FAQ

After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:
If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
Some PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

  • Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
  • To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
  • Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
  • If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
  • Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.
Please rate this library. Is it a good library?

Informations about the package yii2-requirejs-view

Yii2 RequireJS-powered View

Yii2 View class with ability to register RequireJS modules

Installation

The preferred way to install this extension is through composer.

Either run

or add

to the require section of your composer.json file.

Usage

Changing the View class site-wide

You can use View class site-wide by editing your config/main.php:

The only option that you MUST provide is mainJsUrl, wihich is URL of a main.js which holds the config of RequireJS's modules. (Read more about main.js at RequireJS documentation)

mainJsUrl is passed to \yii\helpers\Url::to(), so it can be either string or an array that points to URL of main.js file. You can use aliases '@web/js/requirejs/main.js'

After that all your view files will be instances of h8every1\requirejsview\View not yii\web\View.

Changing the View class in single controller

Add call to the View constructor inside init function of your controller like this:

Changing the View class for a single action of a Controller

.. is same as changing the view for the whole controller, except that you add the line inside your action like this:

Generating main.js using AssetBundles

This extension provides an MainJsAction class that can be used to generate main.js file that automatically require()s all modules registered for a webpage.

You can use existing controller or create a new one. Then you must register action like this:

And then in your View class setup provide $mainJsUrl = ['<contollerName>/<actionName>']. For the example above the setup will look like this;

You need to provide array of RequireJsAssetBundles as modules. Some of such modules are already provided in assets folder of the extension.

Adding and removing RequireJS modules in view files

Inside your view file you can call either $this->addModule($moduleName) or $this->addModules($arrayOfModuleNames)

The former accepts string with a single module name, the latter accepts array of strings. Each one should be a registered RequireJS module.

If you register View class site-wide, you can even register modules in layouts and partials rendered via $this->render()

You can remove registered modules via $this->removeModule($moduleName) or $this->removeModules($arrayOfModuleNames)

This can be useful if you want to replace module loaded in your main view file with another module inside of sub-view file.

Example:

views/site/index.php

views/site/partial.php

Known issues

You cannot remove modules registered in layout file, because Yii applies layout on the last step of content rendering, after all dynamic content has been generated and all RequireJS modules registered and removed.
