Class yii\gii\Module

All Classes | Properties | Methods

Inheritance	yii\gii\Module » yii\base\Module
Implements	yii\base\BootstrapInterface
Available since extension's version	2.0
Source Code	https://github.com/yiisoft/yii2-gii/blob/master/src/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 \yii\web\UrlManager::enablePrettyUrl, you can then access Gii via URL: http://localhost/path/to/index.php/gii

Property Details

Hide inherited properties

$allowedIPs public property

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.

public array $allowedIPs = [
'127.0.0.1',
'::1',
]

$controllerNamespace public property

public $controllerNamespace = 'yii\gii\controllers'

$generators public property

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.

public array|yii\gii\Generator[] $generators = []

$newDirMode public property

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.

public integer $newDirMode = 0777

$newFileMode public property

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.

public integer $newFileMode = 0666
