This is a clone of the official web application https://github.com/yiisoft/app

What was added/modififed:

• CSS Bootstrap was added and the main menu was created
  • Rendered using Yiisoft\Yii\Widgets\Menu from https://github.com/yiisoft/yii-widgets
• Added more containers (mainly MariaDB) to docker/dev/compose.yml
  • Added more env variables to docker/.env
• MariaDB is used, migrations were enabled in CLI, password hashing, Annotations and Repository were engaged.
• REST API enabled. See config/common/routes.php and src/Api.
  • Some middleware was moved from config/web/di/application.php to config/common/routes.php
  • ... because session and CSRF are only needed in the web application
  • Note: Error "422 Unprocessable entity" = missing CSRF token
  • Note: Error "Formatter is not set" = the API does not know whether XML or JSON should be returned. See the solution in config/common/routes.php.
• REST API endpoints added
  • / = Lists all the users
  • /login = validates the login and creates the bearer token
    • Use this data in the POST request: { "username": "admin", "password": "admin" }
  • /bearer = tests if the correct bearer token is in the POST request
    • Use the "Bearer Token" Auth Type in Postman on the Authorization tab.
• Enabled step debugging via xDebug
• The first attempt at the user-CRUD implemented. Only routes index & view work.
• Font Awesome added (via CDN)
• GridView used to display list of users

TODO:

• Filter in the GridView should be an array: <input name="filter[id]" ...>. But it may not be possible. See renderFilter() in DataColumnRenderer.
• Study all the files in the src/Api/Shared folder. Are they needed? I just copied them from the API demo.
• Use ActiveRecord
• Show usage of https://htmx.org/
• Implement user management
• Add language and timezone selection to the main menu, save them to the user profile
• Place the language-code at the beginning of the URL?
• Implement translations and localization (datetime format, numbers, etc.)
