SqlDataProvider extends BaseDataProvider
in package

SqlDataProvider implements a data provider based on a plain SQL statement.

SqlDataProvider provides data in terms of arrays, each representing a row of query result.

Like other data providers, SqlDataProvider also supports sorting and pagination. It does so by modifying the given [[sql]] statement with "ORDER BY" and "LIMIT" clauses. You may configure the [[sort]] and [[pagination]] properties to customize sorting and pagination behaviors.

SqlDataProvider may be used in the following way:

$count = Yii::$app->db->createCommand('
    SELECT COUNT(*) FROM user WHERE status=:status
', [':status' => 1])->queryScalar();

$dataProvider = new SqlDataProvider([
    'sql' => 'SELECT * FROM user WHERE status=:status',
    'params' => [':status' => 1],
    'totalCount' => $count,
    'sort' => [
        'attributes' => [
            'age',
            'name' => [
                'asc' => ['first_name' => SORT_ASC, 'last_name' => SORT_ASC],
                'desc' => ['first_name' => SORT_DESC, 'last_name' => SORT_DESC],
                'default' => SORT_DESC,
                'label' => 'Name',
            ],
        ],
    ],
    'pagination' => [
        'pageSize' => 20,
    ],
]);

// get the user records in the current page
$models = $dataProvider->getModels();

Note: if you want to use the pagination feature, you must configure the [[totalCount]] property to be the total number of rows (without pagination). And if you want to use the sorting feature, you must configure the [[sort]] property so that the provider knows which columns can be sorted.

For more details and usage information on SqlDataProvider, see the guide article on data providers.

Properties

$behaviors read-only

$models

public array<string|int, mixed> $models

$pagination

public Pagination|false $pagination

$params

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

parameters (name=>value) to be bound to the SQL statement.

$sort

Methods

__call()

Calls the named method which is not a class method.

public __call(string $name, array<string|int, mixed> $params) : mixed

This method will check if any attached behavior has the named method and will execute it if available.

Do not call this method directly as it is a PHP magic method that will be implicitly called when an unknown method is being invoked.

Parameters
$name : string

the method name

$params : array<string|int, mixed>

method parameters

Tags
throws
UnknownMethodException

when calling unknown method

Return values
mixed

the method return value

__clone()

This method is called after the object is created by cloning an existing one.

public __clone() : mixed

It removes all behaviors because they are attached to the old object.

__construct()

Constructor.

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

The default implementation does two things:

  • Initializes the object with the given configuration $config.
  • Call [[init()]].

If this method is overridden in a child class, it is recommended that

  • the last parameter of the constructor is a configuration array, like $config here.
  • call the parent implementation at the end of the constructor.
Parameters
$config : array<string|int, mixed> = []

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

__get()

Returns the value of a component property.

public __get(string $name) : mixed

This method will check in the following order and act accordingly:

  • a property defined by a getter: return the getter result
  • a property of a behavior: return the behavior property value

Do not call this method directly as it is a PHP magic method that will be implicitly called when executing $value = $component->property;.

Parameters
$name : string

the property name

Tags
throws
UnknownPropertyException

if the property is not defined

throws
InvalidCallException

if the property is write-only.

see
__set()
Return values
mixed

the property value or the value of a behavior's property

__isset()

Checks if a property is set, i.e. defined and not null.

public __isset(string $name) : bool

This method will check in the following order and act accordingly:

  • a property defined by a setter: return whether the property is set
  • a property of a behavior: return whether the property is set
  • return false for non existing properties

Do not call this method directly as it is a PHP magic method that will be implicitly called when executing isset($component->property).

Parameters

see
https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.isset.php
Return values
bool

whether the named property is set

  • an event in the format of "on xyz": attach the handler to the event "xyz"
  • a behavior in the format of "as xyz": attach the behavior named as "xyz"
  • a property of a behavior: set the behavior property value

Do not call this method directly as it is a PHP magic method that will be implicitly called when executing $component->property = $value;.

Parameters
$name : string

the property name or the event name

attachBehavior()

Attaches a behavior to this component.

public attachBehavior(string $name, string|array<string|int, mixed>|Behavior $behavior) : Behavior

This method will create the behavior object based on the given configuration. After that, the behavior object will be attached to this component by calling the [[Behavior::attach()]] method.

Parameters
$name : string

the name of the behavior.

$behavior : string|array<string|int, mixed>|Behavior

the behavior configuration. This can be one of the following:

  • a [[Behavior]] object
  • a string specifying the behavior class
  • an object configuration array that will be passed to [[Yii::createObject()]] to create the behavior object.
Tags
see
detachBehavior()
Return values
Behavior

the behavior object

attachBehaviors()

Attaches a list of behaviors to the component.

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

Each behavior is indexed by its name and should be a [[Behavior]] object, a string specifying the behavior class, or an configuration array for creating the behavior.

Parameters
$behaviors : array<string|int, mixed>

list of behaviors to be attached to the component

Tags
see
attachBehavior()

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.

The event handler must be defined with the following signature,

function ($event)

where $event is an [[Event]] object which includes parameters associated with the event.

Since 2.0.14 you can specify event name as a wildcard pattern:
