Split Controller into ControllerBase and Controller like Models

[schmunk42]

• useful for regenerating CRUDs AND extending Controllers if needed
• move controller code into somthing like mikehaertl/xcrudcontroller (Yii1)

Or generate traits, or generate action classes...

[schmunk42]

You're right :)

But where to place the traits or actions?

• vendor/...
• generate trait or action and place it into application
• something else?

[motin]

From the top of my head: What about using providers for actions/traits as well?

[schmunk42]

Yeah, should be no problem, just modify the templates.

Hi worked on this today and end up with a working solution using traits.
However, it's quite a big change compared to the current way giiant is working.

If you are interested, i will try to create a GIT repository so you can see the result.

NB: I also corrected a few things that were not working if no Search Model was chosen to be generated. I basically looked into original yii2-gii default templates and adjust the one of giiant.

I think I did it 😄
