Running Yii2 Framework Gii Code Generators from command line

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

[](#installation)

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

Either run

```
php composer.phar require --prefer-dist dmstr/yii2-gii-command "*"

```

Setup
-----

[](#setup)

**Make sure the Gii module is available in your console configuration.**

```
$config['bootstrap'][] = 'gii';
$config['modules']['gii'] = 'yii\gii\Module';

```

The extension will register a `giic` command alias in the application bootstrap process, if Gii is available.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Show available generators:

```
./yii help giic

```

**Note: giic is NOT generating and overwriting code files unless you use the option `--generate=1`**

### Create a controller

[](#create-a-controller)

```
./yii giic/controller --template=default --controller=my-first-giic-controller

```

### Create a model

[](#create-a-model)

```
./yii giic/model --template=default --tableName=foo --modelClass=Foo

```

### Run a giiant batch

[](#run-a-giiant-batch)

```
./yii giiant-batch \
  --tables=actor,address,category,city,country,customer,film,film_actor,film_category,film_text,inventory,language,payment,rental,staff,store \
  --modelNamespace=app\\models \
  --crudControllerNamespace=app\\controllers\\crud --crudViewPath=@app/views/crud

```

The above command will create models and CRUDs with relations for all given table names using the [giiant](https://github.com/schmunk42/yii2-giiant) generators.

Known Limitations
-----------------

[](#known-limitations)

### Compatibility with Help command

[](#compatibility-with-help-command)

```
./yii help giic/model

```

Will not show all available options, a workaround is to look at the generator attributes or run the command without any parameters and review the *Attribute Errors*.

```
$ ./yii giic/model
Loading generator 'model'...

Attribute Errors
----------------
template: A code template must be selected.
tableName: Table Name cannot be blank.
modelClass: Model Class cannot be blank if table name does not end with asterisk.

```
