Hey andrew,

To extend a plugin’s interface using the ./src/extensions folder in v4 of strapi:

1. Create the ./src/extensions folder at the root of the app, if the folder does not already exist.
2. Create a subfolder with the same name as the plugin to be extended, in your case users-permissions.
3. Depending on what needs to be extended:

• create a strapi-server.js file to extend a plugin’s back end using the Server API
• or create a strapi-admin.js file to extend the admin panel.

Since you are looking for controllers and routes, here is an example of a backend extension:

// path: ./src/extensions/users-permissions/strapi-server.js

module.exports = (plugin) => {
  plugin.controllers.user.find = (ctx) => {
console.log('test');
};

  return plugin;
};

This screenshot for those who was like me )))

Can you answer one more question please, or give me a link. I dont understand about router types (admin or content-api). For what things those types?

Hey @Andrew_Andrew, I’m glad that helped!

Routes are related to your api.

You could have routes for your admin panel, or for the client side API (content-api)

For example, imagine you are developing a custom plugin (or extending one), and you need access to some data in the frontend part of your plugin but ONLY for the admin side. You will create a route with the type of admin-api and you can now make an API call to that custom route/controller and get data that you need.

As expected, the route you created (let’s say /plugin-name/templates), will be added to the settings and you could restrict it by admin roles:

However, you may also need to create controler and a route for the client side with the type content-api, which would allow you to access it like your other content type API’s (/api/restaurant etc…), and restrict it by user role types and as they show up in this section of the settings:

I hope that helps!

All the best

Hi, I followed the above instructions, but when I make the strapi-server.js file, I get strapiServer is not a function error and the server crashes. Any Idea what I’m doing wrong?
