This is a simple Yii 2 tutorial. It is build from the Yii 2 Basic Project template described as being best for rapidly creating small projects. In this tutorial I created a gallery using bootstrap 4. You can add items to the gallery, edit, view and delete. You can login and logout to view different changes.

The template contains the basic features including user login/logout and a contact page. It includes all commonly used configurations that would allow you to focus on adding new features to your application.

You can see the walk-through via - https://wftutorials.wordpress.com/2019/01/02/the-yii2-tutorial/
