Ping CRM on Yii 2

A Yii 2 demo application to illustrate how Inertia.js works.

With Inertia you are able to build single-page apps using classic server-side routing and controllers, without building an API.

This application is a port of the original Ping CRM written in Laravel and based on the Yii 2 Basic Project Template.

Extending this project

The following steps are required when extending this project with new features.

In the backend

  • add new controller, that extends from inertia controller
  • add one ore more actions
  • return from the actions with a call to the inertia render method
<?php

namespace app\controllers;

use tebe\inertia\web\Controller;

class CustomController extends Controller
{
    public function actionIndex()
    {
        $params = [
            'data' => [],
        ];
        return $this->inertia('demo/index', $params);
    }
}

In the frontend

  • add a new page under resources/js/Pages for each controller action you added in the backend
  • copy&paste one of the existing page examples
  • implement and/or extend Vue.js stuff as needed
  • use frontend tooling as described here and in package.json
