README

This package integrates the Jaxon library into the Yii framework. It requires the version 2.0.11 or newer.

Installation

Add the following lines in the composer.json file, and run the composer update command.

"require": {
    "jaxon-php/jaxon-yii": "^4.0"
}

Or run the composer require jaxon-php/jaxon-yii command.

This package provides a filter that must be attached to routes to pages where the Jaxon features are enabled.

This is an example of a Yii controller using the Jaxon library.

namespace app\controllers;

use Yii;
use yii\web\Controller;
use Jaxon\Yii\Filter\JaxonConfigFilter;

class DemoController extends Controller
{
    public function behaviors()
    {
        return [
            [
                'class' => JaxonConfigFilter::class,
                'only' => ['index', 'jaxon'],
            ],
        ];
    }

    /**
     * Process Jaxon ajax requests. This route must be the same that is set in the Jaxon config.
     */
    public function actionJaxon()
    {
        $jaxon = jaxon()->app();
        if(!$jaxon->canProcessRequest())
        {
            // Jaxon failed to find a plugin to process the request
            return; // Todo: return an error message
        }

        $jaxon->processRequest();
        return $jaxon->httpResponse();
    }

    /**
     * Insert Jaxon js and css codes in the page.
     */
    public function actionIndex()
    {
        // Set the layout
        $this->layout = 'demo';
        // Get the Jaxon module
        $jaxon = jaxon()->app();

        return $this->render('index', [
            'jaxonCss' => $jaxon->css(),
            'jaxonJs' => $jaxon->js(),
            'jaxonScript' => $jaxon->script()
        ]);
    }
}

Before it prints the page, the controller calls the $jaxon->css(), $jaxon->js() and $jaxon->script() functions, to get the CSS and javascript codes generated by Jaxon which are inserted into the page.

Configuration

The Jaxon library settings are defined in the @app/config/jaxon.php file, and separated into two sections. The options in the lib section are those of the Jaxon core library, while the options in the app sections are those of the Jaxon application.

The following options can be defined in the app section of the config file.

Name	Description
directories	An array of directory containing Jaxon application classes
views	An array of directory containing Jaxon application views

By default, the views array is empty. Views are rendered from the framework default location. There's a single entry in the directories array with the following values.

Name	Default value	Description
directory	@app/jaxon/classes	The directory of the Jaxon classes
namespace	\Jaxon\App	The namespace of the Jaxon classes
separator	.	The separator in Jaxon class names
protected	empty array	Prevent Jaxon from exporting some methods

Usage

The Jaxon classes

The Jaxon classes can inherit from \Jaxon\App\CallableClass. By default, they are located in the @app/jaxon/ajax dir of the Yii application, and the associated namespace is \Jaxon\Ajax.

This is an example of a Jaxon class, defined in the @app/jaxon/ajax/HelloWorld.php file.

namespace Jaxon\Ajax;

class HelloWorld extends \Jaxon\App\CallableClass
{
    public function sayHello()
    {
        $this->response->assign('div2', 'innerHTML', 'Hello World!');
        return $this->response;
    }
}
