Yii 2 – Redirect / Reload on krajee DatePicker changeDate event
2016-03-05 – 16:50During my experiments with the Yii2 framework and krajee’s DatePicker widget I wanted to implement a pretty common use-case where the current page reloads with the newly selected date from the DatePicker as a $_GET parameter. It took a few hours to find the correct variant in the bootstrap docs (my initial mistake was to search in the jquery docs). So I am rewriting it here.
This is how I did it:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 |
// My auto-reloading DatePicker
echo "<label class=\"control-label\">My Auto-Reload DatePicker</label>\n";
echo DatePicker::widget([
'name' => 'auto_reload_date_picker',
'id' => 'auto_reload_date_picker',
'type' => DatePicker::TYPE_COMPONENT_PREPEND,
'value' => Yii::$app->request->get('date'),
'pluginOptions' => [
'autoclose' => true,
'format' => 'yyyy-mm-dd',
],
'pluginEvents' => [
'changeDate' => 'function (e){
var date = $("#auto_reload_date_picker").val();
location.href = "/index.php?r=site/my-action&date="+date;
}',
]
]); |
I had some trouble finding the correct expression for the contents of “function (e) { ….}”. This works quite well, even when there’s no $_GET parameter given initially. There’s a related question on krajee’s demo page asking for almost the same.
You probably have to adjust “my-action” in the “location.href” assignment.
