# Modules

The Bluehost WordPress Plugin is a **collection of Newfold modules**: it provides the Bluehost brand shell (menu, routing, runtime data) and pulls in shared functionality via Composer. Each module is a separate package under **`vendor/newfold-labs/`**, registered with the Newfold Module Loader and configured through the plugin’s container and context. See [architecture.md](architecture.md) for how the module system works.

The modules listed below are the ones present in **`vendor/newfold-labs/`** when dependencies are installed. Versions and the exact set are defined in **`composer.json`** (and lock file); this doc is a snapshot of what each package does.

Modules are grouped by **hierarchy**: foundation layers (loader, context, runtime) come first; core infrastructure (activation, data, features) builds on that; user-facing features, AI/integrations, and platform/security/utilities follow. This order reflects how the system is layered and how modules depend on one another.

## Adding or updating modules

Modules are Composer dependencies. To add or change a module:

1. Edit **`composer.json`** under `require` (e.g. `"newfold-labs/wp-module-*": "^x.y.z"`).
2. Run **`composer update newfold-labs/<package>`** (or `composer install` after changing the lock file).
3. Rebuild the plugin and run tests; some modules register admin pages, assets, or portal divs (see [architecture.md](architecture.md) and [frontend.md](frontend.md)).

Module source is installed under **`vendor/newfold-labs/`** (with `preferred-install: "source"` for `newfold-labs/*` in this plugin). The Newfold Satis repository is used for these packages; see [workflows.md](workflows.md) for release and Satis triggers.
