Data Sources and Widgets
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
One of the most powerful features of Yii is how it works with data. In Yii, you may easily output data directly in view files, which is a good approach
|
|
for the website's frontend. But when it comes to backend data components and widgets, Yii's ability to access data is a real timesaver.
|
|
|
|
Typically, you would take the following steps when working with one of these data components:
|
|
|
|
1. Configure the data provider. It may take its data from an array, an SQL command, an AR query, etc.
|
|
2. Pass the data provider to one of the widgets, such as a list view or grid view.
|
|
3. Customize the widget to reflect the presentational style that you are after.
|
|
|
|
That's it. After doing these simple steps you will have powerful interfaces, such as a full featured data grid that supports pagination, sorting, and
|
|
filtering, ideal for admin part of your project. |
