Data providers
|
|
|
|
==============

|
Data provider abstracts data set via [[yii\data\DataProviderInterface]] and handles pagination and sorting.
|
|
|
|
It can be used by [grids, lists and other data widgets](output-data-widgets.md).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In Yii there are three built-in data providers: [[yii\data\ActiveDataProvider]], [[yii\data\ArrayDataProvider]] and
|
|
|
|
[[yii\data\SqlDataProvider]].
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Active data provider
|
|
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`ActiveDataProvider` provides data by performing DB queries using [[yii\db\Query]] and [[yii\db\ActiveQuery]].
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following is an example of using it to provide ActiveRecord instances:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```php
|
|
|
|
$provider = new ActiveDataProvider([
|
|
|
|
'query' => Post::find(),
|
|
|
|
'pagination' => [
|
|
|
|
'pageSize' => 20,
|
|
|
|
],
|
|
|
|
]);
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
// get the posts in the current page
|
|
|
|
$posts = $provider->getModels();
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
And the following example shows how to use ActiveDataProvider without ActiveRecord:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```php
|
|
|
|
$query = new Query();
|
|
|
|
$provider = new ActiveDataProvider([
|
|
|
|
'query' => $query->from('post'),
|
|
|
|
'sort' => [
|
|
|
|
// Set the default sort by name ASC and created_at DESC.
|
|
|
|
'defaultOrder' => [
|
|
|
|
'name' => SORT_ASC,
|
|
|
|
'created_at' => SORT_DESC
|
|
|
|
]
|
|
|
|
],
|
|
|
|
'pagination' => [
|
|
|
|
'pageSize' => 20,
|
|
|
|
],
|
|
|
|
]);
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
// get the posts in the current page
|
|
|
|
$posts = $provider->getModels();
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Array data provider
|
|
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
ArrayDataProvider implements a data provider based on a data array.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The [[yii\data\ArrayDataProvider::$allModels]] property contains all data models that may be sorted and/or paginated.
|
|
|
|
ArrayDataProvider will provide the data after sorting and/or pagination.
|
|
|
|
You may configure the [[yii\data\ArrayDataProvider::$sort]] and [[yii\data\ArrayDataProvider::$pagination]] properties to
|
|
|
|
customize the sorting and pagination behaviors.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Elements in the [[yii\data\ArrayDataProvider::$allModels]] array may be either objects (e.g. model objects)
|
|
|
|
or associative arrays (e.g. query results of DAO).
|
|
|
|
Make sure to set the [[yii\data\ArrayDataProvider::$key]] property to the name of the field that uniquely
|
|
|
|
identifies a data record or false if you do not have such a field.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Compared to `ActiveDataProvider`, `ArrayDataProvider` could be less efficient
|
|
|
|
because it needs to have [[yii\data\ArrayDataProvider::$allModels]] ready.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
ArrayDataProvider may be used in the following way:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```php
|
|
|
|
$query = new Query();
|
|
|
|
$provider = new ArrayDataProvider([
|
|
|
|
'allModels' => $query->from('post')->all(),
|
|
|
|
'sort' => [
|
|
|
|
'attributes' => ['id', 'username', 'email'],
|
|
|
|
],
|
|
|
|
'pagination' => [
|
|
|
|
'pageSize' => 10,
|
|
|
|
],
|
|
|
|
]);
|
|
|
|
// get the posts in the current page
|
|
|
|
$posts = $provider->getModels();
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
> Note: if you want to use the sorting feature, you must configure the [[sort]] property
|
|
|
|
so that the provider knows which columns can be sorted.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
SQL data provider
|
|
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
SqlDataProvider implements a data provider based on a plain SQL statement. It provides data in terms of arrays, each
|
|
|
|
representing a row of query result.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Like other data providers, SqlDataProvider also supports sorting and pagination. It does so by modifying the given
|
|
|
|
[[yii\data\SqlDataProvider::$sql]] statement with "ORDER BY" and "LIMIT" clauses. You may configure the
|
|
|
|
[[yii\data\SqlDataProvider::$sort]] and [[yii\data\SqlDataProvider::$pagination]] properties to customize sorting
|
|
|
|
and pagination behaviors.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`SqlDataProvider` may be used in the following way:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```php
|
|
|
|
$count = Yii::$app->db->createCommand('
|
|
|
|
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM user WHERE status=:status
|
|
|
|
', [':status' => 1])->queryScalar();
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$dataProvider = new SqlDataProvider([
|
|
|
|
'sql' => 'SELECT * FROM user WHERE status=:status',
|
|
|
|
'params' => [':status' => 1],
|
|
|
|
'totalCount' => $count,
|
|
|
|
'sort' => [
|
|
|
|
'attributes' => [
|
|
|
|
'age',
|
|
|
|
'name' => [
|
|
|
|
'asc' => ['first_name' => SORT_ASC, 'last_name' => SORT_ASC],
|
|
|
|
'desc' => ['first_name' => SORT_DESC, 'last_name' => SORT_DESC],
|
|
|
|
'default' => SORT_DESC,
|
|
|
|
'label' => 'Name',
|
|
|
|
],
|
|
|
|
],
|
|
|
|
],
|
|
|
|
'pagination' => [
|
|
|
|
'pageSize' => 20,
|
|
|
|
],
|
|
|
|
]);
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
// get the user records in the current page
|
|
|
|
$models = $dataProvider->getModels();
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
> Note: if you want to use the pagination feature, you must configure the [[yii\data\SqlDataProvider::$totalCount]]
|
|
|
|
property to be the total number of rows (without pagination). And if you want to use the sorting feature,
|
|
|
|
you must configure the [[yii\data\SqlDataProvider::$sort]] property so that the provider knows which columns can
|
|
|
|
be sorted.
