Class yii\web\ViewAction

Inheritance yii\web\ViewAction » yii\base\Action » yii\base\Component » yii\base\Object
Implements yii\base\Configurable
Available since version 2.0
Source Code https://github.com/yiisoft/yii2/blob/master/framework/web/ViewAction.php

ViewAction represents an action that displays a view according to a user-specified parameter.

By default, the view being displayed is specified via the view GET parameter. The name of the GET parameter can be customized via $viewParam.

Users specify a view in the format of path/to/view, which translates to the view name ViewPrefix/path/to/view where ViewPrefix is given by $viewPrefix. The view will then be rendered by the render() method of the currently active controller.

Note that the user-specified view name must start with a word character and can only contain word characters, forward slashes, dots and dashes.
