Concepts

Before building Administration extensions, it helps to understand a few core concepts used by the Meteor Admin SDK.

These concepts explain how extensions are rendered, where UI can be injected, and how data is accessed.

Concepts overview

• Architecture: explains how the SDK communicates with the Shopware Administration and how requests are handled internally.
• Locations: determine where extension code runs.
• Positions: identify extendable areas of the Administration UI.
• Component Sections: render custom components inside extension points.
• Selectors: retrieve specific fields from Administration data.
• Data Handling: represent the data published by the Administration that extensions can read, subscribe to, or update.
