We are proud to announce 2amigos’ rebranding and our new visual identity which demonstrates the transformation of our company throughout the years.

In our applications, we often use Yii2 framework and through our experience we have learned how to make our applications faster by using optimal solutions.

Yii2 is a quick, secure and very reliable PHP framework that allows for an easy way of installation, high extensibility, testing support, caching support and many other factors that help developers to create robust projects quickly.

Asset minification and modularization is typically a fast process in most projects but in Yii2, it is a different beast altogether. This is mostly due to the fact that Yii2 has a different way of loading and bundling assets when importing widgets and other libraries.

I had to create an embeddable and portable widget for one of our customers. What it seemed to be an easy task it had a number of challenges to overcome. On this blog post I am sharing those challenges and what I did to solve each one of them.
