Global Bootstrap Version

Generally, you may also want to set a default version globally for all Krajee Extensions (instead of setting it for each widget or extension separately). In order to do this, you can setup the bsVersion property within Yii 2 application params (i.e. Yii::$app->params['bsVersion']). To set this up, add this section of code to your application params configuration file (e.g. config/params.php):

'params' => [
    'bsVersion' => '5.x', // this will set globally `bsVersion` to Bootstrap 5.x for all Krajee Extensions
    // other settings
    // 'adminEmail' => 'admin@example.com'
]

If ActiveForm::bsVersion property is set, in addition to Yii::$app->params['bsVersion'], the extension level setting (ActiveForm::bsVersion property) will override the Yii::$app->params['bsVersion']. If ActiveForm::bsVersion property is not set, and Yii::$app->params['bsVersion'] is also not set, ActiveForm::bsVersion property will default to 3.x (i.e. Bootstrap 3.x version will be assumed as default).

Yii2 Bootstrap Dependency

You need to install one of yiisoft/yii2-bootstrap or yiisoft/yii2-bootstrap4 or yiisoft/yii2-bootstrap5 extensions manually in your application to enable Bootstrap 3.x or 4.x or 5.x functionality respectively. This dependency has not been pre-built into the composer configuration for Krajee extensions, to allow better control to the developers in configuring their bootstrap library version. If bsVersion is set to 5.x and yiisoft/yii2-bootstrap5 is not installed, then an exception message will be thrown mentioning you to install the yiisoft/yii2-bootstrap5 extension. If bsVersion is set to 4.x and yiisoft/yii2-bootstrap4 is not installed, then an exception message will be thrown mentioning you to install the yiisoft/yii2-bootstrap4 extension. Similarly, if bsVersion is set to 3.x and yiisoft/yii2-bootstrap is not installed, an exception message will be thrown mentioning you to install the yiisoft/yii2-bootstrap extension.

To install yiisoft/yii2-bootstrap5, add the repo to the require section of your application's composer.json.

"yiisoft/yii2-bootstrap5": "@dev"

To install yiisoft/yii2-bootstrap4, add the repo to the require section of your application's composer.json.

"yiisoft/yii2-bootstrap4": "@dev"

To install yiisoft/yii2-bootstrap, add the repo to the require section of your application's composer.json.

"yiisoft/yii2-bootstrap": "@dev"

Override Bootstrap CSS/JS

The Krajee extension asset bundle(s) by default depend on one of the following asset bundles to load the Bootstrap CSS and JS:

• yii\bootstrap\BootstrapAsset and/or yii\bootstrap\BootstrapPluginAsset for bootstrap 3.x (bsVersion = 3 setting)

• yii\bootstrap4\BootstrapAsset and/or yii\bootstrap4\BootstrapPluginAsset for bootstrap 4.x ( bsVersion = 4 setting)

• yii\bootstrap5\BootstrapAsset and/or yii\bootstrap5\BootstrapPluginAsset for bootstrap 5.x (bsVersion = 5 setting)

This is controlled by the property bsDependencyEnabled within the asset bundle (which defaults to true). One can override this and prevent the default yii2 bootstrap assets (CSS & JS) from loading by doing one or all of the following:

• Global Override: Set Yii::$app->params['bsDependencyEnabled'] to false in your Yii 2 application config params.php. This setting will be applied for all Krajee Extension Asset Bundles that depend on Bootstrap assets.

  'params' => [
      'bsDependencyEnabled' => false, // this will not load Bootstrap CSS and JS for all Krajee extensions
      // you need to ensure you load the Bootstrap CSS/JS manually in your view layout before Krajee CSS/JS assets
      //
      // other params settings below
      // 'bsVersion' => '5.x',
      // 'adminEmail' => 'admin@example.com'
  ]
  

• Asset Bundle Specific Override: Set bsDependencyEnabled to false for the specific asset bundle within Yii2 Asset Manager component in your Yii 2 application config file.

  // ...
  'components' => [
      'assetManager' => [
          'bundles' => [
              'kartik\form\ActiveFormAsset' => [
                  'bsDependencyEnabled' => false // do not load bootstrap assets for a specific asset bundle
              ],
          ],
      ],
  ],
  

Icons for Bootstrap

Bootstrap 5.x / 4.x does not include glyphicons or any other icons framework bundled with the library. Krajee extensions therefore will use Font Awesome 5.x icons instead of glyphicons when working with Bootstrap 5.x / 4.x. You can download Font Awesome 5.x icons from the icons website. Alternatively, you can load the free version of Font Awesome from their CDN.

For Krajee extensions and demos, the Font Awesome Free version is used and loaded as the Icons Display Package on all the Yii2 demo layouts. To include font awesome assets on your page, include the following markup on the HEAD section of your view layout file, when bsVersion is set to 4.x or 5.x.

• Option 1: Font CSS version of Font Awesome:

  <!-- on your view layout file HEAD section -->
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://use.fontawesome.com/releases/v5.3.1/css/all.css">
  

• Option 2: SVG / JS version of Font Awesome (recommended for cleaner scaling vector icons and features like icon layers):

  <!-- on your view layout file HEAD section -->
  <script defer src="https://use.fontawesome.com/releases/v5.3.1/js/all.js" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>
  

  Alternatively, you can use the FontAwesomeAsset from the kartik-v/yii2-icons package to load the SVG/JS version.

  // on your view layout file
  use kartik\icons\FontAwesomeAsset;
  FontAwesomeAsset::register($this);

This will add a CSS class has-star to the label and show the required asterisk/star after the label based on CSS ::after styles. If you want any other label markup to show a required asterisk for a required model attribute field, then just add the CSS class has-star to the label/span markup element within the active field container with CSS class form-group mb-3.

NOTE: You can also alternatively add the CSS class is-required to force any label / markup to show a red asterisk/star after the content.

skipFormLayout

boolean, whether to override the form layout styles and skip field formatting as per the form layout. Defaults to false.

staticValue

string, the static value for the field to be displayed for the static input OR when the form is in staticOnly mode. This value is not HTML encoded.

template

string, the active field markup template. Inherits and overrides values from parent class. This defaults to:

{label}\n{beginWrapper}\n{input}\n{hint}\n{error}\n{endWrapper}

The following tokens are supported:

• {beginLabel}: Container begin tag for labels (to be used typically along with {labelTitle} token, when you do not wish to directly use the {label} token).

• {labelTitle}: Label content without tags (to be used typically when you do not wish to directly use the {label} token).

Renders a checkbox input. The following parameters are supported:

• options: array, the HTML attributes in terms of name-value pairs. The following options are specially handled:

  • uncheck: string, the value associated with the uncheck state of the radio button. If not set, it will take the default value 0. This method will render a hidden input so that if the checkbox is not checked and is submitted, the value of this attribute will still be submitted to the server via the hidden input. If you do not want any hidden input, you should explicitly set this option as null.

  • label: string, a label displayed next to the checkbox. It will NOT be HTML-encoded. Therefore you can pass in HTML code such as an image tag. If this is coming from end users, you should Html::encode() or encode it to prevent XSS attacks. When this option is specified, the checkbox will be enclosed by a label tag. If you do not want any label, you should explicitly set this option as null.

  • labelOptions: array, the HTML attributes for the label tag. This is only used when the label option is specified.

  The rest of the options will be rendered as the attributes of the resulting tag. The values will be HTML-encoded using Html::encode(). If a value is null, the corresponding attribute will not be rendered.

  If you set a custom id for the input element, you may need to adjust the $selectors accordingly.

• enclosedByLabel: boolean, whether to enclose the checkbox within the label. If true, the method will still use template to layout the checkbox and the error message except that the checkbox is enclosed by the label tag.

The checkbox active field includes enhancements over the yii default checkbox and handles automatic offsetting of checkbox inputs for Horizontal Forms. As an example, check the Remember Me input below.

<?php
$form = ActiveForm::begin([
    'type' => ActiveForm::TYPE_HORIZONTAL,
    'formConfig' => ['labelSpan' => 3, 'deviceSize' => ActiveForm::SIZE_SMALL]
]);
?>
<?= $form->field($model, 'username')->textInput(['id' => 'username-cbx']) ?>
<?= $form->field($model, 'password')->passwordInput(['id' => 'password-cbx']) ?>
<?= $form->field($model, 'rememberMe')->checkbox() ?>
<div class="form-group mb-3 row">
    <div class="col-sm-3"></div>
    <div class="col-sm-9">
        <?= Html::submitButton('Login', ['class' => 'btn btn-primary']) ?>
    </div>
</div>
<?php ActiveForm::end(); ?>

Renders a radio input. The following parameters are supported:

• options: array, the HTML attributes in terms of name-value pairs. The following options are specially handled:

  • uncheck: string, the value associated with the uncheck state of the radio button. If not set, it will take the default value 0. This method will render a hidden input so that if the radio button is not checked and is submitted, the value of this attribute will still be submitted to the server via the hidden input. If you do not want any hidden input, you should explicitly set this option as null.

  • label: string, a label displayed next to the radio. It will NOT be HTML-encoded. Therefore you can pass in HTML code such as an image tag. If this is coming from end users, you should Html::encode() or encode it to prevent XSS attacks. When this option is specified, the radio will be enclosed by a label tag. If you do not want any label, you should explicitly set this option as null.

  • labelOptions: array, the HTML attributes for the label tag. This is only used when the label option is specified.

  The rest of the options will be rendered as the attributes of the resulting tag. The values will be HTML-encoded using Html::encode(). If a value is null, the corresponding attribute will not be rendered.

  If you set a custom id for the input element, you may need to adjust the $selectors accordingly.

• enclosedByLabel: boolean, whether to enclose the radio within the label. If true, the method will still use template to layout the radio and the error message except that the radio is enclosed by the label tag.

The radio active field includes enhancements over the yii default radio and handles automatic offsetting of radio inputs for Horizontal Forms. As an example, check the Yes and No inputs below.
