I’ve just read [size=“2”]http://www.yiiframew…-with-extension and asked myself, if the bootstrap feature could be used to auto-configure extensions. [/size]
[size="2"]In example, could a module automatically register itself and its migrations?[/size]
Or should this be done manually for some reasons?
This is exactly what bootstrap should be used for.
For migrations we have to check whether it works as expected.
So, I tried this https://gist.github.com/schmunk42/11102641 which works very well, but what would happen, if I install two modules which would i.e. use "user" as their module ID?
Could I reconfigure one of them?
Is it possible to regenerate "vendor/yiisoft/extension.php" somehow?
Are the some DOs and DONTs in the docs?
I noticed, that you can’t register a module from the module itself (in a bootstrap() method), but from a different class.
The bootstrap classes are executed for EVERY request.
Why would you want to regenerate extensions.php? The file is automatically regenerated each time you install/uninstall/update a composer package.
[size=2]I tried to debug an extension with a new extra:“bootstrap” and so I couldn’t remove or update this one.[/size]
[size=2]But [/size][size=2]I think it’s OK then, it was about testing the registration of the gii command …[/size]
