 * CWebModule represents an application module.

 * An application module may be considered as a self-contained sub-application
 * that has its own controllers, models and views and can be reused in a different
 * project as a whole. Controllers inside a module must be accessed with routes
 * that are prefixed with the module ID.
 *
 * @property string $name The name of this module.
 * @property string $description The description of this module.
 * @property string $version The version of this module.
 * @property string $controllerPath The directory that contains the controller classes. Defaults to 'moduleDir/controllers'
 * where moduleDir is the directory containing the module class.
 * @property string $viewPath The root directory of view files. Defaults to 'moduleDir/views' where moduleDir is
 * the directory containing the module class.
 * @property string $layoutPath The root directory of layout files. Defaults to 'moduleDir/views/layouts' where
 * moduleDir is the directory containing the module class.
