API reference

Welcome to the Ubercart developer's documentation. Because Ubercart is a module for Drupal, the documentation for Drupal found at api.drupal.org has been included here for your convenience. Currently, only the Drupal 5 API is available.

Newcomers to Drupal development should read the conceptual information provided in the "Components of Drupal" section, and then proceed to examine one of the heavily-documented example modules below. The examples are fully-functioning Drupal modules, so you can download them from the contributions repository and alter them as you experiment.
