In Yii2, modules are considered to be mini self-contained software packages containing the complete MVC stack. When paired with an application, modules provide a way to extend applications by adding new features and tools without adding code to our main code base. Consequently, modules are a great way to create and reuse code. When creating applications with Yii2, you'll most likely work with prebuilt models, such as Gii or the Yii2 dev module; however, modules can also be custom applications created specifically to build upon and separate code for a specific purpose. In this section, we'll go over the basic modules in Yii2 as well as cover how to create and implement them within our application.
