Yii 2 Ninja Application Template is a skeleton Yii 2 application best for developing complex Web applications with multiple tiers.

The template includes three tiers: frontend, backend and console, each of which is a separate Yii application.

The template is designed to work in a team development environment. It supports deploying the application in different environments.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

The preferred way to install this extension is through [composer](http://getcomposer.org/download/).

You can then install the application using the following command

```
$ composer global require fxp/composer-asset-plugin
$ composer create-project --stability=dev creocoder/yii2-app-ninja
```

Getting started
---------------

[](#getting-started)

After you install the application, you have to conduct the following steps to initialize the installed application. You only need to do these once for all.

1. Create a new database and adjust the `.env` configuration file accordingly.
2. Apply migrations with console command `yii migrate`. This will create tables needed for the application to work.
3. Set document roots of your Web server:

- for frontend `/path/to/yii2-app-ninja/frontend/web/`
- for backend `/path/to/yii2-app-ninja/backend/web/`

To login into the application, you need to first sign up, with any of your email address, username and password. Then, you can login into the application with same email address and password at any time.
