Yii 2 Asset Free Template
=========================

[](#yii-2-asset-free-template)

This is a project template suitable for API & console apps. This app template is without the bower & npm package, which makes it lightweight.

[](#installation)

### Install via Composer

[](#install-via-composer)

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

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

```
composer create-project --prefer-dist imanilchaudhari/yii2-asset-free basic-api

```

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

```
http://localhost/basic-api/public/

```

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

[](#configuration)

### Database

[](#database)

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

```
return [
    'class' => 'yii\db\Connection',
    'dsn' => 'mysql:host=localhost;dbname=database',
    '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.
