Yii 3 development environment

This repo contains tools to set up a development environment for Yii 3 packages.

It allows to work on separate packages and test the result in other packages at the same time.

Requirements

• This is currently only tested on GNU/Linux and Windows with bash, if you have another system, please try and report if something is not working.
• PHP 7.2 or higher
• Composer installed and available as composer on the command line

Install

git clone https://github.com/yiisoft/yii-dev-tool
cd yii-dev-tool
./yii-dev install

The above command will install all Yii 3 packages and run composer install in them. You may select packages by providing a second argument:

./yii-dev install yiisoft/core
./yii-dev install yiisoft/db
...

Tip: You can speed up Composer significantly by installing prestissimo plugin globally.

Note: In case you are using PhpStorm you have to add yiisoft exclusion pattern in "Settings → Directories → Exclude Files". Else it would go into infinite indexing cycle.

Using your own fork

In order to use your own fork copy packages.php to packages.local.php and replace yiisoft with your github username.

Status

In order to show git status for all packages, run the following command:

./yii-dev status

You can specify which package status to display:

./yii-dev status yii-demo

Docker

Start a shell in a container

docker-compose run --rm php bash

Afterwards you can run the above commands like yii-dev install.
