How to make a footprint for a TP4056 module in Altium Designer

When designing prototype PCBs with Altium (https://www.altium.com/yt/taste_the_code) it is often easier if a certain circuit can be directly used as a module, instead of recreating the entire circuit from scratch.

For an upcoming video, I want to make a general purpose project PCB that will be battery powered so I need a way how to safely charge and use a lithium battery and the TP4056 module is perfect for that.

In order for the module to be neatly placed on the project PCB, I had to create the schematic symbol, as well as the PCB footprint for it and in this video, I'm guiding you through the process of doing that.

After watching the video, you will know how you can create such schematic symbols for any module or part and you will also know the basics of how to create custom footprints for any module or component inside Altium Designer.
