rules() public method Returns the validation rules for attributes. Validation rules are used by validate() to check if attribute values are valid. Child classes may override this method to declare different validation rules.

They should be file paths relative to $templatePath.

hints() public method Returns the list of hint messages. The array keys are the attribute names, and the array values are the corresponding hint messages.

getDescription() public method public string getDescription ( )return string The detailed description of the generator.

getControllerNamespace() public method public string getControllerNamespace ( )return string The controller namespace of the module.

generate() public method Generates the code based on the current user input and the specified code template files. This is the main method that child classes should implement.
