Debug toolbar and debugger
==========================
Overview
--------
Yii2 includes a handy toolbar to aid faster development and debugging as well as debugger. Toolbar displays information
about currently opened page while using debugger you can analyze data collected before.

Error Handling
==============
Error handling in Yii is different from plain PHP. First of all, all non-fatal errors are converted to exceptions so
you can use `try`-`catch` to work with these. Second, even fatal errors are rendered in a nice way. In debug mode that
means you have a trace and a piece of code where it happened so it takes less time to analyze and fix it.

adding support for two popular template engines: Smarty and Twig. The Prado template engine is

extension for your Smarty views, or `twig` for Twig views. You may also configure the

Widgets
-------
Widgets are a self-contained building blocks for your views. A widget may contain advanced logic, typically takes some
configuration and data and returns HTML. There is a good number of widgets bundled with Yii such as [active form](form.md),
breadcrumbs, menu or [wrappers around bootstrap component framework](boostrap-widgets.md). Additionally there are
extensions providing additional widgets such as official one for jQueryUI components.
In order to use widget you need to do the following:
```php
// Note that you have to "echo" the result to display it
echo \yii\widgets\Menu::widget(array('items' => $items));
// Passing an array to initialize the object properties
$form = \yii\widgets\ActiveForm::begin(array(
'options' => array('class' => 'form-horizontal'),
'fieldConfig' => array('inputOptions' => array('class' => 'input-xlarge')),
));
... form inputs here ...
\yii\widgets\ActiveForm::end();
```
In the code above `widget` method is used for a widget that just outputs content while `begin` and `end` are used for a
widget that wraps content between method calls with its own output. In case of the form this output is the `<form>` tag
with some properties set.

Using View object

Using View object in templates

An instance of `yii\base\View` is available in view templates as `$this` variable. Using it you can do many useful things
including setting page title and meta, registering scripts and accessing the context.

### Registering scripts
With View object you can register scripts. There are two dedicated methods for it: `registerScript` for inline scripts
and `registerJsFile` for external scripts. Inline scripts are useful for configuration and dynamically generated code.
The method for adding these can be used as follows:
```php
$this->registerScript("var options = ".json_encode($options).";", View::POS_END, 'my-options');
```
First argument is the actual code where we're converting a PHP array of options to JavaScript one. Second argument
determines where script should be in the page. Possible values are:
- `View::POS_HEAD` for head section.
- `View::POS_BEGIN` for right after opening `<body>`.
- `View::POS_END` for right before closing `</body>`.
- `View::POS_READY` for executing code on document `ready` event. This one registers jQuery automatically.
The last argument is unique script ID that is used to identify code block and replace existing one with the same ID
instead of adding a new one.
External script can be added like the following:
```php
$this->registerJsFile('http://example.com/js/main.js');
```
Same as with external CSS it's preferred to use asset bundles for external scripts.

### Layout
A layout is a very convenient way to represent the part of the page that is common for all or at least for most pages
generated by your application. Typically it includes `<head>` section, footer, main menu and alike elements.
You can fine a fine example of the layout in a [basic application template](apps-basic.md). Here we'll review the very
basic one without any widgets or extra markup.
```php
<?php
use yii\helpers\Html;
?>
<?php $this->beginPage(); ?>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="<?php echo Yii::$app->charset; ?>">
<head>
<meta charset="<?php echo Yii::$app->charset; ?>"/>
<title><?php echo Html::encode($this->title); ?></title>
<?php $this->head(); ?>
</head>
<body>
<?php $this->beginBody(); ?>
<div class="container">
<?php echo $content; ?>
</div>
<footer class="footer">© 2013 me :)</footer>
<?php $this->endBody(); ?>
</body>
</html>
<?php $this->endPage(); ?>
```
In the markup above there's some code. First of all, `$content` is a variable that will contain result of views rendered
with controller's `$this->render()` method.

### Partials
Often you need to reuse some HTML markup in many views and often it's too simple to create a full-featured widget for it.

Customizing View component
--------------------------
Since view is also an application component named `view` you can replace it with your own component that extends
from `yii\base\View`. It can be done via application configuration file such as `config/web.php`:
```php
return array(
// ...
'components' => array(
'view' => array(
'class' => 'app\components\View',
),
// ...
),
);
