Features of your application should be grouped by module.

A module is a directory which contains :

• controllers
• business classes
• templates
• jdao files
• jform files
• localization files

In general, all files inside a same module are about a same fonctionnal domain. For exemple, a "news" module contains all files to display or manage news.

In an application, you should have at least one module which you should create. In general this module is the main module, which contains for example the home page of your application.

Note that your application has natively another module, called "jelix" and stored in lib/jelix/core-modules/jelix.

Now, let's see how we create a module and a controller.
