Yii 2 Basic Firestarter

This is a somewhat modified version of the basic template with some pregonfigured features. I've created this to save time upon creating a new project.

Please leave a star if you're considering to use this template in production.

Contains:

• dotenv configuration ( idea by @lostika86 )
• The dektrium/yii2-user and dektrium/yii2-rbac packages with basic config
• An api identifier solution (Authorization header => Bearer token)
• An api module
• Predefined controllerMap to the console config (added migration commands)

Check out the packages

• https://github.com/dektrium/yii2-user / User management
• https://github.com/dektrium/yii2-rbac / Powerful RBAC manager
• https://github.com/bizley/timeclock / The idea of the api key came from here. (and the code as well)
• https://github.com/symfony/dotenv / The dotenv we're using

Get started

$ git clone https://github.com/HunWalk/yii2-basic-firestarter <projectName>
$ cd <projectName>
$ composer install
$ composer run-script post-create-project-cmd

post-create-project-cmd script sets up the permissions for some folders and generates the cookieValidationKey for you
