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, 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_userand 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!
