QBit Template: Extension
Template repository for creating QQQ Extension QBits - infrastructure extensions, customizers, and action handlers.
What is an Extension QBit?
Extension QBits extend or enhance how QQQ operates at the infrastructure/framework level. They provide:
- New backend implementations
- Authentication mechanisms
- Audit capabilities
- Table customizers
- Action handlers
Quick Start
Requires Java 21, Maven 3.8+, and QQQ 4.0.0. Create your repository, customize its Maven coordinates and Java package/classes, implement the table customizer, then run mvn clean verify. See Getting Started.
