NOTE! THIS EXTENSION IS OUTDATED AND WILL NOT BE MAINTAINED, FUNCTIONALITY IS AVAILABLE IN YII2-CORE SINCE 2.0.0-RC
Running Yii2 Framework Gii Code Generators from command line
The preferred way to install this extension is through composer.
Either run
php composer.phar require --prefer-dist dmstr/yii2-gii-command "*"
Make sure the Gii module is available in your console configuration.
$config['bootstrap'][] = 'gii';
$config['modules']['gii'] = 'yii\gii\Module';
The extension will register a giic command alias in the application bootstrap process, if Gii is available.
Show available generators:
./yii help giic
Note: giic is NOT generating and overwriting code files unless you use the option --generate=1
./yii giic/controller --template=default --controller=my-first-giic-controller
./yii giic/model --template=default --tableName=foo --modelClass=Foo
./yii giiant-batch \
--tables=actor,address,category,city,country,customer,film,film_actor,film_category,film_text,inventory,language,payment,rental,staff,store \
--modelNamespace=app\\models \
--crudControllerNamespace=app\\controllers\\crud --crudViewPath=@app/views/crud
The above command will create models and CRUDs with relations for all given table names using the giiant generators.
./yii help giic/model
Will not show all available options, a workaround is to look at the generator attributes or run the command without any parameters and review the Attribute Errors.
$ ./yii giic/model
Loading generator 'model'...
