yii2 yii.validation.js included only on default view

Hi I have another issue and I hope you can help me understand why it happens.

Anyway.

I genereate typicall CRUD via gii and when _form.php is created and displayed like this


<div class="pupil-form">


    <?php $form = ActiveForm::begin(); ?>


    <?= $form->field($model, 'name')->textInput(['maxlength' => 45]) ?>


    <div class="form-group">

        <?= Html::submitButton($model->isNewRecord ? 'Create' : 'Update', ['class' => $model->isNewRecord ? 'btn btn-success' : 'btn btn-primary']) ?>

    </div>


    <?php ActiveForm::end(); ?>


</div>

the validation script


<script src="/assets/51b9ca2f/yii.validation.js">

is included in the cenerated html

hower to have more control on form layout I use the following code


<div class="teacher-form">


    <?php $form = ActiveForm::begin([

        'id' => 'login-form',

        'options' => ['class' => 'form-horizontal'],

        'enableAjaxValidation' => true,


    ]); ?>

    <div class="form-group">

        <?= Html::activeLabel($model, 'name', ['class'=>'col-xs-1 control-label']); ?>

        <div class="col-xs-5">

            <?= Html::activeInput('text',$model,'name',['class'=>'form-control','maxlength' => 45]); ?>

            <?= Html::error($model,'name',['class'=>'help-block']); ?>

        </div>

    </div>

    <div class="form-group">

        <div class="col-xs-12 text-right">

            <?= Html::submitButton($model->isNewRecord ? 'Dodaj' : 'Zapisz', ['class' => $model->isNewRecord ? 'btn btn-success' : 'btn btn-primary']) ?>

        </div>

    </div>


    <?php ActiveForm::end(); ?>


</div>

the validation script is not included. Do you have maybe some knowledge on this?

"yii.validation.js" is added by yii\validators\ValidationAsset registered by validators when using ActiveField with $model.

The simplest way is to use ActiveForm::field:




    <?php $form = ActiveForm::begin(); ?>


    <?= $form->field($model, 'name')->textInput(['maxlength' => 45]) ?>

to asset "yii.validation.js" correctly.

My solution to customise form html is to extend ActiveForm or ActiveField and overwrite $template




class MyActiveField extends \yii\bootstrap\ActiveField {


    /**

     * @var string

     */

    public $template = "<fieldset><legend>{label}</legend>\n{input}\n{hint}\n{error}</fieldset>";


    public $myTemplate = '<div class="form-group">{label}<div class="col-xs-5">{input}{error}</div></div>';


    public function myInput($options = []) {

        $this->template = $this->myTemplate;

        return parent::textInput($options);

    }

}

then code:




    <?= $form->field($model, 'name')->myInput(['maxlength' => 45]) ?>

should do the work.

Thank you so much for the answer. I understand that I have to create a template for a field. But I really don’t imagine using it instead of form-group with f.e. two form controls. I attach a specific form.

<div class="form-group">

        <?= $form->field($model,'name')->begin(); ?>

        <?= Html::activeLabel($model,'name',['class'=>'col-xs-1 control-label']); ?>

        <div class="col-xs-5">

            <?= Html::activeInput('text',$model,'name',['class'=>'form-control','maxlength' => 45]); ?>

            <?= Html::error($model,'name',['class'=>'help-block']); ?>

        </div>

        <?= $form->field($model,'name')->end(); ?>

        <?= $form->field($model,'surname')->begin(); ?>

        <?= Html::activeLabel($model,'surname',['class'=>'col-xs-1 control-label']); ?>

        <div class="col-xs-5">

            <?= Html::activeInput('text',$model,'surname',['class'=>'form-control','maxlength' => 45]); ?>

            <?= Html::error($model,'name',['class'=>'help-block']); ?>

        </div>

        <?= $form->field($model,'surname')->end(); ?>

    </div>

Does the trick I needed with validation but the begin() method adds div wrapper with class form-group for each field and makes it 100% width and overrides my col settings. If I just could remove that class from the field wrapper …

GOT IT !!!

<?= $form->field($model,‘name’,[‘options’=>[‘class’ => ‘’]])->begin(); ?>

jus empty the default class then oepn tag :)
