README

This Yii2 boilerplate template is based on the yii2-app-practical-a template.

The template includes four tiers: front end, back end, console and REST, each of which is a separate Yii application.

The template is designed to work in a team development environment. It supports deploying the application in different environments.

Detailed documentation can be referred at docs/guide/README.md.
