Yii2 RAD Tools ¶

Rapid Application Development tools to quickly build interconnected crud UI's. It uses yii2-ajaxcrud to generate the pop-up forms and optionally kartik-v/Dynagrid for the Gridview.

Installation ¶

The preferred way to install this extension is through composer.

Either run

php composer.phar require --prefer-dist drsdre/yii2-radtools "*"

or add

"drsdre/yii2-radtools": "*"

to the require section of your composer.json file.

Usage ¶

Once the extension is installed, simple extend from BaseAjaxCrudController and add settings:

class UserController extends drsdre\radtools\BaseAjaxCrudController
{
    protected $useDynagrid = true;
    protected $modelClass = 'app\models\UserForm';
    protected $searchModelClass ='app\models\search\UserSearch';
    protected $model_name = 'User';
    protected $model_field_name = 'username';

To use hierarchy links, include the HierarchyLinkTrait (it requires the controller to be extended from BaseAjaxCrudController):

class TableController extends drsdre\radtools\BaseAjaxCrudController
{   
    protected $useDynagrid = true;
    protected $modelClass = 'app\models\UserForm';
    protected $searchModelClass ='app\models\search\UserSearch';
    protected $model_name = 'User';
    protected $model_field_name = 'username';
        
   use drsdre\radtools\HierarchyLinkController;

   protected $hierarchy_links = [
    		'user_id' => [
    			'model' => 'app\models\User',
    			'linked_model' => 'user',
    			'breadcrumbs' => [
    				[
    					'label' => 'Users',
    					'url' => '/user/overview',
    				],
    				[
    					'label' => '{model_name}',
    					'name_field' => 'username',
    					'url' => '/user/view?id={id}',
    				]
    			]
    		]
    	];

TODO add explanations for the parameters.
