About
=====

[](#about)

YTK is a collection of functions and widgets for the php web framework Yii (version 1.11). The toolkit is designed to be used along with the bootstrap extension for Yii.

Install (manually)
==================

[](#install-manually)

Copy this project to the extensions folder of the yii projects under `protected\extensions\ytk`

Install using composer
======================

[](#install-using-composer)

ytk can be installed using composer from packagist as `"require": "aspott/ytk"`

Configure
=========

[](#configure)

To use the widgets from ytk, register ytk for autoloading in the file `protected\config\main.php` with the following code snippet (after manuall install)

```
// autoloading model and component classes
'import'=>array(
	'application.models.*',
	'application.components.*',
	'application.extensions.ytk.*',     // array(
    // [...] some components

    // renderer component for markdown pages simiar to the views/site/page rendering
    'viewRenderer' => array(
        'class'=>'YtkMdViewRenderer',
    ),
    // [...] some more components
),

```

To use the javascript components/assets in the package, add the ytk component to the main configuration file under `components`

```
'ytk'=>array(
    'class'=>'application.extensions.ytk.Ytk',
),

```

Also, here this is reducted to 'ytk.Ytk' when using the aliasing.

Additionally, the ytk component (with asset management must be initialized in protected/views/layout/main.php directly after `` (and if it is used right after the respective init call for the bootstrap components) with

```

```

Usage of components
===================

[](#usage-of-components)

The provided widgets (here `ytktile`) of the package can be used as follows:

```
$this->widget('application.extensions.ytk.YtkTile', array(
    'header'=>'Min Example',
    'labels'=>array('X'=>'primary'),
    'body'=>'Some content',
));

```

With aliasing, also the name of the widgets is reduced to `'ytk.YtkTile'`.

Functions from the namespace `Ytk` can be simply called by prefixing it with `Ytk::`

```
echo Ytk::EncodeSuccess('myLabel');

```

Prior to using java script extensions (such as chart.js), add the following line in each view file

```
Yii::app()->ytk->register('chartjs');

```
