Yii2 dev digest #7 Apr'14

Apr 16, 2014, 10:07:12 AM

Lucky 7th digest dedicated to Beta release . Not so much really new to say after Beta release notes on Yii site, but I can't stay away :)
Thanks for a big PR campaign by Alexander Makarov (@sam_dark), previous dev digest was seen by more than 5500 people. Quite impressive and gives me more inspiration to make new reviews! As usual - Russian version of this digest is available (see the link above) !
tl;dr;
Yii2 beta Release, PSR-2, DI, new RBAC, consistent Url helper, a lot of new widgets

Yii2 Tips & Tricks

        $url = ['site/index'];
        $url['Model'] = $model->attributes;
        echo Url::to($url);
common\models\ArticleData
backend\models\ArticleData (extends from common\models\ArticleData)
frontend\models\ArticleData (extends from common\models\ArticleData)

This way I can re-use this relation both from backend and frontend without re-declaring

$calledClass = static::className();
$nsPosition = strrpos($calledClass, '\\');
$calledNS = substr($calledClass, 0, $nsPosition);
...
return $this->hasMany(forward_static_call([$calledNS . '\ArticlesData', 'className']), ['bla' => 'bla_id']);
'request'=> [
            'class' => '\yii\web\Request',
            'hostInfo' => $params['backendUrl'],
            'baseUrl' => $params['backendUrl'],
        ],

or mock $_SERVER somewhere in app bootstrap

$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] = 'mydomain.com';
$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] = 'mydomain.com';
 namespace app\models;

 use yii\base\Object;
 use yii\db\Connection;
 use yii\di\Container;

 interface UserFinderInterface
 {
     function findUser();
 }

 class UserFinder extends Object implements UserFinderInterface
 {
     public $db;

     public function __construct(Connection $db, $config = [])
     {
         $this->db = $db;
         parent::__construct($config);
     }

     public function findUser()
     {
     }
 }

 class UserLister extends Object
 {
     public $finder;

     public function __construct(UserFinderInterface $finder, $config = [])
     {
         $this->finder = $finder;
         parent::__construct($config);
     }
 }

 $container = new Container;
 $container->set('yii\db\Connection', [
     'dsn' => '...',
 ]);
 $container->set('app\models\UserFinderInterface', [
     'class' => 'app\models\UserFinder',
 ]);
 $container->set('userLister', 'app\models\UserLister');

 $lister = $container->get('userLister');

 // which is equivalent to:

 $db = new \yii\db\Connection(['dsn' => '...']);
 $finder = new UserFinder($db);
 $lister = new UserLister($finder);
