Author

This package integrates the Jaxon library with the Yii framework, allowing to make AJAX calls to PHP classes.

This package automatically export all PHP classes installed in a given directory to Javascript, so their methods can be called directly from the browser.

The Jaxon library provides a Response object that allows in the PHP application to modify the content and layout of a page, and execute Javascript code on the client side.

Jaxon Library for Yii

This package integrates the Jaxon library into the Yii 2 framework.

Features

  • Automatically register Jaxon classes from a preset directory.
  • Read Jaxon options from a config file.

Installation

Add the following lines in the composer.json file, and run the composer update command.

"require": {
    "jaxon-php/jaxon-yii": "~3.1"
}

Declare the Jaxon module in the config/web.php file.

    'modules' => [
        'jaxon' => [
            'class' => 'Jaxon\Yii\Module',
        ],
    ],

Configuration

The Jaxon library settings are defined in the @app/config/jaxon.php file, and separated into two sections. The options in the lib section are those of the Jaxon core library, while the options in the app sections are those of the Yii application.

The following options can be defined in the app section of the config file.

| Name | Description | |------|---------------| | directories | An array of directory containing Jaxon application classes | | views | An array of directory containing Jaxon application views | | | | |

By default, the views array is empty. Views are rendered from the framework default location. There's a single entry in the directories array with the following values.

| Name | Default value | Description | |------|---------------|-------------| | directory | @app/jaxon/classes | The directory of the Jaxon classes | | namespace | \Jaxon\App | The namespace of the Jaxon classes | | separator | . | The separator in Jaxon class names | | protected | empty array | Prevent Jaxon from exporting some methods | | | | |

Usage

This is an example of a Yii controller using the Jaxon library.

namespace app\controllers;

use Yii;
use yii\web\Controller;

class DemoController extends Controller
{
    public function actionIndex()
    {
        // Set the layout
        $this->layout = 'demo';
        // Get the Jaxon module
        $jaxon = Yii::$app->getModule('jaxon');
        $jaxon->register();

        return $this->render('index', array(
            'jaxonCss' => $jaxon->css(),
            'jaxonJs' => $jaxon->js(),
            'jaxonScript' => $jaxon->script()
        ));
    }
}

Before it prints the page, the controller calls the $jaxon->css(), $jaxon->js() and $jaxon->script() functions to get the CSS and javascript codes generated by Jaxon, which it inserts into the page.

The Jaxon classes

The Jaxon classes can inherit from \Jaxon\CallableClass. By default, they are located in the @app/jaxon/classes dir of the Yii application, and the associated namespace is \Jaxon\App.

This is an example of a Jaxon class, defined in the @app/jaxon/classes/HelloWorld.php file.

namespace Jaxon\App;

class HelloWorld extends \Jaxon\CallableClass
{
    public function sayHello()
    {
        $this->response->assign('div2', 'innerHTML', 'Hello World!');
        return $this->response;
    }
}

Request processing

By default, the Jaxon request are handled by the controller in the src/Controllers/JaxonController.php file. The /jaxon route is defined in the src/Module/Module.php file, and linked to the JaxonController::actionIndex() method.
