Comparing Laravel and Yii2

Onkar Janwa -

Routing Laravel

  • Easy routing in Laravel
  • Map a Closure to a route without using controller
  • Separate file for routing config
  • Http verb can be restricted in routing config
Route::get(‘foo’, function () {
 return ‘Hello World’;
});
Route::get(‘/user’, ‘UserController@getUser’);
Route::post(‘/user’, ‘UserController@createUser’);

Routing Yii2

  • Little Complex
  • Can’t map a Closure to a routing
  • Part of main config file
  • Http verb can be restricted in controller
[
    echo Url::to(['user'])
]

Session Laravel

  • Provide an easy way to extend session and write own session service
  • Out of box support for Memcached, Redis and mysql db session
  • We cann’t use php $_SESSION
// $request is instance of Request class.
$request->session()->get('key');
$request->session()->put('key','value');
$request->session()->has('key');

Session Yii2

  • Provides extensions to support Memcached, Redis and mysql db session
  • We can use php $_SESSIONinstead of Yii session.
// Yii::$app->session is a component
Yii::$app->session->get('key');
Yii::$app->session->set('key','value');
Yii::$app->session->has('key');

CACHE LARAVEL

  • Provide an easy way to extend cache and write own cache service
  • Out of box support for Memcached, Redis and mysql db cache
  • Does not provide query caching and cache dependency
