Matchbox is a set of extended libraries for CodeIgniter that lets you organize your application in small components, which I will refer to as modules. These modules have several advantages, the main one being portability. Modules are stored in their own folders and so they can be reused in other applications or shared between users by copying just that one folder.

Learn it

So where to begin? First of all you will need to download and install the required files, more on which can be found in the Installation Guide. When that's sorted out, you should read the Introduction and learn the basics about modules and modularity in general.

If you wish to develop open source modules and release them to the public, I strongly encourage you to take a look at the Standards. It will give you some basic guidelines to follow in order to avoid problems with other peoples modules and improve the overall experience for the end user. Actually, it's a good read even if you don't plan to release your modules at all.

Talk about it

If you have any questions, encounter problems or believe you have found a bug, please post it in Matchbox Support before you submit an issue here. Additionally, if you have ideas or suggestions the place to go is Matchbox Development, which also serves as a place to discuss the future development of Matchbox.
