ActiveQuery represents a DB query associated with an Active Record class.
An ActiveQuery can be a normal query or be used in a relational context.
ActiveQuery instances are usually created by yii\db\ActiveRecord::find() and yii\db\ActiveRecord::findBySql(). Relational queries are created by yii\db\ActiveRecord::hasOne() and yii\db\ActiveRecord::hasMany().
Normal Query
ActiveQuery mainly provides the following methods to retrieve the query results:
- one(): returns a single record populated with the first row of data.
- all(): returns all records based on the query results.
- count(): returns the number of records.
- sum(): returns the sum over the specified column.
- average(): returns the average over the specified column.
- min(): returns the min over the specified column.
- max(): returns the max over the specified column.
- scalar(): returns the value of the first column in the first row of the query result.
- column(): returns the value of the first column in the query result.
- exists(): returns a value indicating whether the query result has data or not.
Because ActiveQuery extends from yii\db\Query, one can use query methods, such as where(), orderBy() to customize the query options.
ActiveQuery also provides the following additional query options:
- with(): list of relations that this query should be performed with.
- joinWith(): reuse a relation query definition to add a join to a query.
- indexBy(): the name of the column by which the query result should be indexed.
- asArray(): whether to return each record as an array.
These options can be configured using methods of the same name. For example:
$customers = Customer::find()->with('orders')->asArray()->all();
Relational query
In relational context ActiveQuery represents a relation between two Active Record classes.
Relational ActiveQuery instances are usually created by calling yii\db\ActiveRecord::hasOne() and yii\db\ActiveRecord::hasMany(). An Active Record class declares a relation by defining a getter method which calls one of the above methods and returns the created ActiveQuery object.
A relation is specified by $link which represents the association between columns of different tables; and the multiplicity of the relation is indicated by $multiple.
If a relation involves a junction table, it may be specified by via() or viaTable() method. These methods may only be called in a relational context. Same is true for inverseOf(), which marks a relation as inverse of another relation and onCondition() which adds a condition that is to be added to relational query join condition.

Property Details
A list of relations that this query should be joined with
The join condition to be used when this query is used in a relational context. The condition will be used in the ON part when yii\db\ActiveQuery::joinWith() is called. Otherwise, the condition will be used in the WHERE part of a query. Please refer to yii\db\Query::where() on how to specify this parameter.
See also onCondition().

The new condition and the existing one will be joined using the 'AND' operator.
See also:
public $this andOnCondition ( $condition, $params = [] ) | ||
$condition | string|array | The new ON condition. Please refer to where() on how to specify this parameter. |
$params | array | The parameters (name => value) to be bound to the query. |
return | $this | The query object itself |

throws | yii\base\InvalidConfigException |
Initializes the object.
This method is called at the end of the constructor. The default implementation will trigger an EVENT_INIT event. If you override this method, make sure you call the parent implementation at the end to ensure triggering of the event.
public void init ( ) |
Inner joins with the specified relations.
This is a shortcut method to joinWith() with the join type set as "INNER JOIN". Please refer to joinWith() for detailed usage of this method.
See also joinWith().
public $this innerJoinWith ( $with, $eagerLoading = true ) | ||
$with | string|array | The relations to be joined with. |
$eagerLoading | boolean|array | Whether to eager load the relations. Note, that this does not mean, that the relations are populated from the query result. An extra query will still be performed to bring in the related data. |
return | $this | The query object itself |
---|
Joins with the specified relations.
This method allows you to reuse existing relation definitions to perform JOIN queries. Based on the definition of the specified relation(s), the method will append one or multiple JOIN statements to the current query.
If the $eagerLoading
parameter is true, the method will also perform eager loading for the specified relations,
which is equivalent to calling with() using the specified relations.
Note that because a JOIN query will be performed, you are responsible to disambiguate column names.
This method differs from with() in that it will build up and execute a JOIN SQL statement
for the primary table. And when $eagerLoading
is true, it will call with() in addition with the specified relations.
public $this joinWith ( $with, $eagerLoading = true, $joinType = 'LEFT JOIN' ) | ||
$with | string|array | The relations to be joined. This can either be a string, representing a relation name or an array with the following semantics:
The relation name may optionally contain an alias for the relation table (e.g. Sub-relations can also be specified, see with() for the syntax. In the following you find some examples:
The alias syntax is available since version 2.0.7. |
$eagerLoading | boolean|array | Whether to eager load the relations
specified in |
$joinType | string|array | The join type of the relations specified in |
return | $this | The query object itself |
---|
Sets the ON condition for a relational query.
The condition will be used in the ON part when yii\db\ActiveQuery::joinWith() is called. Otherwise, the condition will be used in the WHERE part of a query.
Use this method to specify additional conditions when declaring a relation in the yii\db\ActiveRecord class:
public function getActiveUsers()
{
return $this->hasMany(User::className(), ['id' => 'user_id'])
->onCondition(['active' => true]);
}
Note that this condition is applied in case of a join as well as when fetching the related records. Thus only fields of the related table can be used in the condition. Trying to access fields of the primary record will cause an error in a non-join-query.
public $this onCondition ( $condition, $params = [] ) | ||
$condition | string|array | The ON condition. Please refer to yii\db\Query::where() on how to specify this parameter. |
$params | array | The parameters (name => value) to be bound to the query. |
return | $this | The query object itself |
---|
Executes query and returns a single row of result.
public yii\db\ActiveRecord|array|null one ( $db = null ) | ||
$db | yii\db\Connection|null | The DB connection used to create the DB command.
If |
return | yii\db\ActiveRecord|array|null | A single row of query result. Depending on the setting of asArray(),
the query result may be either an array or an ActiveRecord object. |
---|
Adds an additional ON condition to the existing one.
The new condition and the existing one will be joined using the 'OR' operator.
See also:
public $this orOnCondition ( $condition, $params = [] ) | ||
$condition | string|array | The new ON condition. Please refer to where() on how to specify this parameter. |
$params | array | The parameters (name => value) to be bound to the query. |
return | $this | The query object itself |
---|
Converts the raw query results into the format as specified by this query.
This method is internally used to convert the data fetched from database into the format as required by this query.
public array populate ( $rows ) | ||
$rows | array | The raw query result from database |
return | array | The converted query result |
---|
Prepares for building SQL.
This method is called by yii\db\QueryBuilder when it starts to build SQL from a query object. You may override this method to do some final preparation work when converting a query into a SQL statement.
public $this prepare ( $builder ) | ||
$builder | yii\db\QueryBuilder | |
return | $this | A prepared query instance which will be used by yii\db\QueryBuilder to build the SQL |
---|
Queries a scalar value by setting select() first.
Restores the value of select to make this query reusable.
protected boolean|string queryScalar ( $selectExpression, $db ) | ||
$selectExpression | string|yii\db\ExpressionInterface | |
$db | yii\db\Connection|null |
Specifies the junction table for a relational query.
Use this method to specify a junction table when declaring a relation in the yii\db\ActiveRecord class:
public function getItems()
{
return $this->hasMany(Item::className(), ['id' => 'item_id'])
->viaTable('order_item', ['order_id' => 'id']);
}
See also via().
public $this viaTable ( $tableName, $link, callable $callable = null ) | ||
$tableName | string | The name of the junction table. |
$link | array | The link between the junction table and the table associated with $primaryModel. The keys of the array represent the columns in the junction table, and the values represent the columns in the $primaryModel table. |
$callable | callable | A PHP callback for customizing the relation associated with the junction table.
Its signature should be |
return | $this | The query object itself |
