Tell about your experience developing and using the Yii framework in projects.

In PHP projects, I used the Yii framework, primarily version 2. My experience includes creating CRUD applications using ActiveRecord for database interactions, configuring routing, and developing REST APIs. Thanks to Yii, I was able to quickly implement user authentication and authorization using built-in components. I also used Gii — a code generator that sped up the development of template parts of the application.

Example of using ActiveRecord in Yii2:

$user = User::findOne($id);
$user->email = 'newemail@example.com';
$user->save();

I utilized event and behavior features to extend model functionality without modifying their code. Overall, Yii helped structure the project and accelerated development with its rich set of ready-made components.
