How to extend Pagebuilder with custom modules / custom post type?

[jonramvi]

What is the correct way to extend your pagebuilder with a custom module? I have a custom post type which I will create my own view for, but I need to be able to add it to the page.

That is, it it possible without writing files to the parent theme? That would be helpful when it comes to upgrading.

Now I first add the module to the Pagebuilder module’s array:

function add_calender_to_pagebuilder($modules) {
    $modules['ramvi_calendar'] = __('Calendar','ux');
    return $modules;
}
add_filter('ux_pb_config_fields', 'add_calender_to_pagebuilder');

Then I add a file with the same name (ramvi_calendar) to theone\functions\pagebuilder\modules directory.

There is not easy way.

You need add the new module name to array in pagebuilder-modules.php. I suggest you replace a module that you don’t need.

Is there a hard way?
My guess is no. Here’s a way of allowing developers to add modules without editing the parent theme:
In the ux_pb_modules function you use apply_filters which allow me to add my module. But in your ux_pb_require_modules function you don’t allow for dynamic imports. It’s hardcoded to importing from the parent theme. Instead, create an array of the import paths (almost like in the ux_pb_modules function) and use apply filter. I can then find my module and edit it’s path.
