Either run ``` composer require "sergeymakinen/yii2-facades:^1.0" ``` or add ``` "sergeymakinen/yii2-facades": "^1.0" ``` to the require section of your `composer.json` file. Usage ----- [](#usage) Basically you install the extension and start using it like you do with all normal Yii 2 application components but with a shorter simpler syntax, let's take a look (in case you wonder, all default facades, including an abstract base `Facade` reside under a `sergeymakinen\facades` namespace): ### Generate random string [](#generate-random-string) Before: ``` $random = Yii::$app->security->generateRandomString(128); ``` After: ``` $random = Security::generateRandomString(128); ``` ### Fetch all users (just an example!) [](#fetch-all-users-just-an-example) Before: ``` $users = Yii::$app->db->createCommand('SELECT * FROM users;')->queryAll(); ``` After: ``` $users = Db::createCommand('SELECT * FROM users;')->queryAll(); ``` ### Format currency [](#format-currency) Before: ``` $price = Yii::$app->formatter->asCurrency(123456.78, 'USD'); ``` After: ``` $price = Formatter::asCurrency(123456.78, 'USD'); ``` Access properties ----------------- [](#access-properties) Any class public property `$foo` can be got via an accessor: ``` $value = YourFacadeName::getFoo() ``` And set: ``` YourFacadeName::setFoo($value) ``` Available facades ----------------- [](#available-facades) NameFacaded component aliasComponent/interface`Asset``Yii::$app->assetManager``yii\web\AssetManager``Auth``Yii::$app->auth``yii\rbac\ManagerInterface``Cache``Yii::$app->cache``yii\caching\Cache``Db``Yii::$app->db``yii\db\Connection``Error``Yii::$app->errorHandler``yii\console\ErrorHandler``yii\web\ErrorHandler``Formatter``Yii::$app->formatter``yii\i18n\Formatter``Http``Yii::$app->httpClient``yii\httpclient\Client``I18n``Yii::$app->i18n``yii\i18n\I18N``Log``Yii::$app->log``yii\log\Dispatcher``Mailer``Yii::$app->mailer``yii\swiftmailer\Mailer``Redis``Yii::$app->redis``yii\redis\Connection``Request``Yii::$app->request``yii\console\Request``yii\web\Request``Response``Yii::$app->response``yii\console\Response``yii\web\Response``Router``Yii::$app->urlManager``yii\web\UrlManager``Security``Yii::$app->security``yii\base\Security``Session``Yii::$app->session``yii\web\Session``Url``Yii::$app->urlManager``yii\web\UrlManager``User``Yii::$app->user``yii\web\User``View``Yii::$app->view``yii\web\View`Helpers ------- [](#helpers) Some facades also contain useful helpers to make a development more quick and elegant. ### Cache [](#cache) #### cache [](#cache-1) ``` public static function cache($key, $default, $duration = 0, $dependency = null) ``` Retrieves a value using the provided key or the specified default value if the value is not cached. If the value is not in the cache, it will be cached. The default value can also be a closure: ``` $users = Cache::cache('users', function () { return app\models\Users::findAll(); }, 3600); ``` #### get [](#get) ``` public static function get($key, $default = false) ``` Retrieves a value using the provided key and returns it or the specified default value which can also be a closure: ``` $options = Cache::get('options', function () { return [ 'option1' => false, 'option2' => true ]; }); ``` ### Response [](#response) #### bare [](#bare) ``` public static function bare($statusCode = 204, array $headers = []) ``` Returns an empty response with optional headers: ``` public function actionCreate() { // ... return Response::bare(201); } ``` #### html [](#html) ``` public static function html($data, array $headers = []) ``` Returns a HTML response with optional headers: ``` public function actionIndex() { // ... return Response::html($this->render('index'), [ 'Cache-Control' => 'no-cache' ]); } ``` #### json [](#json) ``` public static function json($data, array $headers = []) ``` Returns a JSON response with optional headers: ``` public function actionList() { // ... return Response::json(Db::createCommand('SELECT * FROM users')->all()); } ``` #### jsonp [](#jsonp) ``` public static function jsonp($data, $callback = 'callback', array $headers = []) ``` Returns a JSONP response with optional headers: ``` public function actionApi($callback) { // ... return Response::jsonp([ 'success' => true, 'response' => $data ], $callback); } ``` #### raw [](#raw) ``` public static function raw($data, array $headers = []) ``` Returns a response with data "as is" with optional headers: ``` public function actionCreate() { // ... return Response::raw($binary, [ 'Content-Type' => 'application/octet-stream' ]); } ``` #### xml [](#xml) ``` public static function xml($data, array $headers = []) ``` Returns a XML response with optional headers: ``` public function actionCreate() { // ... return Response::xml([ 'success' => true, 'response' => $data ]); } ``` Extending --------- [](#extending) If you want a new facade, it's fast and easy, imagine you want to bring a `YourFacadeName` facade: ``` class YourFacadeName extends Facade { /** * @inheritdoc */ public static function getFacadeComponentId() { return 'yourFacadeComponentName'; // Yii::$app->yourFacadeComponentName } } ``` Then whenever you call ``` YourFacadeName::hello('world'); ``` it will be executed as ``` Yii::$app->get('yourFacadeComponentName')->hello('world'); ``` ### Health Score 35 — LowBetter than 77% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity25 Limited adoption so far Community9 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity70 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio. Uses a 2-year decay window. **Popularity (30%)** — Total and monthly downloads, GitHub stars, and forks. Logarithmic scaling prevents top-heavy scores. **Community (15%)** — Contributors, dependents, forks, watchers, and maintainers. Measures real ecosystem engagement. **Maturity (30%)** — Project age, version count, PHP version support, and release stability. ### Release Activity Cadence Every ~26 days Recently: every ~63 days Total 13 Last Release 3305d ago ### Community Maintainers ![](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/983964?v=4)[Sergey Makinen](/maintainers/sergeymakinen)[@sergeymakinen](https://github.com/sergeymakinen) --- Top Contributors [![sergeymakinen](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/983964?v=4)](https://github.com/sergeymakinen "sergeymakinen (52 commits)") --- Tags closurefacadefacadeslaravelphpphp-libraryyiiyii2yii2-extensionlaravelfacadeyii2yiifacadesyii2-facades ### Embed Badge ![Health badge](/badges/sergeymakinen-yii2-facades/health.svg) ``` [![Health](https://phpackages.com/badges/sergeymakinen-yii2-facades/health.svg)](https://phpackages.com/packages/sergeymakinen-yii2-facades) ``` PHPackages © 2026 [Directory](/)[Categories](/categories)[Trending](/trending)[Changelog](/changelog)[Analyze](/analyze)
