yiic code generators

Hi all,

My company is considering changing PHP development framework and i’m taking a look a yii.

I found yii a very good framework and appears to fit well into our development process.

Yet, I have a concern about yiic code generators…

I read that is being deprecated and gii will become the standard for code generation.

I don’t understand how can this be true, it’s a productivity drawback. I just can’t see how this is better for developers (even new ones), it’s really painful!!

Does anyone knows what is the state for yiic code generator deprecation?

i also prefer yiic over gii in my development workflow

Well, its Open Source, so you can do what you want with it :slight_smile:

I don’t find anything painful with Gii whatsoever, much simpler than command line.

I prefer being part of an Open Source community project rather than "do what i want with it" alone.

I’m only trying to find if Gii is the way this framework is going…

I believe so, however I don’t believe that the command line tool is being removed - to begin, its needed to generate the base application.

What I meant by "do what you want with it" is, its Open Source, so you can modify/extend the command line tool to your requirements.
