Advanced Gii model generator for Yii2

Generates 2 models classes instead of just one. This is useful if you are frequently re-generating your models from a schema and want to separate model definitions from custom functionality.

For example: table post

• \common\models\base\Post - contains table meta (relations, property definitions, tableName, rules, attributeLabels)
• \common\models\Post - is left almost empty for custom functionality

Installation

The easiest way to obtain the code is using Composer: just modify your composer.json to add a custom repository (linking to this project) and require the libary.

{
    "require": {
        "opus-online/yii2-giimodel": "1.1.*"
    }
}

Configuring

To add the Gii generator to your project, just add the class \opus\giimodel\Generator as a new generator to your gii module configuration:

'modules' => [
    'gii' => [
        'class' => 'yii\gii\Module',
        'allowedIPs' => ['*'],
        'generators' => [
            'giimodel' => [
                'class' => '\opus\giimodel\Generator',
                'prefixMap' => [
                    'tbl_user_' => 'user',
                    'tbl_' => '',
                    'ext_' => 'sub/dir',
                ]
            ]
        ]
    ]
]
