Yii 2 extension to manage cookie warning

What is it for?

In 2009, the European Union sought new regulations as part of an "e-privacy" directive, seeing cookies as a potential threat to privacy, because users often don't know they are being tracked.
This extension adds the information about cookies for the Yii website.

Requirements

Yii 2

Installation

Get it through composer by adding the package to your composer.json:

{
    "require": {
        "bizley/cookiemonster": "*"
    }
}

Or run composer require bizley/cookiemonster.

Usage

Add this code in your main template file just before <?php $this->endBody() ?>

<?= \bizley\cookiemonster\CookieMonster::widget() ?>

This will render widget with all default options (and 'top' layout).
If you want to configure it add options array.

<?= \bizley\cookiemonster\CookieMonster::widget([/* options here */]) ?>

All options (and options' options) are described below.
For example if you want to use custom message on the button and use 'bottom' layout set:

<?= \bizley\cookiemonster\CookieMonster::widget([
    'content' => [
        'buttonMessage' => 'OK', // instead of default 'I understand'
    ],
    'mode' => 'bottom'
]); ?>
