Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A, D

By default, third-party modules are located in vendor/ or app/code/ directories. The vendor/ directory contains modules that are installed using Composer, while the app/code/ directory contains modules that are manually copied or cloned from a repository.

Third-party modules in Magento 2 are typically located in two directories by default: the vendor/ directory and the app/code/ directory. The vendor/ directory is used for modules that are installed via Composer, Magento's dependency manager, which includes both Magento's core modules and third-party modules. The app/code/ directory is used for custom modules developed specifically for the project or for third-party modules that are manually installed without Composer. These conventions provide a structured approach to managing Magento modules, whether they are part of Magento's core functionality, contributed by the community, or developed for specific projects.

I’m pretty certain about app/code/, but I’m torn between vendor/ and app/packages/.

I feel like it could be vendor/ and app/code/, but I can't recall if app/packages/ is also a valid option.

I remember practicing a question like this, and I think it was app/modules/ and vendor/.

I think the third-party modules are usually in the app/code/ directory, but I'm not sure about the second one.

Vendor/ is definitely one, but I'm a bit stuck on the other. Could it be app/code/? I feel like that's where a lot of the application code is stored, but I'm not certain. I'll have to review my notes on module locations.

I remember learning about this in class. The two default directories for third-party modules are vendor/ and app/packages/. I'm pretty confident those are the right answers.

Okay, let's see. The vendor/ directory is definitely one of the default locations. For the other, I'm thinking it might be app/modules/ since that's where custom modules are often stored. But I'm not 100% sure about that.

Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. I know third-party modules are usually installed in a vendor/ directory, but I can't remember the other default location. I'll have to think this through carefully.
