Installation

This document will guide you through the process of installing Yii2-autoparser using composer. Installation is a quick and easy three-step process.

Step 1: Download Yii2-user using composer

Add "deka6pb/yii2-autoparser": "*" to the require section of your composer.json file and run composer update to download and install Yii2-autoparser.

Step 2: Configure your application

NOTE: Make sure that you don't have any user component configuration in your config files.

Add following lines to your main configuration file:

'modules' => [
    'autoparser' => [
        'class' => 'deka6pb\yii2-autoparser\Module',
        'consumers' => $params['consumers'],
        'providers' => $params['providers'],
    ],
],

Step 3: Update database schema

NOTE: Make sure that you have properly configured db application component.

After you downloaded and configured Yii2-user, the last thing you need to do is updating your database schema by applying the migrations:

$ php yii migrate/up --migrationPath=@vendor/deka6pb/yii2-autoparser/migrations

Step 4: Add Consumers and Providers

Add following lines to your params.php configuration file:

'providers' => [
    'provider1' => [
        'class' => 'path to provider',
        'count' => 1,
        'homepage' => 'website',
        'on' => false
    ],
    ...
],
'consumers' => [
    'VkConsumer' => [
        'class' => 'backend\components\Consumers\VkConsumer',
        'APP_ID' => ***,
        'APP_SECRET' => '***',
        'ACCESS_TOKEN' => '***',

        'GROUP_ID' => ***,
        'on' => true
    ],
    ...
],

For example:

class VkConsumer extends PostDataConsumerBase {
    ...
}

class PikabuProvider extends PostDataProviderBase {
    ...
}
