ActiveDataProvider implements a data provider based on yii\db\Query and yii\db\ActiveQuery.

ActiveDataProvider provides data by performing DB queries using $query.

The following is an example of using ActiveDataProvider to provide ActiveRecord instances:

$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:

$query = new Query();
$provider = new ActiveDataProvider([
    'query' => $query->from('post'),
    'pagination' => [
        'pageSize' => 20,
    ],
]);

// get the posts in the current page
$posts = $provider->getModels();

For more details and usage information on ActiveDataProvider, see the guide article on data providers.

Property Details

$db public property

The DB connection object or the application component ID of the DB connection. If set it overrides $query default DB connection. Starting from version 2.0.2, this can also be a configuration array for creating the object.

$key public property

The column that is used as the key of the data models. This can be either a column name, or a callable that returns the key value of a given data model.

If this is not set, the following rules will be used to determine the keys of the data models:

See also getKeys().

public string|callable|null $key null
$query public property

The query that is used to fetch data models and $totalCount if it is not explicitly set.

Method Details

__clone() public method

public void __clone ( )
init() public method

Initializes the DB connection component.

This method will initialize the $db property (when set) to make sure it refers to a valid DB connection.

public void init ( )
throws yii\base\InvalidConfigException

if $db is invalid.

prepareKeys() protected method

Prepares the keys associated with the currently available data models.

protected array prepareKeys ( $models )
$models array

The available data models

return array

The keys

prepareModels() protected method

Prepares the data models that will be made available in the current page.

protected array prepareModels ( )
return array

The available data models

prepareTotalCount() protected method

Returns a value indicating the total number of data models in this data provider.

protected integer prepareTotalCount ( )
return integer

Total number of data models in this data provider.

setSort() public method

Sets the sort definition for this data provider.

public void setSort ( $value )
$value array|yii\data\Sort|boolean

The sort definition to be used by this data provider. This can be one of the following:

  • a configuration array for creating the sort definition object. The "class" element defaults to 'yii\data\Sort'
  • an instance of yii\data\Sort or its subclass
  • false, if sorting needs to be disabled.
