Class yii\gii\console\GenerateController

Returns the value of a component property.

This method will check in the following order and act accordingly:

• a property defined by a getter: return the getter result
• a property of a behavior: return the behavior property value

Do not call this method directly as it is a PHP magic method that will be implicitly called when executing $value = $component->property;.

Sets the value of a component property.

This method will check in the following order and act accordingly:

• a property defined by a setter: set the property value
• an event in the format of "on xyz": attach the handler to the event "xyz"
• a behavior in the format of "as xyz": attach the behavior named as "xyz"
• a property of a behavior: set the behavior property value

Do not call this method directly as it is a PHP magic method that will be implicitly called when executing $component->property = $value;.

Declares external actions for the controller.

This method is meant to be overwritten to declare external actions for the controller. It should return an array, with array keys being action IDs, and array values the corresponding action class names or action configuration arrays. For example,

return [
    'action1' => 'app\components\Action1',
    'action2' => [
        'class' => 'app\components\Action2',
        'property1' => 'value1',
        'property2' => 'value2',
    ],
];

Yii::createObject() will be used later to create the requested action using the configuration provided here.

Creates an action based on the given action ID.

The method first checks if the action ID has been declared in actions(). If so, it will use the configuration declared there to create the action object. If not, it will look for a controller method whose name is in the format of actionXyz where xyz is the action ID. If found, an yii\base\InlineAction representing that method will be created and returned.

Returns the help information for the anonymous arguments for the action.

The returned value should be an array. The keys are the argument names, and the values are the corresponding help information. Each value must be an array of the following structure:

• required: boolean, whether this argument is required.
• type: string, the PHP type of this argument.
• default: string, the default value of this argument
• comment: string, the comment of this argument

The default implementation will return the help information extracted from the doc-comment of the parameters corresponding to the action method.

Returns the detailed help information for the specified action.

Returns a one-line short summary describing the specified action.

Returns the help information for the options for the action.

The returned value should be an array. The keys are the option names, and the values are the corresponding help information. Each value must be an array of the following structure:

• type: string, the PHP type of this argument.
• default: string, the default value of this argument
• comment: string, the comment of this argument

The default implementation will return the help information extracted from the doc-comment of the properties corresponding to the action options.

Initializes the object.

This method is invoked at the end of the constructor after the object is initialized with the given configuration.

Returns the names of valid options for the action (id) An option requires the existence of a public member variable whose name is the option name.

Child classes may override this method to specify possible options.

Note that the values setting via options are not available until beforeAction() is being called.
