You can use this package in your existing application or start a new project using the yii2-app-api application template. For usage of the template, see instructions in the template repo readme.

In your existing Yii application config (works for console as well as web):

<?php
$config = [
    // ... this is your application config ...
];

if (YII_ENV_DEV) {
    // enable Gii module
    $config['bootstrap'][] = 'gii';
    $config['modules']['gii'] = [
        'class' => yii\gii\Module::class,
        'generators' => [
            // add ApiGenerator to Gii module
            'api' => \cebe\yii2openapi\generator\ApiGenerator::class,
        ],
    ];
}

return $config;

To use the web generator, open index.php?r=gii and select the REST API Generator.

On console you can run the generator with ./yii gii/api --openApiPath=@app/openapi.yaml. Where @app/openapi.yaml should be the absolute path to your OpenAPI spec file. This can be JSON as well as YAML (see also cebe/php-openapi for supported formats).

Run ./yii gii/api --help for all options.

This library understands the following extensions to the OpenAPI spec:

You may specify custom PHP code for generating fake data for a property:

    Post:
      properties:
        id:
          type: integer
        tags:
          type: array
          items:
            type: string
          example: ['one', 'two']
          x-faker: "$faker->randomElements(['one', 'two', 'three', 'four'])"
