The successor of Yii Framework 1.1, Yii 2 is a complete rewrite of Yii Framework, one of the most popular PHP 5 frameworks around for making modern web applications. The update embraces the best practices and protocols established with newer versions of PHP, while still maintaining the simple, fast, and extendable behavior found in its predecessor.

Starting with configuration and how to initialize new projects, you’ll learn how to configure, manage, and use every aspect of Yii2 from Gii, DAO, Query Builder, Active Record, and migrations, to asset manager. You'll also discover how to automatically test your code using codeception.

Widget translations


In a similar vein, widgets can also have their own message translation files by following the same process outlined for modules. Using our GreetingWidget class we created in Chapter 5, Modules, Widgets, and Helpers would look as follows:

<?php
namespace app\components;

use yii\base\Widget;
use yii\helpers\Html;

use Yii;
class GreetingWidget extends Widget
{
    public $name = null;
    
    public $greeting;
    
    public function init()
    {
        parent::init();
        
        Yii::$app->i18n->translations['widgets/GreetingWidget*'] = [
            'class' => 'yii\i18n\PhpMessageSource',
            'sourceLanguage' => 'en-US',
            'basePath' => '@app/components/widgets/GreetingWidget'
        ];
        
        $hour = date('G');
        
        if ( $hour >= 5 && $hour <= 11 )
           $this->greeting = GreetingWidget::t("Good Morning");
        else if ( $hour >= 12 && $hour <= 18 )
           ...
