Chapter 2. Routing, Controllers, and Views

In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

  • Configuring URL rules
  • Generating URLs
  • Using regular expressions in URL rules
  • Using a base controller
  • Using standalone actions
  • Creating a custom filter
  • Displaying static pages
  • Using flash messages
  • Using the controller context in a view
  • Reusing views with partials
  • Using blocks
  • Using decorators
  • Defining multiple layouts
  • Pagination and sorting data

Introduction

This chapter will help you to learn some handy things about the Yii URL router, controllers, and views. You will be able to make your controllers and views more flexible.

Configuring URL rules

In this recipe, we will learn how to configure URL rules. Before we begin lets set up an application.

Getting ready

  1. Create a new application using the Composer package manager, as described in the official guide at http://www.yiiframework.com/doc-2.0/guide-start-installation.html.
  2. Create the @app/controllers/TestController.php controller with the following code inside:
    <?php

namespace app\controllers;

use yii\helpers\Html;
use yii\web\Controller;

class TestController extends Controller
{
    public function actionIndex()
    {
        return $this->renderContent(Html::tag('h2',
            'Index action'
        ));
    }

    public function actionPage($alias)
    {
        return $this->renderContent(Html::tag('h2',
            'Page is '. Html::encode($alias)
        ));
    }
}

    This is the application controller that we are going to customize URLs for.

  3. Configure your application server to use clean URLs. If you are...

Generating URLs

Yii allows you to not only route your URLs to different controller actions, but also to generate a URL by specifying a proper internal route and its parameters. This is really useful because you can focus on internal routes while developing your application, and only worry about real URLs before going live. Never specify URLs directly and make sure that you use the Yii URL toolset. It will allow you to change URLs without rewriting a lot of application code.

Getting ready

  1. Create a new application using the Composer package manager, as described in the official guide at http://www.yiiframework.com/doc-2.0/guide-start-installation.html.
  2. Find your @app/config/web.php file and replace the rules array as follows:
    'urlManager' => array(
    'enablePrettyUrl' => true,
    'showScriptName' => false,
),
  3. Configure your application server to use clean URLs. If you are using Apache with mod_rewrite and AllowOverride turned on, then you should add the...

Using regular expressions in URL rules

One of the hidden features of the Yii URL router is that you can use regular expressions that are pretty powerful for handling strings.

Getting ready

  1. Create a new application using the Composer package manager, as described in the official guide at http://www.yiiframework.com/doc-2.0/guide-start-installation.html.
  2. In your @app/controllers directory, create PostController.php using the following:
    <?php

namespace app\controllers;

use yii\helpers\Html;
use yii\web\Controller;

class PostController extends Controller
{
    public function actionView($alias)
    {
        return $this->renderContent(Html::tag('h2',
            'Showing post with alias ' . Html::encode($alias)
        ));
    }

    public function actionIndex($type = 'posts', $order = 'DESC')
   {
        return $this->renderContent(Html::tag('h2',
           'Showing ' . Html::encode($type) . ' ordered ' . Html...

Using a base controller

In many frameworks, the concept of a base controller that is being extended by other ones is described right in the guide. In Yii, it is not in the guide, as you can achieve flexibility in many other ways. Still, using a base controller is possible and can be useful.

Let's say we want to add some controllers that will be accessible only when the user is logged in. We can certainly set this constraint for each controller separately, but we will do it in a better way.

Getting ready

Create a new application using the Composer package manager, as described in the official guide at http://www.yiiframework.com/doc-2.0/guide-startinstallation.html.

How to do it…

  1. First, we will need a base controller that our user-only controllers will use. Let's create @app/components/BaseController.php with the following code:
    <?php

namespace app\components;

use Yii;
use yii\web\Controller;
use yii\filters\AccessControl;

class BaseController extends Controller
{
    public...

Using standalone actions

In Yii, you can define controller actions as separate classes and then connect them to your controllers. This will help you to reuse some common functionality.

For example, you can move the backend for autocomplete fields to an action and save some time by not having to write it over and over again.

Another example is that we can create all CRUD operations as separate standalone actions. We will write, create, view, and delete operations of the model and view the list operation of models.

Getting ready

  1. Create a new application using the Composer package manager, as described in the official guide at http://www.yiiframework.com/doc-2.0/guide-start-installation.html.
  2. Let's create post table. Create migration for this using the following command:
    ./yii migrate/create create_post_table
  3. Update the just-created migration's methods and list of imported classes as follows:
    <?php

use yii\db\Schema;
use yii\db\Migration;

class m150719_152435_create_post_table extends...

            'Index action'
        ));
    }

    public function actionPage($alias)
    {
        return $this->renderContent(Html::tag('h2',
            'Page is '. Html::encode($alias)
        ));

        ));
    }

    public function actionIndex($type = 'posts', $order = 'DESC')
   {
        return $this->renderContent(Html::tag('h2',
           'Showing ' . Html::encode($type) . ' ordered ' . Html::encode($order)
        ));
    }

    <?php

namespace app\components;

    <?php

use yii\db\Schema;
use yii\db\Migration;

class m150719_152435_create_post_table extends Migration...

Creating a custom filter

Filters are objects that run before and/or after controller actions. For example, an access control filter may run before actions to ensure that they are allowed to be accessed by particular end users; a content compression filter may run after actions to compress the response content before sending them out to end users.

A filter may consist of a prefilter (filtering logic applied before actions) and/or a postfilter (logic applied after actions). Filters are essentially a special kind of behavior. Therefore, using filters is the same as using behaviors.

Let's assume that we have a web application, which provides a user interface for working only at specified hours, for example, from 10 AM to 6 PM.

Getting ready

Create a new application using the Composer package manager, as described in the official guide at http://www.yiiframework.com/doc-2.0/guide-start-installation.html.

How to do it…

  1. Create a controller, @app/controllers/TestController.php, as follows:

    <?php

namespace...

Displaying static pages

If you have a few static pages and aren't going to change them very frequently, then it's not worth querying the database and implementing page management for them.

Getting ready

Create a new application using the Composer package manager, as described in the official guide at http://www.yiiframework.com/doc-2.0/guide-startinstallation.html.

How to do it…

  1. Create the test controller file, @app/controllers/TestController.php, as follows:

    <?php

namespace app\controllers;

use yii\web\Controller;

class TestController extends Controller
{
    public function actions()
    {
        return [
            'page' => [
                'class' => 'yii\web\ViewAction',
            ]
        ];
    }
}

  2. Now, put your pages into views/test/pages, and name them index.php and contact.php. The content of index.php is as follows:

    <h1>Index</h1>
content of index file

Contact.php content is:

<h2>Contacts</h2>
<p>Our contact: contact@localhost</p...

Using flash messages

When you are editing a model with a form, deleting a model, or doing any other operation, it is good to tell users if it went well or if there was an error. Typically, after some kind of action, such as editing a form, a redirect will happen and we need to display a message on the page we want to go to. However, how do we pass it from the current page to the redirect target and clean up afterwards? Flash messages will help us do this.

Getting ready

Create a new application using the Composer package manager, as described in the official guide at http://www.yiiframework.com/doc-2.0/guide-start-installation.html.

How to do it…

  1. Let's create a @app/controllers/TestController.php controller as follows:

    <?php

namespace app\controllers;

use Yii;
use yii\web\Controller;
use yii\filters\AccessControl;

class TestController extends Controller
{
    public function behaviors()
    {
        return [
            'access' => [
                'class' => AccessControl::className...

Very good reference of, in my opinion the best PHP framework. The writer don't take you up in a story of his experiances, but the topics are clear and there is a download of the code from the book available.

What is custom duty/charge? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

  • If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
  • Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.
