Code Generation using Command Line Tools (deprecated)
=========================================
> Note: The code generators in `yiic shell` have been deprecated since version 1.1.2. Please use the more powerful and extensible Web-based code generators available in [Gii](/doc/guide/topics.gii), instead.
Open a command line window, and execute the commands listed as follows,
~~~
% cd WebRoot/testdrive
% protected/yiic shell
Yii Interactive Tool v1.1
Please type 'help' for help. Type 'exit' to quit.
>> model User tbl_user
generate models/User.php
generate fixtures/tbl_user.php
generate unit/UserTest.php
The following model classes are successfully generated:
User
If you have a 'db' database connection, you can test these models now with:
$model=User::model()->find();
print_r($model);
>> crud User
generate UserController.php
generate UserTest.php
mkdir D:/testdrive/protected/views/user
generate create.php
generate update.php
generate index.php
generate view.php
generate admin.php
generate _form.php
generate _view.php
Crud 'user' has been successfully created. You may access it via:
http://hostname/path/to/index.php?r=user
~~~
In the above, we use the `yiic shell` command to interact with our
skeleton application. At the prompt, we execute two sub-commands: `model User tbl_user`
and `crud User`. The former generates a model class named `User` for the `tbl_user` table,
while the latter analyzes the `User` model and generates the code implementing
the corresponding CRUD operations.
> Note: You may encounter errors like "...could not find driver", even
> though the requirement checker shows you have already enabled PDO
> and the corresponding PDO driver. If this happens, you may try
> to run the `yiic` tool as follows,
>
> ~~~
> % php -c path/to/php.ini protected/yiic.php shell
> ~~~
>
> where `path/to/php.ini` represents the correct PHP ini file.
Let's enjoy our work by browsing the following URL:
~~~
http://hostname/testdrive/index.php?r=user
~~~
This will display a list of user entries in the `tbl_user` table.
Click the `Create User` button on the page. We will be brought to the login
page if we have not logged in before. After logged in, we see
an input form that allows us to add a new user entry. Complete the form and
click on the `Create` button. If there is any input error, a nice error
prompt will show up which prevents us from saving the input. Back to the
user list page, we should see the newly added user appearing in the list.
Repeat the above steps to add more users. Notice that user list page
will automatically paginate the user entries if there are too many to be
displayed in one page.
If we login as an administrator using `admin/admin`, we can view the user
admin page with the following URL:
~~~
http://hostname/testdrive/index.php?r=user/admin
~~~
This will show us the user entries in a nice tabular format. We can click on the table
header cells to sort the corresponding columns. We can click on the buttons
on each row of data to view, update or delete the corresponding row of data.
We can browse different pages. We can also filter and search to look for
the data we are interested in.
All these nice features come without requiring us to write a single line
of code!
