How to apply href email link on GridView custom column?

Hi,

I have this Gridview:




    <?= GridView::widget([

        'dataProvider' => $dataProvider,

        'columns' => [

            ['class' => 'yii\grid\SerialColumn'],

            'client_firstname',

            'client_lastname',

            'client_telno',

            'client_email:email',

You will notice the client_email:email line. That displays the emails as clickable href mailto links.

Now in another view I have this Gridview:




    <?= GridView::widget([

        'dataProvider' => $dataProvider,

        'columns' => [

            ['class' => 'yii\grid\SerialColumn'],

		[

			[

			'attribute' => 'clients_id',

			'label' => 'Client Email',

			'value' =>  function($model)

				    {

				      $client = Clients::findOne($model->clients_id);

				      return $client->client_email;

				    },

			],

As you can see I am building a custom column where I show the client email from a different model class.

How do I apply the same clickable href mailto email link in a case like this?

Thanks

‘format’ => ‘email’ should do the trick

PERFECT, thank you.
