Yii 2 Basic Project Template is a skeleton Yii 2 application best for rapidly creating small projects.
The template contains the basic features including user login/logout and a contact page. It includes all commonly used configurations that would allow you to focus on adding new features to your application.
assets/ contains assets definition
commands/ contains console commands (controllers)
config/ contains application configurations
controllers/ contains Web controller classes
mail/ contains view files for e-mails
models/ contains model classes
runtime/ contains files generated during runtime
tests/ contains various tests for the basic application
vendor/ contains dependent 3rd-party packages
views/ contains view files for the Web application
web/ contains the entry script and Web resources
The minimum requirement by this project template that your Web server supports PHP 5.4.0.
Extract the archive file downloaded from yiiframework.com to
a directory named basic that is directly under the Web root.
Set cookie validation key in config/web.php file to some random secret string:
'request' => [
// !!! insert a secret key in the following (if it is empty) - this is required by cookie validation
'cookieValidationKey' => '<secret random string goes here>',
],You can then access the application through the following URL:
http://localhost/basic/web/
type in console :
git clone https://github.com/psicinski/contactBook/
Now you should be able to access the application through the following URL, assuming basic is the directory
directly under the Web root.
http://localhost/basic/web/
Edit the file config/db.php with real data, for example:
return [
'class' => 'yii\db\Connection',
'dsn' => 'mysql:host=localhost;dbname=yii2basic',
'username' => 'root',
'password' => '1234',
'charset' => 'utf8',
];the Database schema should have database contactbook and execute the following sql in phpadmin:
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `contact` (
`id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`firstname` varchar(150) NOT NULL,
`lastname` varchar(150) NOT NULL,
`phone` varchar(11) NOT NULL,
`mail` text NOT NULL,
`address` text NOT NULL,
`city` text NOT NULL,
`zip` text NOT NULL,
`isFriend` int(11) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 AUTO_INCREMENT=1 ;
NOTE: Yii won't create the database for you, this has to be done manually before you can access it.
Also check and edit the other files in the config/ directory to customize your application.
