widgets

implements BootstrapInterface uses BootstrapTrait

ActiveForm is a widget that builds an interactive HTML form for one or multiple data models and extends the [[YiiActiveForm]] widget to handle various bootstrap form types and new functionality.

For example,

// Horizontal Form
$form = ActiveForm::begin([
     'id' => 'form-signup',
     'type' => ActiveForm::TYPE_HORIZONTAL
]);
// Inline Form
$form = ActiveForm::begin([
     'id' => 'form-login',
     'type' => ActiveForm::TYPE_INLINE
     'fieldConfig' => ['autoPlaceholder'=>true]
]);
// Horizontal Form Configuration
$form = ActiveForm::begin([
     'id' => 'form-signup',
     'type' => ActiveForm::TYPE_HORIZONTAL
     'formConfig' => ['labelSpan' => 2, 'deviceSize' => ActiveForm::SIZE_SMALL]
]);

Interfaces

CSS conversion mappings across bootstrap library versions.

This is set as $key => $value pairs where:

$key: string, is the style type to be configured (one of the constants starting with BS_)
$value: array, consists of 3 rows / items, each of which can be setup either as string (single CSS class) or an array (multiple CSS classes). Each of the row items indicate the following:
- the first item represents the CSS class(es) for Bootstrap 3.x.
- the second item represents the CSS class(es) for Bootstrap 4.x
- the third item represents the CSS class(es) for Bootstrap 5.x (if it does not exist will use bootstrap 4.x setting)

$bsVersion


    public
        int|string
    $bsVersion

the bootstrap library version that you wish to use for this specific extension / widget.

To use with bootstrap 3 - you can set this to any string starting with 3 (e.g. 3 or 3.3.7 or 3.x)
To use with bootstrap 4 - you can set this to any string starting with 4 (e.g. 4 or 4.6.0 or 4.x)
To use with bootstrap 5 - you can set this to any string starting with 5 (e.g. 5 or 5.1.0 or 5.x)

This property can be set up globally in Yii application params in your Yii2 application config file.

For example:

'params' = [
    'bsVersion' => '5.x' // will enable Bootstrap 5.x globally
]

Note that if this property is set as part of this extension class, then the extension setting will override the Yii::$app->params['bsVersion']. This property will default to 3.x (Bootstrap 3.x version) if it is not set anywhere (extension or module or Yii params).

$disabled


    public
        bool|Closure
    $disabled
     = false

whether all inputs in form are to be disabled. For advanced configuration (e.g. dynamically setting different flags for different fields), this can be setup as a Closure callback. When setup as a Closure callback, you can receive the model instance and the active field object instance as parameters. For example:

'disabled' => function ($model, $field) {
    return in_array($field->attribute, $model->disabledAttributes());
}

$enableAjaxValidation


    public

$enableClientScript


    public
        bool
    $enableClientScript
     = true

whether to hook up yii.activeForm JavaScript plugin. This property must be set true if you want to support client validation and/or AJAX validation, or if you want to take advantage of the yii.activeForm plugin. When this is false, the form will not generate any JavaScript.

$enableClientValidation


    public
        bool
    $enableClientValidation
     = true

whether to enable client-side data validation. If [[ActiveField::enableClientValidation]] is set, its value will take precedence for that input field.

$encodeErrorSummary


    public
        bool
    $encodeErrorSummary
     = true

whether to perform encoding on the error summary.

$errorCssClass


    public
        string
    $errorCssClass
     = 'has-error'

the CSS class that is added to a field container when the associated attribute has validation error.

$errorSummaryCssClass


    public
        string
    $errorSummaryCssClass
     = 'error-summary'

the default CSS class for the error summary container.

$fieldClass


    public
        string
    $fieldClass
     = 'kartik\form\ActiveField'

the default field class name when calling [[field()]] to create a new field.

$fieldConfig


    public
        array<string|int, mixed>|Closure
    $fieldConfig
     = []

the default configuration used by [[field()]] when creating a new field object. This can be either a configuration array or an anonymous function returning a configuration array. If the latter, the signature should be as follows:

function ($model, $attribute)

The value of this property will be merged recursively with the $options parameter passed to [[field()]].

$formConfig


    public
        array<string|int, mixed>
    $formConfig
     = []

the configuration for the form. Takes in the following properties

labelSpan: integer, the bootstrap grid column width (usually between 1 to 12)
deviceSize: string, one of the bootstrap sizes (refer the ActiveForm::SIZE constants)
showLabels: boolean|string, whether to show labels (true), hide labels (false), or display only for [[SCREEN_READER]]. This is mainly useful for inline forms.
showErrors: boolean, whether to show errors (true) or hide errors (false). This is mainly useful for inline forms.
showHints: boolean, whether to show hints (true) or hide errors (false). Defaults to true. The hint will be rendered only if a valid hint has been set through the hint() method.

Defaults to,

[
    'labelSpan' => 2,
    'deviceSize' => ActiveForm::SIZE_MEDIUM,
    'showLabels' => true,
    'showErrors' => true,
    'showHints' => true
],

$fullSpan


    public
        int
    $fullSpan
     = self::FULL_SPAN

the bootstrap grid width. Defaults to [[FULL_SPAN]].

$id


    public
        string|null
    $id

ID of the widget. Note that the type of this property differs in getter and setter. See [[getId()]] and [[setId()]] for details.

$inlineFormCssClass


    public
        array<string|int, mixed>|string
    $inlineFormCssClass

CSS classes that will be appended for inline form. Defaults to ['row', 'row-cols-lg-auto', 'g-3', 'align-items-center'] for Bootstrap 5.x and empty string for others.

$method


    public
        string
    $method
     = 'post'

the form submission method. This should be either post or get. Defaults to post.

When you set this to get you may see the url parameters repeated on each request. This is because the default value of [[action]] is set to be the current request url and each submit will add new parameters instead of replacing existing ones. You may set [[action]] explicitly to avoid this:

$form = ActiveForm::begin([
    'method' => 'get',
    'action' => ['controller/action'],
]);

$options


    public
        array<string|int, mixed>
    $options

HTML attributes for the form tag. Defaults to:

['role' => 'form']

$readonly


    public
        bool|Closure
    $readonly
     = false

whether all inputs in form are to be readonly. For advanced configuration (e.g. dynamically setting different flags for different fields), this can be setup as a Closure callback. When setup as a Closure callback, you can receive the model instance and the active field object instance as parameters. For example:

'readonly' => function ($model, $field) {
    return in_array($field->attribute, $model->readonlyAttributes());
}

$requiredCssClass


    public
        string
    $requiredCssClass

        bool|Closure
    $staticOnly
     = false

whether all inputs in form are to be rendered as bootstrap 5 static text inputs. For advanced configuration (e.g. dynamically setting different flags for different fields), this can be setup as a Closure callback. When setup as a Closure callback, you can receive the model instance and the active field object instance as parameters. For example:

'staticOnly' => function ($model, $field) {
    return in_array($field->attribute, $model->staticOnlyAttributes());
}

$successCssClass


    public
        string

    public
        bool
    $validateOnChange
     = true

whether to perform validation when the value of an input field is changed. If [[ActiveField::validateOnChange]] is set, its value will take precedence for that input field.

When overriding this method, make sure you call the parent implementation like the following:

public function beforeRun()
{
    if (!parent::beforeRun()) {
        return false;
    }

    // your custom code here

$config : array<string|int, mixed> = []: name-value pairs that will be used to initialize the object properties

Return values

static —

the newly created widget instance

beginField()

behaviors()

Returns a list of behaviors that this component should behave as.


    public
                    behaviors() : array<string|int, mixed>

Child classes may override this method to specify the behaviors they want to behave as.

The return value of this method should be an array of behavior objects or configurations indexed by behavior names. A behavior configuration can be either a string specifying the behavior class or an array of the following structure:

'behaviorName' => [
    'class' => 'BehaviorClass',
    'property1' => 'value1',
    'property2' => 'value2',
]

Note that a behavior class must extend from [[Behavior]]. Behaviors can be attached using a name or anonymously. When a name is used as the array key, using this name, the behavior can later be retrieved using [[getBehavior()]] or be detached using [[detachBehavior()]]. Anonymous behaviors can not be retrieved or detached.

Behaviors declared in this method will be attached to the component automatically (on demand).

Parameters

$file : string: the view file to be rendered. This can be either a file path or a path alias.
$params : array<string|int, mixed> = []: the parameters (name-value pairs) that should be made available in the view.

Return values

string —

the rendering result.

run()

    public
                    run() : string|void

This registers the necessary JavaScript code and renders the form open and close tags.

Return values

string|void —

the rendering result may be directly "echoed" or returned as a string

setId()

Sets the ID of the widget.


    public
                    setId(string $value) : mixed

Parameters

$value : string: id of the widget.

setView()

Sets the view object to be used by this widget.


    public
                    setView(View $view) : mixed

Parameters

$view : View: the view object that can be used to render views or view files.

trigger()

Triggers an event.


    public
                    trigger(string $name[, Event|null $event = null ]) : mixed

This method represents the happening of an event. It invokes all attached handlers for the event including class-level handlers.

Parameters

$name : string: the event name
$event : Event|null = null: the event instance. If not set, a default [[Event]] object will be created.

validate()

Validates one or several models and returns an error message array indexed by the attribute IDs.


    public
            static        validate(Model $model[, mixed $attributes = null ]) : array<string|int, mixed>

This is a helper method that simplifies the way of writing AJAX validation code.

For example, you may use the following code in a controller action to respond to an AJAX validation request:

$model = new Post;
$model->load(Yii::$app->request->post());
if (Yii::$app->request->isAjax) {
    Yii::$app->response->format = Response::FORMAT_JSON;
    return ActiveForm::validate($model);
}
// ... respond to non-AJAX request ...

To validate multiple models, simply pass each model as a parameter to this method, like the following:

ActiveForm::validate($model1, $model2, ...);

Parameters

$model : Model: the model to be validated.
$attributes : mixed = null: list of attributes that should be validated. If this parameter is empty, it means any attribute listed in the applicable validation rules should be validated.

When this method is used to validate multiple models, this parameter will be interpreted as a model.

Return values

array<string|int, mixed> —

the error message array indexed by the attribute IDs.

validateMultiple()

Validates an array of model instances and returns an error message array indexed by the attribute IDs.


    public
            static        validateMultiple(array<string|int, mixed> $models[, mixed $attributes = null ]) : array<string|int, mixed>

This is a helper method that simplifies the way of writing AJAX validation code for tabular input.

For example, you may use the following code in a controller action to respond to an AJAX validation request:

// ... load $models ...
if (Yii::$app->request->isAjax) {
    Yii::$app->response->format = Response::FORMAT_JSON;
    return ActiveForm::validateMultiple($models);
}
// ... respond to non-AJAX request ...

Parameters

$models : array<string|int, mixed>: an array of models to be validated.
$attributes : mixed = null: list of attributes that should be validated. If this parameter is empty, it means any attribute listed in the applicable validation rules should be validated.

Return values

array<string|int, mixed> —

the error message array indexed by the attribute IDs.

widget()

Creates a widget instance and runs it.


    public
            static        widget([array<string|int, mixed> $config = [] ]) : string

The widget rendering result is returned by this method.

Parameters

$config : array<string|int, mixed> = []: name-value pairs that will be used to initialize the object properties

Return values

string —

the rendering result of the widget.

configureBsVersion()

Configures the bootstrap version settings


    protected
                    configureBsVersion() : int

Return values

string

getClientOptions()

Returns the options for the form JS widget.


    protected
                    getClientOptions() : array<string|int, mixed>

initBsVersion()

Initializes bootstrap versions for the widgets and asset bundles.


    protected
                    initBsVersion() : mixed

Sets the [[_bsVer]] flag by parsing [[bsVersion]].

initForm()

    protected
                    initForm() : mixed

isSameVersion()

Compares two versions and checks if they are of the same major BS version.


    protected
            static        isSameVersion(int|string $ver1, int|string $ver2) : bool

Parameters

$ver1 : int|string: first version
$ver2 : int|string: second version
