Public Properties

Property	Type	Description
$action	array \| string	the form action URL. This parameter will be processed by [[\yii\helpers\Url::to()]].
$ajaxDataType		the type of data that you're expecting back from the server.
$ajaxParam		the name of the GET parameter indicating the validation request is an AJAX request.
$attributes		the client validation options for individual attributes. Each element of the array represents the validation options for a particular attribute.
$enableAjaxValidation		whether to enable AJAX-based data validation. If [[ActiveField::enableAjaxValidation]] is set, its value will take precedence for that input field.
$enableClientScript		whether to hook up yii.activeForm JavaScript plugin. This property must be set true if you want to support client validation and/or AJAX validation, or if you want to take advantage of the yii.activeForm plugin. When this is false, the form will not generate any JavaScript.
$enableClientValidation		whether to enable client-side data validation. If [[ActiveField::enableClientValidation]] is set, its value will take precedence for that input field.
$encodeErrorSummary		whether to perform encoding on the error summary.
$errorCssClass		the CSS class that is added to a field container when the associated attribute has validation error.
$errorSummaryCssClass		the default CSS class for the error summary container.
$fieldClass		the default field class name when calling ActiveForm::field to create a new field.
$fieldConfig		the default configuration used by ActiveForm::field when creating a new field object. This can be either a configuration array or an anonymous function returning a configuration array. If the latter, the signature should be as follows: php function ($model, $attribute) The value of this property will be merged recursively with the $options parameter passed to ActiveForm::field.
$method		the form submission method. This should be either post or get. Defaults to post. When you set this to get you may see the url parameters repeated on each request. This is because the default value of [[action]] is set to be the current request url and each submit will add new parameters instead of replacing existing ones. You may set [[action]] explicitly to avoid this: php $form = ActiveForm::begin([ 'method' => 'get', 'action' => ['controller/action'], ]);
$options		the HTML attributes (name-value pairs) for the form tag.
$requiredCssClass		the CSS class that is added to a field container when the associated attribute is required.
$scrollToError		whether to scroll to the first error after validation.
$scrollToErrorOffset		offset in pixels that should be added when scrolling to the first error.
$successCssClass		the CSS class that is added to a field container when the associated attribute is successfully validated.
$validateOnBlur		whether to perform validation when an input field loses focus. If [[ActiveField::$validateOnBlur]] is set, its value will take precedence for that input field.
$validateOnChange		whether to perform validation when the value of an input field is changed. If [[ActiveField::validateOnChange]] is set, its value will take precedence for that input field.
$validateOnSubmit		whether to perform validation when the form is submitted.
$validateOnType		whether to perform validation while the user is typing in an input field. If [[ActiveField::validateOnType]] is set, its value will take precedence for that input field.
$validatingCssClass		the CSS class that is added to a field container when the associated attribute is being validated.
$validationDelay		number of milliseconds that the validation should be delayed when the user types in the field and [[validateOnType]] is set true. If [[ActiveField::validationDelay]] is set, its value will take precedence for that input field.
$validationUrl		the URL for performing AJAX-based validation. This property will be processed by [[Url::to()]]. Please refer to [[Url::to()]] for more details on how to configure this property. If this property is not set, it will take the value of the form's action attribute.

Method Details

beginField() public method

This method will create a new form field and returns its opening tag. You should call ActiveForm::endField afterwards.

endField() public method

This method will return the closing tag of an active form field started by ActiveForm::beginField.

public endField ( ) : string
return	string	the closing tag of the form field.

errorSummary() public method

If there is no validation error, an empty error summary markup will still be generated, but it will be hidden.

field() public method

A form field is associated with a model and an attribute. It contains a label, an input and an error message and use them to interact with end users to collect their inputs for the attribute.

getClientOptions() protected method

Returns the options for the form JS widget.

protected getClientOptions ( ) : array
return	array	the options.

init() public method

This renders the form open tag.

public init ( )

run() public method

This registers the necessary JavaScript code and renders the form close tag.

public run ( )

validate() public static method

This is a helper method that simplifies the way of writing AJAX validation code. For example, you may use the following code in a controller action to respond to an AJAX validation request: php $model = new Post; $model->load(Yii::$app->request->post()); if (Yii::$app->request->isAjax) { Yii::$app->response->format = Response::FORMAT_JSON; return ActiveForm::validate($model); } ... respond to non-AJAX request ... To validate multiple models, simply pass each model as a parameter to this method, like the following: php ActiveForm::validate($model1, $model2, ...);

public static validate ( Model $model, mixed $attributes = null ) : array
$model	yii\base\Model	the model to be validated.
$attributes	mixed	list of attributes that should be validated. If this parameter is empty, it means any attribute listed in the applicable validation rules should be validated. When this method is used to validate multiple models, this parameter will be interpreted as a model.
return	array	the error message array indexed by the attribute IDs.

validateMultiple() public static method

This is a helper method that simplifies the way of writing AJAX validation code for tabular input. For example, you may use the following code in a controller action to respond to an AJAX validation request: php ... load $models ... if (Yii::$app->request->isAjax) { Yii::$app->response->format = Response::FORMAT_JSON; return ActiveForm::validateMultiple($models); } ... respond to non-AJAX request ...

public static validateMultiple ( array $models, mixed $attributes = null ) : array
$models	array	an array of models to be validated.
$attributes	mixed	list of attributes that should be validated. If this parameter is empty, it means any attribute listed in the applicable validation rules should be validated.
return	array	the error message array indexed by the attribute IDs.
