Gii Extension for Yii 2

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::class,
        ],
        // ...
    ],
    // ...
];

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
