Extensions ¶

It is very easy to extend a Phundament-based application with existing composer packages. You can integrate any Yii2 extension or PHP library into Phundament 4.

For a quick start, let's install a package browser and a markdown renderer module.

composer require schmunk42/yii2-packaii:dev-master schmunk42/yii2-markdocs-module:@stable

Uncomment the config for the modules in config/main.php.

Finding packages ¶

Start with a search on Packagist or from your command line

composer search -N "yii2-auth"
composer search -N "yii2-excel"

Installing packages ¶

To install an extension simply require it in your composer.json with the following command

composer require vendor/package

Make sure to commit your composer.lock file, so your co-developers get the exact same version.

Configuring packages ¶

How to configure a package depends on the package and it's type. In general you can follow Yii's rules for application module and component configuration.

Show installed packages ¶

composer show --installed
