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 not set, the default DB connection will be used. 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 $key null
$query public property

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

Method Details

init() public method

Initializes the DB connection component.

This method will initialize the $db property 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'
