Yii2 Models for Modules

In my application I have all models in app/models. Now I created module in app/modules/admin. Should I use models form app/models or create new models in app/modules/admin/models?

What is the best practice?

You should create models specific for admin module in app/modules/admin/models and create models common for whole application in app/models.

You can extend existing models in new module if you need to have specific behavior.

In app/models:

namespace app\models;

class Post extends \yii\db\ActiveRecord
{
}

In app/modules/admin/models:

namespace app\modules\admin\models;

class Post extends \app\models\Post
{
}

So you can share business logic between modules.

Also take a look at Yii 2 Advanced Project Template. There are three models directories:

backend/models
frontend/models
common/models
