Class yii\bootstrap4\ActiveField

Inheritanceyii\bootstrap4\ActiveField » yii\widgets\ActiveField

A Bootstrap 4 enhanced version of \yii\widgets\ActiveField.

This class adds some useful features to \yii\widgets\ActiveField to render all sorts of Bootstrap 4 form fields in different form layouts:

There are also some new placeholders that you can use in the \yii\bootstrap4\template configuration:

  • {beginLabel}: the opening label tag
  • {labelTitle}: the label title for use with {beginLabel}/{endLabel}
  • {endLabel}: the closing label tag
  • {beginWrapper}: the opening wrapper tag
  • {endWrapper}: the closing wrapper tag

The wrapper tag is only used for some layouts and form elements.

Note that some elements use slightly different defaults for \yii\bootstrap4\template and other options. You may want to override those predefined templates for checkboxes, radio buttons, checkboxLists and radioLists in the \yii\widgets\ActiveForm::fieldConfig of the \yii\widgets\ActiveForm:

Example:

use yii\bootstrap4\ActiveForm;

$form = ActiveForm::begin(['layout' => 'horizontal']);

// Form field without label
echo $form->field($model, 'demo', [
    'inputOptions' => [
        'placeholder' => $model->getAttributeLabel('demo'),
    ],
])->label(false);

// Inline radio list
echo $form->field($model, 'demo')->inline()->radioList($items);

// Control sizing in horizontal mode
echo $form->field($model, 'demo', [
    'horizontalCssClasses' => [
        'wrapper' => 'col-sm-2',
    ]
]);

// With 'default' layout you would use 'template' to size a specific field:
echo $form->field($model, 'demo', [
    'template' => '{label} <div class="row"><div class="col-sm-4">{input}{error}{hint}</div></div>'
]);

// Input group
echo $form->field($model, 'demo', [
    'inputTemplate' => '<div class="input-group"><span class="input-group-addon">@</span>{input}</div>',
]);

ActiveForm::end();
