Implementation of Awesome Bootstrap Checkbox within Yii2.

This extension overrides the ActiveField functions of checkbox, radio, checkboxList, and radioList.

Additionally, CheckboxColumn is included to implement the same awesome checkboxes in a GridView widget.

Installation ¶

Install the extension ¶

Add the following to the require section of your composer.json file.

"justinvoelker/yii2-awesomebootstrapcheckbox": "*"

You will also need some styles for the which can either be used by copying them from the included css file or by adding justinvoelker\awesomebootstrapcheckbox\Asset as a dependency in your assets\AppAsset file. See Github for a more detailed explanation.

Usage ¶

ActiveField ¶

To use awesome bootstrap checkboxes in your ActiveForm, simply specify the fieldClass property of the ActiveForm as follows:

$form = ActiveForm::begin([
    'fieldClass' => 'justinvoelker\awesomebootstrapcheckbox\ActiveField',
]);

Once the fieldClass is specified simply use checkbox, radio, checkboxList, or radioList as needed. The following are some examples of usage.

// Disabled checkbox with a customized label
$form->field($model, 'attribute')->checkbox(['label' => 'You cannot check this checkbox', 'disabled'=>true])

// Radio with the bootstrap primary color
$form->field($model, 'attribute')->radio(['divOptions' => ['class' => 'checkbox-primary']])

// List of disabled checkboxes 
$form->field($model, 'attribute')->checkboxList([1 => 'First', 2 => 'Second', 3 => 'Third'], ['itemOptions' => ['disabled' => true]])

// Inline list of enabled radio buttons with the bootstrap danger color
$form->field($model, 'attribute')->inline()->radioList([1 => 'First', 2 => 'Second', 3 => 'Third'], ['itemOptions' => ['disabled' => false, 'divOptions' => ['class' => 'radio-danger']]])

Keep in mind that at times there are essentially two labels for a given input: one for the entire field, one for that specific checkbox or radio button. Specifying a label() will set the label for the entire field, specifying the label itemOption will change the label for a single checkbox() or radio() button.

CheckboxColumn ¶

To create a php array of key=>value pairs (where key is the tag and value is the frequency of that tag), use TaggingQuery:

'columns' => [
    // ...
    [
        'class' => 'justinvoelker\awesomebootstrapcheckbox\CheckboxColumn',
        // you may configure additional properties here
    ],
]

An example of an additional property could be to limit the width of the checkbox column: 'contentOptions' => ['style' => 'width: 25px;'],
