Require Yii2 JS Prams using Composer:

You can passed any variables you want when render view with addition jsParams element in view params:

use yii\web\Controller;

class TestController extends Controller
{

    public function actionTest()
    {
        return $this->render('test', [
            'jsParams' => [
                'test' => 'vxm'
            ]
        ]);
    }
}

And get this data on the frontend side from window.serverParams:

Note: all variables will passed at View::POS_HEAD please make sure a definition ($this->head()) on your layout file.

Global params

Sometime you need to passed some params to all of view file, you can config it in your app config file:

'components' => [
    'view' => [
        'params' => [
            'jsParams' => ['test' => 'vxm']
        ]
    ]
]

Or config an anonymous function:

'components' => [
    'view' => [
        'params' => [
            'jsParams' => function() {
            
                return ['identity' => Yii::$app->user->identity->toArray()]
            }
        ]
    ]
]

Now use it on client side:

<script>

    console.log(window.serverParams.identity);

</script>
