Backend UI for Yii2 Framework, based on AdminLTE

Installation

composer require ovidiupop/yii2-adminlte-asset "^2.1"

'components' => [
    'view' => [
         'theme' => [
             'pathMap' => [
                '@app/views' => '@vendor/ovidiupop/yii2-adminlte-asset/example-views/yiisoft/yii2-app'
             ],
         ],
    ],
],

Plugins

use yii\web\AssetBundle;
class AdminLtePluginAsset extends AssetBundle
{
    public $sourcePath = '@vendor/almasaeed2010/adminlte/plugins';
    public $css = [
        'chart.js/Chart.min.css',
        // more plugin CSS here
    ];
    public $js = [
        'chart.js/Chart.bundle.min.js'
        // more plugin Js here
    ];
    public $depends = [
        'ovidiupop\adminlte\web\AdminLteAsset',
    ];
}

As this asset depends on our AdminLteAsset it's the only asset you have to register, for example in your main.php layout file.

Custom content header

If you want to use native DOM of headers AdminLTE

<h1>
    About <small>static page</small>
</h1>

then you can follow the code:

/* @var yii\web\View $this */

$this->params['breadcrumbs'][] = 'About';

$this->beginBlock('content-header'); ?>
About <small>static page</small>
<?php $this->endBlock(); ?>

<div class="site-about">
    <p> This is the About page. You may modify the following file to customize its content: </p>
    <code><?= __FILE__ ?></code>
</div>

Left sidebar menu - Widget Menu

If you need to separate sections of the menu then just add the header option to item in items

    'items' => [
        ['label' => 'Gii', 'iconType' => 'far' 'icon' => 'file-code', 'url' => ['/gii']],
        ['label' => 'Debug', 'icon' => 'dashboard-alt', 'url' => ['/debug']],
        ['label' => 'MAIN NAVIGATION', 'header' => true], // here
        // ... a group items
        ['label' => '', 'header' => true],
        // ... a group items
        ['label' => '', 'header' => true],
        // ... a group items

To add a badge for a item:

'items' => [
    [
        'label' => 'Mailbox',
        'iconType' => 'far',
        'icon' => 'envelope',
        'url' => ['/mailbox'],
        'badge' => '<span class="badge badge-info right">123</span>'
    ],
]

By default to icons will be added prefix of Font Awesome

Template for Gii CRUD generator

Tell Gii about our template. The setting is made in the config file:

if (YII_ENV_DEV) {
    $config['modules']['gii'] = [
        'class' => 'yii\gii\Module',
        'generators' => [ // HERE
            'crud' => [
                'class' => 'yii\gii\generators\crud\Generator',
                'templates' => [
                    'adminlte' => '@vendor/ovidiupop/yii2-adminlte-asset/gii/templates/crud/simple',
                ]
            ]
        ],
    ];
}
