## Installing a Module
|
||||
|
||||
There are two ways to add a module to your project:
|
||||
To use a published module from NPM, install the package and add it to your config:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **NPM**: install an NPM package, like [`@wxt-dev/auto-icons`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@wxt-dev/auto-icons) and add it to your config:
|
||||
```ts [wxt.config.ts]
|
||||
export default defineConfig({
|
||||
modules: ['@wxt-dev/auto-icons'],
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```ts [wxt.config.ts]
|
||||
export default defineConfig({
|
||||
modules: ['@wxt-dev/auto-icons'],
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
> Searching for ["wxt module"](https://www.npmjs.com/search?q=wxt%20module) on NPM is a good way to find published WXT modules.
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Local**: add a file to your project's `modules/` directory:
|
||||
|
||||
```plaintext
|
||||
<rootDir>/
|
||||
modules/
|
||||
my-module.ts
|
||||
```

> To learn more about writing your own modules, read the [Writing Modules](/guide/essentials/wxt-modules) docs.

If you need custom build logic for your project, you can write your own local module. Here's what a basic WXT module looks like:

To add it to your project, place the file in the `modules/` directory at the root of your project. Any module file in this directory is **automatically discovered and loaded** — no additional configuration is needed:
|
||||
|
||||
```plaintext
|
||||
<rootDir>/
|
||||
modules/
|
||||
my-module.ts ← loaded automatically
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Each module's setup function is executed after the `wxt.config.ts` file is loaded. The `wxt` object provides everything you need to write a module:
|
||||
|
||||
- Use `wxt.hook(...)` to hook into the build's lifecycle and make changes
