How to develop a prestashop 8 theme ?

[ElFamosoWilli]

Hello guys, I'am a new developper really interested in using prestashop 8 for an e-commerce website,

here is the thing , I am stuck because I don't fully understand how to use the tool,

I went to the developper documentation and I didn't fully understand how to start from the beggining ,

for context I used wordpress and symfony in the past  and I knew what to do  to add pages ,controllers and routes

to make it work , do you know ressources that could help me to understand the steps to do it properly ? I searched on google and on youtube

but most of the content I found was no code content , I may have missed things (I hope so) .

 

Thanks for your time !

The offical doc is quite good

For code you can simple take default classic theme as example.

Thanks for your response , I believed I had the wrong approach for developping a prestashop theme , I would have liked to start with a "bearbone" type of approach but I saw that you needed to start from a parent theme , was I wrong ?

You can start from scratch but with using classic theme as starting point will be much easier e.g to implement all hooks and have a propoer stucture
