Yii2 page title other than inherit controller from another class tha controller

In my controller's action, the page title may be set as follows:

$this->view->title .= ' | Some title';

The problem here, it is not seem to have a default title for the whole of the application. i.e My site name | the page title.

The only way that I, currently, know to work is to make another controller class inherited from the controller class and the define or set $this->view->title define it in the construction method, then inherit all of my controllers from this class like the following:

namespace common\controllers
use Yii;
use yii\web\Controller;

class MainController extends Controller
{
   function __construct()
   {
     $this->view->title = 'My site name ';
   }
}

Then in any controller I should extend from MainController.

The question is:

Is there any configuration way or bootstrap way to set a default value for the page title, then I can concatenate another value to it through the action?

You could simply handle this in your layout :

<title>My site name | <?= Html::encode($this->title) ?></title>

And after in your view, you just have to set the title like this :

$this->title = 'Some title';

Or you could also set the application name in your config

$config = [
    'name' => 'My site name',
    ...
];

And use it in your layout :

<title><?= Yii::$app->name ?> | <?= Html::encode($this->title) ?></title>
