How to create plugin configuration in Shopware?

Plugin configuration enables the admin user to control the plugin's features and its configurations from Shopware backend. It's easy to create plugin configurations in Shopware and utilize the stored configuration in the store. Before that, you must know how to create a custom plugin in Shopware.

Create config.xml file inside your plugin directory //custom/plugins/WebbytroopsShopFinder/src/Resources/config/config.xml. We have created a configuration with an input filed

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/shopware/platform/trunk/src/Core/System/SystemConfig/Schema/config.xsd">
    <card>
        <title>Minimal configuration</title>
        <title lang="de-DE">German Minimal configuration</title>
        <input-field type="text">
            <name>title</name>
            <label>Title</label>
            <placeholder>Title</placeholder>
            <required>1</required>
            <helpText>Title is the main primary section to enter</helpText>
        </input-field>
    </card>
</config>

Go to your store configuration page to update the value for the title field. You can find it under Extensions > My Extension > Shop Finder. You will have output similar to shared screenshot below:

If you have output with the above code, you have successfully created configuration for your plugin. It is simple process to create admin interface without any knowledge of backend architecture. Use the tags and put all your fields under the tags. There should be at least one and one to implement the configuration. Shopware does not come only with an input field text, there are several other input fields available. We will see those fields in brief along with the tags used in the config.xml file.

Configuration elements:

<Card>: Cards are simply a wrapper for your field that groups similar configurations in a single place. You can add a number of cards and add a number of fields there.
