Where to get example codes for widgets in the docs?

Yii 2.0 General Discussions

Hi,

I am trying to get some code examples for widgets to use in my views, right now I am on this page:

http://www.yiiframework.com/doc-2.0/yii-jui-widget.html

But cannot find anything related to an example of a full widget.

Also, just to make sure I understand the principle of a widget in Yii 2, is it always a table with rows and columns or can it be something else?

Thank you,

Ben

A widget can be everything you want. ;)

See here:

Tip:

Always have this 2 things open in your browser.

  1. The Guide (link above)

  2. The API Documentation (link you posted)

I see, I understand, he guide is really what I need to follow as a beginner, the API for now is a bit hard for me to follow but the link you gave about the guide is great and perfect for my requirements.

I am now understanding more how the docs work, a bit confusing at first I have to admit…:slight_smile:
