Installation
Composer installation:
composer require ppl/module-dev-create-orders
bin/magento module:enable Ppl_Hub Ppl_DevTool Ppl_DevCreateCustomers Ppl_DevCreateOrders
bin/magento setup:upgrade
bin/magento setup:di:compile
bin/magento cache:clean
Manual app/code installation: copy the module to app/code/Ppl/DevCreateOrders, install the dependencies listed above, then run the same Magento commands without the Composer step.
First Use
- Install Ppl_DevCreateCustomers, Ppl_DevTool, and Ppl_Hub first.
- Create or import test products before generating item-rich orders.
- Run report indexers or report screens after generation when validating analytics modules.
Admin entry: PPL Hub > PPL Dev Tool > Create Order.
Integrations And Boundaries
- Feeds PPL report modules, OrderMetrics, ActionWidget, DashboardWidgetsPro, and demo stores with sales history.
- Intended for development, QA, demo, or disposable staging environments. Do not treat generated data as production merchant data.

Compatibility
Each Magento release line is installed on its supported PHP versions, then the module is built (DI compilation + static-content deploy) and its unit and integration suites are run. The matrix shows the lines and PHP versions the module is confirmed to install and run on. Code-quality results further down (phpstan, phpcs, …) are reported separately and never affect compatibility.
Code Quality
Advisory checks against the module's source. Static analysis runs once across the whole module; PHPStan re-runs per Magento + PHP version because resolvable symbols differ between releases. These NEVER affect the Compatibility badge. A phpcs finding can't make a module incompatible.
Static analysis
Coding standards (phpcs), mess detection (phpmd), copy-pasted code (cpd), PHP cross-version compatibility, composer.json validity. Each runs once for the whole module.
| Tool | Status | Findings | Summary |
|---|---|---|---|
| PHPCS | Pass | 0 | |
| PHPMD | Warning | 16 | 16 rule violations (CyclomaticComplexity:4, ExcessiveMethodLength:3, NPathComplexity:3, ExcessiveClassLength:1, TooManyMethods:1) |
| Cpd | Warning | 1 | 1 duplicated chunk spanning 20 total lines (min-lines=5, min-tokens=70) |
| Composer validate | Info | 1 | valid; 1 advisory note (composer validate --strict) |
PHPStan
Type-checks the module's PHP against a real Magento install at the configured gate level. Re-runs per Magento and PHP version because resolvable symbols differ between releases.
Tests
Unit and integration suites, run for each applicable Magento and PHP version. A test failure speaks to the module's behaviour, not its compatibility with a Magento line, so it is reported here separately and never reddens the compatibility matrix.
Unit tests
Integration tests
| Magento | PHP 8.2 | PHP 8.3 | PHP 8.4 | PHP 8.5 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2.4.7 | N/A | N/A | ||
| 2.4.8 | N/A | N/A | ||
| 2.4.9 | N/A | N/A |
Security
Security checks run directly against the module: an audit of its declared dependencies for known vulnerabilities (composer audit) and a scan of its source for malware and web-shell signatures. Each runs once. A malware detection fails the version outright.
