Dual Listboxt for Yii framework 2.0.

Description

softark\duallistbox\DualListbox widget is a Yii 2 wrapper for Bootstrap Dual Listbox.

It works with bootstrap 3, 4, or 5

Requirements

  • Yii Version 2.0.0 or later
  • yii2-bootstrap, yii2-bootstrap4 or yii2-bootstrap5
  • istvan-ujjmeszaros/bootstrap-duallistbox v.3.0.x or v.4.0.x

Usage

  1. Add softark/yii2-dual-listbox and istvan-ujjmeszaros/bootstrap-duallistbox in your project's composer.json, and let Composer configure your project.

    • You have to use a different version of istvan-ujjmeszaros/bootstrap-duallistbox depending on the bootstrap version.
    • For bootstrap 3, use ~3.0.0 :
        "require": {
          "php": ">=7.0.0",
          "yiisoft/yii2": "*",
          "yiisoft/yii2-bootstrap": "*",
          "istvan-ujjmeszaros/bootstrap-duallistbox": "~3.0.0",
          "softark/yii2-dual-listbox": "dev-master"
      },
      
    • For bootstrap 4 and 5, use ~4.0.0:

      "require": {
          "php": ">=7.0.0",
          "yiisoft/yii2": "*",
          "yiisoft/yii2-bootstrap4": "*", // OR
          "yiisoft/yii2-bootstrap5": "*",
          "istvan-ujjmeszaros/bootstrap-duallistbox": "~4.0.0",
          "softark/yii2-dual-listbox": "dev-master"
      },
      
  2. Use softark\duallistbox\DualListbox::widget() in place of yii\helpers\Html::listBox(), yii\helpers\Html::activeListBox(), or yii\widgets\ActiveField::listBox() in your view.

    • Replacing Html::listBox() using name and selection

      use softark\duallistbox\DualListbox;
      ...
      <?php
          $options = [
              'multiple' => true,
              'size' => 20,
          ];
          // echo Html::listBox($name, $selection, $items, $options);
          echo DualListbox::widget([
              'name' => $name,
              'selection' => $selection,
              'items' => $items,
              'options' => $options,
              'clientOptions' => [
                  'moveOnSelect' => false,
                  'selectedListLabel' => 'Selected Items',
                  'nonSelectedListLabel' => 'Available Items',
              ],
          ]);
      ?>
      
    • Replacing Html::activeListBox() using model and attribute

      use softark\duallistbox\DualListbox;
      ...
      <?php
          $options = [
              'multiple' => true,
              'size' => 20,
          ];
          // echo Html::activeListBox($model, $attribute, $items, $options);
          echo DualListbox::widget([
              'model' => $model,
              'attribute' => $attribute,
              'items' => $items,
              'options' => $options,
              'clientOptions' => [
                  'moveOnSelect' => false,
                  'selectedListLabel' => 'Selected Items',
                  'nonSelectedListLabel' => 'Available Items',
              ],
          ]);
      ?>
      
    • Replacing ActiveField::listBox() using model and attribute

      use softark\duallistbox\DualListbox;
      ...
      <?php
          $options = [
              'multiple' => true,
              'size' => 20,
          ];
          // echo $form->field($model, $attribute)->listBox($items, $options);
          echo $form->field($model, $attribute)->widget(DualListbox::className(),[
              'items' => $items,
              'options' => $options,
              'clientOptions' => [
                  'moveOnSelect' => false,
                  'selectedListLabel' => 'Selected Items',
                  'nonSelectedListLabel' => 'Available Items',
              ],
          ]);
      ?>
      
  3. Collect the user input in the server side, just as you do with a single Listbox with multiple selection. Note that the input value will be an array.

    If you find difficulty in handling the user input, please read A Sample Code which demonstrates how to use a dual listbox to the data in array format.

Properties of softark\duallistbox\DualListbox

  1. name @var string

    The input name.

  2. selection @var array

    The selected values.

  3. model @var yii\base\Model

    The model object.

  4. attribute @var string

    The attribute name.

  5. items @var array

    The option data items. The array keys are option values, and the array values are the corresponding option labels.

  6. options @var array

    The tag options for the listbox in terms of name-value pairs.

  7. clientOptions @var array

    The options for the Bootstrap Dual Listbox in terms of name-value pairs.

    See Initialzation parameters object section of the official documentation of Bootstrap Dual Listbox for details.

The first 6 properties correspond to the parameters used in Html::listBox(), Html::activeListBox() and ActiveField::listBox().

Note that you have to use either name-selection pair or model-attribute pair. The former is for replacing Html::listBox() and the latter is for Html::activeListBox() and ActiveField::listBox().
