Overview

The Dreams EMR Yii 2 application implements an intelligent title generation system using PHP that analyzes route names and converts them into user-friendly page titles. This system processes route names through multiple transformation steps to create readable, properly formatted titles.

All generated titles follow this consistent format:

<title> {Generated Title} | Dreams EMR - Responsive Bootstrap 5 Medical Admin Template</title>

The Dreams EMR Yii 2 app uses JSON files to store and retrieve data through a helper system. This offers a simple and lightweight alternative to databases and works smoothly with Yii 2’s MVC structure.

Key Features

JSON Helper Function

// helpers/JsonHelper.php
<?php

namespace app\helpers;

use Yii;

class JsonHelper
{
    public static function loadJson(string $fileName): array
    {
        // Store JSON inside web/assets/json/ (public) or @app/data/json (private)
        $file = Yii::getAlias('@webroot') . '/assets/json/' . $fileName;

        if (is_file($file)) {
            $jsonContent = file_get_contents($file);
            return json_decode($jsonContent, true) ?? [];
        }

        return [];
    }
}

Routes Configuration

//controllers/PagesController.php
<?php

namespace app\controllers;

use Yii;
use yii\filters\AccessControl;
use yii\web\Controller;
use app\helpers\JsonHelper;
use yii\web\Response;
use yii\filters\VerbFilter;

class PagesController extends Controller
{
    public function actionCalendar()
    {
        $this->layout = 'main';
        return $this->render('/calendar');  
    }   

    // Auth Pages (without sidebar, topbar, modal-popup)
    public function actionChangePassword()
    {
        $this->layout = 'auth_main';
        return $this->render('/change-password');  
    } 

    // Json Injected routes
    public function actionPatientDetailsAppointments()
    {
        $this->layout = 'main';
        $patients = JsonHelper::loadJson('patient-details-appointments.json');
        return $this->render('/patient-details-appointments', [
            'patients' => $patients
        ]);
    }

    public function actionPatientDetailsDocuments()
    {
        $this->layout = 'main';
        $patients = JsonHelper::loadJson('patient-details-documents.json');
        return $this->render('/patient-details-documents', [
            'patients' => $patients
        ]);
    }
}

View Implementation

// Views/all-patients-list.php
<div class="table-responsive">
	<table class="table table-hover table-center mb-0">
		<thead>
			<tr>
				<th>ID</th>
				<th>Name</th>
				<th>Email</th>
				<th>Phone</th>
				<th>Actions</th>
			</tr>
		</thead>
		<tbody>
			<?php if (!empty($patients)): ?>
				<?php foreach ($patients as $patient): ?>
					<tr>
						<td><?= htmlspecialchars($patient['id']) ?></td>
						<td><?= htmlspecialchars($patient['name']) ?></td>
						<td><?= htmlspecialchars($patient['email']) ?></td>
						<td><?= htmlspecialchars($patient['phone']) ?></td>
						<td>
							<a href="patient-details" class="btn btn-sm btn-primary">View</a>
						</td>
					</tr>
				<?php endforeach; ?>
			<?php else: ?>
				<tr>
					<td colspan="5" class="text-center">No data found</td>
				</tr>
			<?php endif; ?>
		</tbody>
	</table>
</div>
