Property Type Description
$attributeOrder the preferred order of attributes in a tag. This mainly affects the order of the attributes that are rendered by BaseHtml::renderTagAttributes.

Method Details

a() public static method

Generates a hyperlink tag.
See also: yii\helpers\Url::to()
public static a ( string $text, array | string | null $url = null, array $options = [] ) : string
$text string link body. 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 consider [[encode()]] it to prevent XSS attacks.
$url array | string | null the URL for the hyperlink tag. This parameter will be processed by [[Url::to()]] and will be used for the "href" attribute of the tag. If this parameter is null, the "href" attribute will not be generated. If you want to use an absolute url you can call [[Url::to()]] yourself, before passing the URL to this method, like this: ```php Html::a('link text', Url::to($url, true)) ```
$options array the tag options in terms of name-value pairs. These will be rendered as the attributes of the resulting tag. The values will be HTML-encoded using [[encode()]]. If a value is null, the corresponding attribute will not be rendered. See [[renderTagAttributes()]] for details on how attributes are being rendered.

Defaults to true. This option is ignored if `item` option is set. - separator: string, the HTML code that separates items. - itemOptions: array, the options for generating the checkbox tag using [[checkbox()]]. - item: callable, a callback that can be used to customize the generation of the HTML code corresponding to a single item in $items.

If you have a list of data models, you may convert them into the format described above using [[\yii\helpers\ArrayHelper::map()]]. Note, the values and labels will be automatically HTML-encoded by this method, and the blank spaces in the labels will also be HTML-encoded.
$options array the tag options in terms of name-value pairs. The following options are specially handled: - prompt: string, a prompt text to be displayed as the first option.

The array keys must be valid option values, and the array values are the extra attributes for the corresponding option tags. For example, ```php [ 'value1' => ['disabled' => true], 'value2' => ['label' => 'value 2'], ]; ``` - groups: array, the attributes for the optgroup tags. The structure of this is similar to that of 'options', except that the array keys represent the optgroup labels specified in $items. - encodeSpaces: bool, whether to encode spaces in option prompt and option value with ` ` character. Defaults to false. - encode: bool, whether to encode option prompt and option value characters. Defaults to `true`. This option is available since 2.0.3.

$options array the HTML tag attributes (HTML options) in terms of name-value pairs. These will be rendered as the attributes of the resulting tag. The values will be HTML-encoded using [[encode()]]. If a value is null, the corresponding attribute will not be rendered. For example when using `['class' => 'my-class', 'target' => '_blank', 'value' => null]` it will result in the html attributes rendered like this: `class="my-class" target="_blank"`. See [[renderTagAttributes()]] for details on how attributes are being rendered.
return string the generated HTML tag

textInput() public static method

textarea() public static method

public static textarea ( string $name, string $value = '', array $options = [] ) : string
$name string the input name
$value string the input value. Note that it will be encoded using [[encode()]].
$options array the tag options in terms of name-value pairs. These will be rendered as the attributes of the resulting tag. The values will be HTML-encoded using [[encode()]]. If a value is null, the corresponding attribute will not be rendered. See [[renderTagAttributes()]] for details on how attributes are being rendered. The following special options are recognized: - `doubleEncode`: whether to double encode HTML entities in `$value`. If `false`, HTML entities in `$value` will not be further encoded. This option is available since version 2.0.11.
return string the generated text area tag

ul() public static method

Generates an unordered list.
public static ul ( array | Traversable $items, array $options = [] ) : string
$items array | Traversable the items for generating the list. Each item generates a single list item. Note that items will be automatically HTML encoded if `$options['encode']` is not set or true.
$options array options (name => config) for the radio button list. The following options are supported: - encode: boolean, whether to HTML-encode the items. Defaults to true. This option is ignored if the `item` option is specified. - separator: string, the HTML code that separates items. Defaults to a simple newline (`"\n"`). This option is available since version 2.0.7. - itemOptions: array, the HTML attributes for the `li` tags. This option is ignored if the `item` option is specified. - item: callable, a callback that is used to generate each individual list item. The signature of this callback must be: ```php function ($item, $index) ``` where $index is the array key corresponding to `$item` in `$items`. The callback should return the whole list item tag. See [[renderTagAttributes()]] for details on how attributes are being rendered.
return string the generated unordered list. An empty list tag will be returned if `$items` is empty.
