Description

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Would like to be able to use JsExpression in Yii3, like in Yii2 making it possible to json encode javascript expressions.
JsExpression seems to have been removed from Yii3

What is the expected result?

Passing Javascript Expressons as a JsExpression object to Json_encode, see usage in Yii2.

What do you get instead?

This much needed functionality seems to have been removed in Yii3... unless there is another way it is now being done!?
