Class yii\gii\Module
| Inheritance | yii\gii\Module » yii\base\Module » yii\di\ServiceLocator » yii\base\Component » yii\base\Object |
|---|---|
| Implements | yii\base\BootstrapInterface, yii\base\Configurable |
| Available since version | 2.0 |
| Source Code | https://github.com/yiisoft/yii2-gii/blob/master/Module.php |
This is the main module class for the Gii module.
To use Gii, include it as a module in the application configuration like the following:
return [
'bootstrap' => ['gii'],
'modules' => [
'gii' => ['class' => 'yii\gii\Module'],
],
]
Because Gii generates new code files on the server, you should only use it on your own development machine. To prevent other people from using this module, by default, Gii can only be accessed by localhost. You may configure its $allowedIPs property if you want to make it accessible on other machines.
With the above configuration, you will be able to access GiiModule in your browser using
the URL http://localhost/path/to/index.php?r=gii
If your application enables pretty URLs,
you can then access Gii via URL: http://localhost/path/to/index.php/gii

Property Details
The list of IPs that are allowed to access this module.
Each array element represents a single IP filter which can be either an IP address
or an address with wildcard (e.g. 192.168.0.*) to represent a network segment.
The default value is ['127.0.0.1', '::1'], which means the module can only be accessed
by localhost.
The namespace that controller classes are in. This namespace will be used to load controller classes by prepending it to the controller class name.
If not set, it will use the controllers sub-namespace under the namespace of this module.
For example, if the namespace of this module is foo\bar, then the default
controller namespace would be foo\bar\controllers.
See also the guide section on autoloading to learn more about defining namespaces and how classes are loaded.
A list of generator configurations or instances. The array keys are the generator IDs (e.g. "crud"), and the array elements are the corresponding generator configurations or the instances.
After the module is initialized, this property will become an array of generator instances which are created based on the configurations previously taken by this property.
Newly assigned generators will be merged with the core ones, and the former takes precedence in case when they have the same generator ID.
The permission to be set for newly generated directories. This value will be used by PHP chmod function. Defaults to 0777, meaning the directory can be read, written and executed by all users.
The permission to be set for newly generated code files. This value will be used by PHP chmod function. Defaults to 0666, meaning the file is read-writable by all users.
Method Details
This method is invoked right before an action within this module is executed.
The method will trigger the EVENT_BEFORE_ACTION event. The return value of the method will determine whether the action should continue to run.
In case the action should not run, the request should be handled inside of the beforeAction code
by either providing the necessary output or redirecting the request. Otherwise the response will be empty.
If you override this method, your code should look like the following:
public function beforeAction($action)
{
if (!parent::beforeAction($action)) {
return false;
}
// your custom code here
return true; // or false to not run the action
}
| public boolean beforeAction ( $action ) | ||
| $action | yii\base\Action | The action to be executed. |
| return | boolean | Whether the action should continue to be executed. |
|---|---|---|
Bootstrap method to be called during application bootstrap stage.
| public void bootstrap ( $app ) | ||
| $app | yii\base\Application | The application currently running |
| protected boolean checkAccess ( ) | ||
| return | boolean | Whether the module can be accessed by the current user |
|---|---|---|
Returns the list of the core code generator configurations.
| protected array coreGenerators ( ) | ||
| return | array | The list of the core code generator configurations. |
|---|---|---|
Resets potentially incompatible global settings done in app config.
| protected void resetGlobalSettings ( ) |
