Yii 2 Onion Project Template
============================

[](#yii-2-onion-project-template)

Yii 2 Onion Project Template is a skeleton [Yii 2](http://www.yiiframework.com/) application best for rapidly creating enterprise projects based on onion architecture.

The template contains the basic features including user login/logout and a contact page. It includes all commonly used configurations that would allow you to focus on adding new features to your application.

INSTALLATION
------------

[](#installation)

### Install via Composer

[](#install-via-composer)

If you do not have [Composer](http://getcomposer.org/), you may install it by following the instructions at [getcomposer.org](http://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md#installation-nix).

You can then install this project template using the following command:

```
php composer.phar global require "fxp/composer-asset-plugin:~1.1.0"
php composer.phar create-project --prefer-dist --stability=dev cherif/yii2-onion-app onion

```

Now you should be able to access the application through the following URL, assuming `basic` is the directory directly under the Web root.

```
http://localhost/onion/web/

```

CONFIGURATION
-------------

[](#configuration)

### Database

[](#database)

Edit the file `app/config/db.php` with real data, for example:

```
return [
    'class' => 'yii\db\Connection',
    'dsn' => 'mysql:host=localhost;dbname=yii2onion',
    'username' => 'root',
    'password' => '1234',
    'charset' => 'utf8',
];
```

**NOTES:**

- Yii won't create the database for you, this has to be done manually before you can access it.
- Check and edit the other files in the `config/` directory to customize your application as required.
- Refer to the README in the `tests` directory for information specific to basic application tests.
