Requirements ¶

• Yii 1.1 or above

Installation ¶

• Extract the release file under protected/extensions

Usage ¶

In your controller:

Yii::import('application.extensions.arrayDataProvider.*'):

class YourController extends CController {
  public function actionYourAction() {
    $dataProvider = new ArrayDataProvider($arrayData);
    $this->render('view', array('dataProvider'=>$dataProvider);
  }
}

$arrayData can be an array of associative arrays:

array(
  array('atomic_number'=>1, 'symbol'=>'H',  'name'=>'Hydrogen'),
  array('atomic_number'=>2, 'symbol'=>'He', 'name'=>'Helium'),
  array('atomic_number'=>3, 'symbol'=>'Li', 'name'=>'Lithium'),
);

The data is accessed in the view using the keys of the associative arrays as attribute names.

Note: Attribute names (keys) must be valid PHP variable names.

$arrayData can also be an associative array or a simple array:

array(
  'H' => 'Hydrogen',
  'He' => 'Helium',
  'Li' => 'Lithium',
);
// or
array(
  'Hydrogen',
  'Helium',
  'Lithium',
);

where the data is accessed using the attribute names 'key' and 'value', where for the simple array 'key' will be numeric (the array is transformed internally to an array of associative arrays).

In your view:

// For array of arrays
$this->widget('zii.widgets.grid.CGridView', array(
	'dataProvider' => $dataProvider,
	'columns' => array('atomic_number', 'symbol', 'name'),
));
// else
$this->widget('zii.widgets.grid.CGridView', array(
	'dataProvider' => $dataProvider,
	'columns' => array('key', 'value'),
));

See AdpController.php and demo.php for an example.
