, type the URL based on your domain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For example: http:\/\/example.com\/extension\/index\/index<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Based on the path, either you execute on the localhost or live site, the output will be displayed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n By executing the module, Meetanshi Extension <\/strong>will be printed on the frontend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you get the output without any error, that means you have developed controller and route.xml file properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Congratulation! You have got your first Magento 2 extension running successfully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Do consider sharing this blogpost with beginners who are passionate about learning Magento extension development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Read more:<\/p>\n\n\n\n In Magento 2, when you execute code to see the output on the frontend, the action method is used.
