Yii web setup base for your project including vagrant box and xhprof debug panel

Yii Web Setup

Introduction

This is my template on a clean web setup for a Yii project. This includes having the document root and its public files separated from the protected files and setting up Yii with composer for your project., _(*1)

Configuration

You also have the possibility to setup defaults configs for your project in, _(*2)

protected/config/main.php
protected/config/console.php
protected/config/test.php

And let your clients override some of the parameters in, _(*3)

protected/config/main.local.php
protected/config/console.local.php
protected/config/test.local.php

Feel free to post your opinion on this approach and let us create a re-usable template/setup for us Yii developers., _(*4)

Maybe there are also some more dependencies or modules you suggest having by default? Let me know., _(*5)

How to use this?

• Create your project from this template composer create-project firegate666/yii-web-setup
• Adjust package meta information in composer.json
• That's it, now you are ready to develop your project.
• use git as versioning tool

If your project has different need on dependencies, delete composer.lock, adjust composer.json to your needs and run composer again to install your dependencies., _(*6)

Development setup

This project is shipped with a vagrant box example setup that you can use to start developing., _(*7)

• On your development machine install Virtualbox and Vagrant.
• enter vagrant folder
• type vagrant up

It will setup everything you need to start developing. After vagrant is done, open, _(*8)

http://192.168.56.5/

and you will see the default yii installation. This box has xhprof pre-installed and bundled with Yii. If you want to take a look at this cool profiler, open, _(*9)

protected/config/main.local.php

and comment in the configuration. Now you will have a debug panel on each page with a link to the profiler result., _(*10)
