Yii2: Question: How to disable extension bootstrapping?

[schmunk42]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

We have a metapackage which contains some other Yii 2.0 extensions. If someone installs the package several extensions/modules are registered automatically in the application bootstrap process.

Is there a way to disable calls to bootstrap() in the configuration, eg. via $extensions?

manually update file @vendor/yiisoft/extensions.php then remark specific bootstrap :grinning:

[StalkAlex]

I am using some kind of hack:

$extensions = require Yii::getAlias('@vendor/yiisoft/extensions.php');
unset($extensions['packageName']);
$config  = [
    ...
    'extensions' = $extensions
    ...
];

another why. in bootstrap.php and

Yii::$container->set('ext\ns\Bootstrap',function(){
    return new yii\base\Object(); // or new stdClass();
});
