Hey, everybody!
I have a lot of switches in my forms, and it’s not practical to do this in each field:
<?= $form->field($model, 'st_active', ['template'=>'{label}{input}'])->checkbox(['class'=>'input-switch-alt'], false) ?>
I’d like to do something like:
<?= $form->field($model, 'st_active')->switch() ?>
And use that template and class as default.
How do I create a custom field in Yii2?
<?php
/*
This how I would do it
1. create a directory in your app called widgets
2. under that new directory create a file name ActiveForm.php with following content
*/
namespace app\widgets;
class ActiveForm extends \yii\bootstrap\ActiveForm {
public function myCheckbox($model, $attribute)
{
return $this->field($model, $attribute, ['template'=>'{label}{input}'])->checkbox(['class'=>'input-switch-alt'], false);
}
}
// then you can use it like so
// in your form change the "use yii\bootstrap\ActiveForm" to "use app\widgets\ActiveForm"
// display the checkbox
$form->myCheckbox($model, 'my_attribute')
Thank you so much!
