Overcoming removal of client helpers (e.g. ajaxLink) and ClientScript in Yii 2.0

Created 12 years ago by Kartik V Kartik V, updated 12 years ago by Kartik V Kartik V. 2 comments

Alternatively, inline assets (JS/CSS) can be registered at runtime from within the View. For example you can clearly simulate the ajaxLink feature using a inline javascript. Its however recommended if you can merge where possible, client code (JS/CSS) into separate JS/CSS files and loaded through the AssetBundle. Note there is no more need of a CClientScript anymore:

Auto-update denormalized attributes with MongoDb and Yii2

Created 12 years ago by edoardo849 edoardo849, updated 12 years ago by CeBe CeBe. 0 comments

You have different collections in MongoDb with de-normalized attributes. As you may know, due to its not-join nature, MongoDb tends to encourage repetition of the same value in different collections (de-normalization). In this MongoDb is opposed to a more SQL-like approach where you usually reference only the ID of the value with a foreign key.
