To create a module in Yii, follow the steps below:

  1. Create a new directory in the modules directory of your Yii application.
  2. Create a new file called Module.php in the new module directory.
  3. In the Module.php file, create a new class that extends yiiaseModule.
  4. Define any properties or methods specific to your module in this new class.
  5. Create a new directory in the module directory for your module's controllers.
  6. Create any controllers you need for your module.
  7. Create a new directory in the module directory for your module's views.
  8. Create any views you need for your module.
  9. In the main configuration file (config/web.php), add a new entry to the modules array, with the key being the name of your module and the value being an array of configuration options for your module.


Here is an example of what the Module.php file might look like:


And here is an example of how to add this module to the configuration:
