Continuing to expand my knowledge of Yii2.
I had, of course, heard about custom columns in Grid, but hadn’t used them in practice. However, when code duplication reached 5 separate places, I thought — why not give it a try? And it turned out to be quite nice, convenient, and most importantly — flexible!
Below is the full code listing of a sample column class that extends DataColumn:
namespace backendgrid;
use Yii;
use yiihelpersHtml;
use yiigridDataColumn;
class ActiveColumn extends DataColumn
{
public $headerOptions = [
'style' => 'width: 80px;'
];
public $contentOptions = [
'class' => 'text-center'
];
public $attribute = 'is_active';
/**
* @inheritdoc
*/
protected function renderDataCellContent($a)
{
if($a['is_active'] == 1)
{
return Html::a('<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-ok-circle"></span>', [
'active', 'id' => $a['id'], 'is_active' => 0], [
'title' => Yii::t('app', 'Unactivate this'),
'data-pjax' => '0',
]
);
}
return Html::a('<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-lock"></span>', [
'active', 'id' => $a['id'], 'is_active' => 1], [
'title' => Yii::t('app', 'Activate this'),
'data-pjax' => '0',
]
);
}
}
