Yii2 component: yii2-gon. Push variables from PHP to JS.

This component publishes json serialisable data as 'key -> value' from PHP code into global JS variable window.gon.

Why?

The need for such an extensions came while working on web apps with mixed approach: rich JavaScript GUI on web page, but each page is reloaded and most of bussiness logic is still on the backend side.

The simples solution for a quick prototyping is pushing a data from PHP controller to global JS variable. That makes you free from a lot of REST API getters (you can make a lot without an API at all). So I did the first protype of this extension during "EU Web Challenge 2015" tasks coding. And now publish it as a standalone package.

Idea is inspired by Ruby gem gon https://github.com/gazay/gon (the name is taken from it too. "GON" authors - in case of any naming issues, just ping me :))
