About the Extension

CWS Development Tools is a free Shopware 6 plugin for developers and agencies working with local or development environments.

The plugin provides useful maintenance actions directly in the Shopware administration and storefront. It helps speed up common development tasks such as clearing the cache, compiling assigned themes, resetting OPcache and loading missing local media files from a configurable fallback host.

This plugin is designed for development and testing environments. Maintenance actions are only available when the shop runs with APP_ENV=dev.

Main use cases:

- Local Shopware 6 development

- Agency development environments

- Faster cache and theme handling during implementation

- Media fallback for projects where not all media files are available locally

- Quick developer actions from the storefront toolbar

CWS Development Tools does not require any external service and is intended to make everyday Shopware development easier and faster.

Added a shop information panel (environment, HTTP cache status, cache adapter) above maintenance actions.
Changed the maintenance action layout from 3 columns to 3 stacked rows for better readability.
Added shortcut labels next to each maintenance action button in code style.
