ActiveForm extends ActiveForm
in package

Extends the ActiveForm widget to handle various bootstrap form types.

Example(s):

// 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]
]);

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 bool $enableAjaxValidation = false

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

$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.

Tags

registerClientScript

$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.

Tags

errorSummary()

$fieldClass

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

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

Tags
inheritdoc

$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()]].

Tags
see
fieldClass

$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

$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 = ['role' => 'form']

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 = 'required'

the CSS class that is added to a field container when the associated attribute is required.

$staticOnly

public 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 $successCssClass = 'has-success'

the CSS class that is added to a field container when the associated attribute is successfully validated.

$tooltipStyleFeedback

public bool $tooltipStyleFeedback = false

whether to render tooltip styled error and success messages. Applicable only for [[bsVersion]] >= 4.

$type

begin()

Begins a widget.

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

This method creates an instance of the calling class. It will apply the configuration to the created instance. A matching [[end()]] call should be called later. As some widgets may use output buffering, the [[end()]] call should be made in the same view to avoid breaking the nesting of output buffers.

Parameters
$config : array<string|int, mixed> = []

name-value pairs that will be used to initialize the object properties

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).

Return values
array<string|int, mixed>

the behavior configurations.

ActiveForm::validate($model1, $model2, ...);
Parameters
$model : Model

the model to be validated.

$attributes : mixed = null
