yii1 Plus Yii2
==============

[](#yii1-plus-yii2)

We can achieve this in two steps

- Using base controller from Yii1
- Using base controller from Yii2

For every step, I have created two repository. We'll use it accordingly

### Steps to follow

[](#steps-to-follow)

> \*\*: Mandatory

> \*: Somehow mandatory

> (no star): optional

- Make your project composer compatible and use yii1 with composer dependency\*\*

    Add classmap in autoloader, and put all you resources folder in its value

    `composer dump-autoload`

    Resolve all warning for **Ambiguous class resolution**
- Install my both repo using composer\*\*

    ```
    composer require ahmadasjad/yii1plushyii2
    composer require ahmadasjad/yii2plusyii1

    ```
- Create two branch of *git* one with *yii1Controller* and another with *yii2Controller*
- Create a yii2 config directory inside site/protected/config/`yii2` \*
- Copy `index.php` and `Yii2Yii1.php` file from `ahmadasjad/yii2plusyii1` repo to your *site* directory or customize index.php according to your files structure and config \*
- Create a custom Controller and extend it from `\ahmadasjad\yii1PlusYii2\Controller` \*\*

    Now, in every controller extend from your customized controller. This will help you to change only inside your base custom controller in future when you use the controller from Yii2
- Replace View class\*

    Add this to your Yii2 config

    ```
    'components' => [
        'view' => ['class' => \ahmadasjad\yii1PlusYii2\View::class],
    ],
    ```
- Register Yii2 assets in yii1\*

    Add `Yii::$app->getView()->registerYii2Assets();` inside the layout or view file. This will create a bridge in publishing Yii2 assets in yii1.
- add `return` before `render('yourView', ['model' => $model])` call inside every controller.
- Make your controllers namespaced \*:
- Add following function inside the config while bootstrapping the app:

    ```
    function() {
        //Set modelName converter for Yii1 models class in html form
        CHtml::setModelNameConverter(function ($model){
            $className = get_class($model);
            $reflector = new ReflectionClass($className);
            return $reflector->getShortName();
        });
    }
    ```

    Now your config should look like:

    ```
    return [
        ...,
        'aliases' => [...],
        'bootstrap' => [
            ...,
            function() {
                //Set modelName converter for Yii1 models class in html form
                CHtml::setModelNameConverter(function ($model){
                    $className = get_class($model);
                    $reflector = new ReflectionClass($className);
                    return $reflector->getShortName();
                });
            },
            ...,
        ],
        'components' => [...],
        ...
    ];
    ```

### Tips

[](#tips)

- Remove unnecessary codes generated by GII crud like `index.php`, `_view.php` files from view and `actionIndex()` method from controller
