Bootstrap with Yii
|
|
|
|
|
==================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Yii provides a few ready-to-use application templates. Based on your needs, you may
|
|
|
|
|
choose one of them to bootstrap your project.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In following, we describe how to get started with the "Yii 2 Basic Application Template".
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Install via Composer
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you do not have [Composer](http://getcomposer.org/), you may download it from
|
|
|
|
|
[http://getcomposer.org/](http://getcomposer.org/) or run the following command on Linux/Unix/MacOS:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
|
curl -s http://getcomposer.org/installer | php
|
|
|
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can then install the Bootstrap Application using the following command:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
|
php composer.phar create-project --stability=dev yiisoft/yii2-app-basic yii-basic
|
|
|
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Now you should be able to access the Bootstrap Application using the URL `http://localhost/yii-basic/web/`,
|
|
|
|
|
assuming `yii-basic` is directly under the document root of your Web server.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As you can see, the application has four pages: the homepage, the about page,
|
|
|
|
|
the contact page and the login page. The contact page displays a contact
|
|
|
|
|
form that users can fill in to submit their inquiries to the webmaster,
|
|
|
|
|
and the login page allows users to be authenticated before accessing privileged contents.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
