Usage

Usage widget in view

Widgets are primarily used in views. You can call the yii\base\Widget::widget() method to use a widget in a view. The method takes a configuration array for initializing the widget and returns the rendering result of the widget. For example, the following code inserts a redactor widget which is configured to use the Russian language, show source button and keep the input in the post_content attribute of $model.

<?php
use yii\redactor\widgets\Redactor;
?>
<?= Redactor::widget([
    'model' => $model,
    'attribute' => 'post_content',
    'clientOptions' => [
        'buttonSource' => true,
        'language' => 'ru',
    ],
]) ?>

---

Redactor can be also used with ActiveForm widget.

<?php
use yii\widgets\ActiveForm;
use yii\helpers\Html;
use yii\redactor\widgets\Redactor;
?>

<?php $form = ActiveForm::begin(['id' => 'post-form']); ?>

    <?= $form->field($model, 'title') ?>

    <?= $form->field($model, 'post_content')->widget(Redactor::className(), [
        'clientOptions' => [
            'buttonSource' => true,
            'language' => 'ru',
        ],
    ]) ?>

    <div class="form-group">
        <?= Html::submitButton('Create') ?>
    </div>

<?php ActiveForm::end(); ?>
