Yii 2 Another Project Template

Yii 2 Another Project Template is a skeleton Yii 2 application best for developing complex Web applications with multiple tiers.

The template includes three tiers: front, back, and console, each of which is a separate Yii application.

The template is designed to work in a team development environment. It supports deploying the application in different environments.

What's inside:

• Improved project structure (see Directory structure);
• Language management through URLs with help of codemix/yii2-localeurls;
• Flexible user registration and authentication module (dektrium/yii2-user);
• RBAC management module (dektrium/yii2-rbac);
• yii init console command which simplifies project preparation;
• PHP dotenv support, for easier project configuration, with Laravel like environment variable getter: env('YII_ENV', 'dev');

Note: tests are currently not included.

Requirements

The minimum requirement by this project template is that your Web server supports PHP 5.4.0. Recommended is PHP 7.

Installation

Install using composer
