Yii / Yii2 Framework

Yii is a component-based object-oriented framework. The unusual name stands for Yes it is! It is intended for PHP development, which is based on the MVC (Model-view-controller) paradigm.

MVC is an architectural template that involves the separation of the system into a data model, user interface, and control module (controller).

The main advantage of the Yii framework and its next version of Yii2 is its significant speed and performance. Another important advantage is ease of development, and the main field of application is the development of technically complex and unrealizable projects using simple CMS:

• web services;
• business applications;
• highly demanding sites.

Let’s take a closer look at the benefits of the Yii and Yii2 frameworks. First of all, the developers note high performance when compared with other frameworks for PHP. It also uses the DAO (data access object) interface and the ActiveRecord interface, which simplify working with databases.

The Yii framework allows you to:

• Allows you to cache entire pages and their individual fragments;
• allows error handling with preliminary interception;
• uses functionality for working with forms, ensuring their construction and subsequent validation;
• implements authorization and authentication;
• It has built-in generators of PHP-code, which are used to implement CRUD-operations;
• supports themes;
• equipped with the ability to connect additional libraries;

• supports the architectural style of REST (representational state transfer);
• makes it possible to conduct testing in automatic mode.

The Yii2 framework, while retaining all the positive properties of the first version, also has several new features. So, in this version, a new class appears that is responsible for all types of applications and displays information. This framework, like its predecessor, uses standard methods for solving various problems, thus simplifying the code and reducing the time it takes to create it.

A common architecture for both versions and an active community of developers make it easier to support the code and the framework itself. Thanks to this, creating a site on Yii2 takes shorter time, compared to other frameworks – with the same complexity of the technical task.

Yii and Yii2 are ideal for serious, high-load web applications, support page caching and accelerate the development of sites and complex online services. If you need a high performance Yii / Yii2 website, contact AVADA MEDIA.

The frameworks work with the PHP language, which is today the main tool for web development. It is used in creating dynamic web applications and sites. Create sites and web systems in the PHP language and using the frameworks Yii | Yii2 and the company AVADA MEDIA.

PHP language has high versatility, simple syntax and high speed. PHP code can be embedded directly into web pages, where it will work quite correctly. Sites created in PHP are very reliable and resistant to hacking, so this language – and the Yii / Yii2 framework – are today the main link for creating applications in the field of e-commerce and finance.

Also in conjunction with the Yii / Yii2 framework, the object-oriented JavaScript language is used. It allows you to create scripts for web pages that need to be interactive.

We have Middle and Senior programmers, with more than 7 years of experience – and you can see the results of our developments on Yii2 work in the portfolio.

For example, the logistics service MOBY WAY, which is used to quickly search and select trucks and cars for a variety of tasks. This service is used by customers, dispatchers and drivers, for which both the desktop version and the mobile application are implemented.

Another example of development on the Yii2 framework is the VKINO.UA online ticketing service. Working with all cinemas in the country and the ability to not only order tickets, but also view trailers, get acquainted with the latest news and reviews – this is the result of the framework’s high performance.

Websites of construction companies are often also created on Yii2, such as, for example, CLUB MARINE, specializing in the construction of elite housing. The site should provide comprehensive information about all the features, both textual and visual, including 3D-visualization. But thanks to the use of Yii2, the site is fast on all devices.

In addition, a CRM-system for booking and selling apartments was added to the site and integrated. And due to the fact that it was originally developed on Yii2, this integration was pretty quick and painless.

Particular attention in AVADA MEDIA is given to the development of CRM systems using Yi2. Among those launched and introduced into the business, it is worth noting: “MY HOUSE 24” system, CRM “NOVOSTROY”, CRM for the SPETSPOZHSERVICE engineering company.

Specialists of AVADA MEDIA are ready to tackle the most complex projects. Before starting the development, we conduct business analysis and design the architecture of the future product, create the client part using the Vue.js JavaScript framework and the React library on which the user interface is created. Only then does the development of the backend (software, invisible part of the site) begin using Yii / Yii2 in PHP.

We at AVADA MEDIA know how to create sophisticated, productive products that are most useful for business.
