Last updated on December 21, 2022

In this tutorial, you will learn how to create a custom Component in Yii2 and I will show you how to use created a component in your application.

Here are the simple steps, just follow the step at the end you will have your first custom component.

Step1:
Make a folder named “components” in your project root folder.

step2:
Create a file with desired component name inside the components folder and copy and paste the below code. Example – MyComponent.php

namespace app\components;
use Yii;
use yii\base\Component;
use yii\base\InvalidConfigException;
class MyComponent extends Component
{
public function welcome()
{
  echo "Welcome to MyComponent";
}
}

Step3:
Add your component inside the config/web.php file

eg:

'components' => [
          'mycomponent' => [
            'class' => 'app\components\MyComponent',
             ],
           ]

Step4:
You are done! Now you can use your component method “welcome” inside any of your app controller actions.

eg:controllers/TestController.php

namespace app\controllers;
use Yii;
class TestController extends \yii\web\Controller
{
    public function actionWelcome()
    {
       Yii::$app->mycomponent->welcome();
    }
}
