How to set attribute labels when using dynamic model in yii2 framework?
Here is my code below:
$model = DynamicModel::validateData(compact('name','shipping'), [
[['name','shipping'], 'required'],
]);
if ($model->hasErrors()) {
// validation fails
// }
} else {
//validation true
}
As a simple way out, just set separate validation messages for needed attributes:
$model = DynamicModel::validateData(compact('name','shipping'), [
[['name'], 'required', ['message' => Yii::t('app', 'Name is required for this form.')]],
[['name'], 'required', ['message' => Yii::t('app', 'Shipping address is required for this form.')]],
]);
And use labels when outputting DynamicModel field:
echo $form->field($model, 'name')->textInput()->label(Yii::t('app', 'Name'));
echo $form->field($model, 'name')->textInput()->label(Yii::t('app', 'Shipping address'));
I like to extend the component, like this:
class DynamicModel extends \yii\base\DynamicModel {
protected $_labels;
public function setAttributeLabels($labels){
$this->_labels = $labels;
}
public function getAttributeLabel($name){
return $this->_labels[$name] ?? $name;
}
}
And, to use it:
$attributes = ['name'=>'John','email'=>'[email protected]'];
$model = new DynamicModel($attributes);
$model->setAttributeLabels(['name'=>'Name','email'=>'E-mail']);
$model->validate();
For example:
model
public function attributeLabels()
{
return [
'id' => Yii::t('app', 'ID'),
'first_name' => Yii::t('app', 'First Name'),
];
}
For more on attributeLabels() and generateAttributeLabel()
attributeLabels()is only a getter, not a setter. There was a (closed) issue on GitHub requesting such a feature; the comments suggest implementing your ownMyDynamicModelclass which allows for setting attribute labels. github.com/yiisoft/yii2/issues/6420
