Yii Framework

Scaffold

Declarative multi-layer file scaffolding for PHP projects
via Composer providers and a Console CLI

Features

Installation

composer require yii2-extensions/scaffold
composer config allow-plugins.yii2-extensions/scaffold true

Declare the providers that are permitted to write files into your project:

{
    "extra": {
        "scaffold": {
            "allowed-packages": [
                "yii2-extensions/app-base"
            ]
        }
    }
}

Run composer install to trigger the scaffold process. Commit scaffold-lock.json to version control.

Configuration

Minimal composer.json for a project using one scaffold provider:

{
    "require": {
        "yii2-extensions/scaffold": "^0.1",
        "yii2-extensions/app-base": "^0.1"
    },
    "config": {
        "allow-plugins": {
            "yii2-extensions/scaffold": true
        }
    },
    "extra": {
        "scaffold": {
            "allowed-packages": [
                "yii2-extensions/app-base"
            ]
        }
    }
}

Console commands

After composer install, the plugin ships a standalone Symfony Console CLI at vendor/bin/scaffold that works in any PHP project (Yii2, Yii3, Laravel, Symfony, plain PHP).

Command	What it does
`vendor/bin/scaffold status`	Prints a table comparing every tracked file's on-disk hash to the one recorded in `scaffold-lock.json` (`synced` / `modified` / `missing`).
`vendor/bin/scaffold providers`	Lists every provider recorded in `scaffold-lock.json` and how many files each one contributed.
`vendor/bin/scaffold diff <file>`	Shows a line-by-line diff between the provider stub and the current on-disk file.
`vendor/bin/scaffold reapply [file] [--force] [--provider=<name>]`	Re-copies stubs from `vendor/` to the project, updating lock hashes on success. Without `--force`, user-modified files are reported and skipped.
`vendor/bin/scaffold eject <file> [--yes]`	Removes a file entry from `scaffold-lock.json` without deleting the file from disk. Without `--yes` only previews the change.

Typical post-install workflow:

vendor/bin/scaffold status                                      # what changed
vendor/bin/scaffold diff config/params.php                      # review one file
vendor/bin/scaffold reapply config/params.php --force           # accept stub version

# or
vendor/bin/scaffold eject config/params.php --yes               # keep yours, stop tracking
