What should be in the frontend and what should be in the backend?

Question

Yii

Previously, I only worked with yii2 basic, but then I had to work with the advanced version, and then I saw two folders - frontend and backend. And then I hit a dead end. The task is elementary - to get data from the database and display it on the page. So, the question is: where do you need to create models for tables and controllers? In which part of the views to display the result?

Answer 1

Not the best name from the Yii2 team (which they admit)
It's all backend - it's 2 applications created as a sample and are not at least a dogma for the structure of your project, just for convenience
frontend- they imply that this will be a project for the site itself, backend -- site admin panel
It's still the same Yii2, just a slightly more sophisticated structure is
