Intro ----- [](#intro) Yii 2 Basic Project Template is a skeleton [Yii 2](http://www.yiiframework.com/) application best for rapidly creating small projects. 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. DIRECTORY STRUCTURE ------------------- [](#directory-structure) ``` assets/ contains assets definition commands/ contains console commands (controllers) config/ contains application configurations controllers/ contains Web controller classes mail/ contains view files for e-mails models/ contains model classes runtime/ contains files generated during runtime vendor/ contains dependent 3rd-party packages views/ contains view files for the Web application web/ contains the entry script and Web resources ``` REQUIREMENTS ------------ [](#requirements) The minimum requirement by this project template that your Web server supports PHP 5.6.0. 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: ``` composer create-project -s dev --prefer-dist sasha-x/yii2-app-lite lite ``` 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/basic/web/ ``` ### Install from an Archive File [](#install-from-an-archive-file) Extract the archive file downloaded from [yiiframework.com](http://www.yiiframework.com/download/) to a directory named `basic` that is directly under the Web root. Set cookie validation key in `config/web.php` file to some random secret string: ``` 'request' => [ // !!! insert a secret key in the following (if it is empty) - this is required by cookie validation 'cookieValidationKey' => '', ], ``` You can then access the application through the following URL: ``` http://localhost/basic/web/ ``` ### Install with Docker [](#install-with-docker) Update your vendor packages ``` docker-compose run --rm php composer update --prefer-dist ``` Run the installation triggers (creating cookie validation code) ``` docker-compose run --rm php composer install ``` Start the container ``` docker-compose up -d ``` You can then access the application through the following URL: ``` http://127.0.0.1:8000 ``` **NOTES:** - Minimum required Docker engine version `17.04` for development (see [Performance tuning for volume mounts](https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-mac/osxfs-caching/)) - The default configuration uses a host-volume in your home directory `.docker-composer` for composer caches CONFIGURATION ------------- [](#configuration) ### Database [](#database) Edit the file `config/db.php` and `config/db-local.php` with real data, for example: ``` return [ 'class' => 'yii\db\Connection', 'dsn' => 'mysql:host=localhost;dbname=yii2basic', '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. ### Health Score 30 — LowBetter than 64% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity6 Limited adoption so far Community19 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity68 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor2 2 contributors hold 50%+ of commits How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
