This extension provides a Web-based code generator, called Gii, for Yii framework 2.0 applications.
You can use Gii to quickly generate models, forms, modules, CRUD, etc.
For license information check the LICENSE-file.
Documentation is at docs/guide/README.md.
Installation
The preferred way to install this extension is through composer.
Either run
php composer.phar require --dev --prefer-dist yiisoft/yii2-gii
or add
"yiisoft/yii2-gii": "~2.1.0"
to the require-dev section of your composer.json file.
Usage
Once the extension is installed, simply modify your application configuration as follows:
return [
'bootstrap' => ['gii'],
'modules' => [
'gii' => [
'class' => 'yii\gii\Module',
],
// ...
],
// ...
];
You can then access Gii through the following URL:
http://localhost/path/to/index.php?r=gii
or if you have enabled pretty URLs, you may use the following URL:
http://localhost/path/to/index.php/gii
Using the same configuration for your console application, you will also be able to access Gii via
command line as follows,
# change path to your application's base path
cd path/to/AppBasePath
# show help information about Gii
yii help gii
# show help information about the model generator in Gii
yii help gii/model
# generate City model from city table
yii gii/model --tableName=city --modelClass=City
