Can you advise the correct implementation of the REST API using Yii+Backbone?

Question

JavaScript

This is a test task. The essence of the task is simple: you need to create a travel planner. I can log in, see a list of planned trips, go to a specific one, see the timer before departure... Full CRUD. ACL system.
You need to implement REST.
The application is completely asynchronous (up to authorization).
I chose the following technology stack:
PHP - Yii 1.14
-RBAC
-AdminLTE template (package)
-Backbone (package)
-REST extension ( www.yiiframework.com/extension/restfullyii )
-YiiUser (module)
-YiiWheels (?)
Backbone
Underscore
JQuery
Basically, questions are caused by a bunch of Backbone -> REST -> Yii. As should work - approximately I understand. Little experience in implementation. On the project in total + - 9 days. The design is not important.
Tell me, maybe you should choose a bunch of easier? What is the best way to link backbone + yii? What you should pay attention to? What will take the most time?

Answer 1

It is better to write directly in Yii2. IMHO, it's more convenient to work with Rest. Everything out of the box including normal Bootstrap support. Use JWT
for authentication . On the Backbone side, when you get a token, just add it to all requests . You don't need YiiWheels - these are Bootstrap implementations for Yii, and your interface will be implemented through Backbone. It is not clear whether you should also have an admin panel on the backbone. If not, then everything can be generated through Gii. It is better not to chase after the prettiness of the AdminLTE template. Time to add.

Answer 2

On dotnet, this can be implemented in a couple of days.
