Unique widget's IDs generator
=============================

[](#unique-widgets-ids-generator)

Generating unique identificator for any purposes. Typically used by Yii-widgets ("id"-attribute of HTML elements).

Standard Yii2 generator use prefix "w" and simple counter of generated IDs. It's enougth while non-AJAX requests used. But if you're want to load some page content via AJAX-request, you're can obtain HTML-elements with same IDs ("w1", for example). So, some scripts, based on element's ID, will work unexpectedly. Such behaviour may be bypassed by specifying ID manually in code. Another way is setting up Widget::$autoIdPrefix.

Installation
============

[](#installation)

--------------

[](#using-composer)

You can use the composer package manager to install. Either run:

$ php composer.phar require abolotin/yii2-unique-id

to your composer.json file

=====

[](#usage)

Using in manual mode

[](#using-in-manual-mode)

Using in automatic mode
-----------------------

[](#using-in-automatic-mode)

You're can to setup automatic generation of IDs by any \\yii\\base\\Widget based objects. Just add '\\abolotin\\yii2\\UniqueId' string to 'bootstrap' array of applications configuraion:

```
return [
   ...
   'bootstrap' => [
       '\\abolotin\\yii2\\UniqueId',
       ...
   ]
];
```

or using component's mode:

```
return [
   ...
   'components' => [
       'uniqueId' => [
           'class' => '\\abolotin\\yii2\\UniqueId',
           ...
       ],
       ...
   ],
   'bootstrap' => [
       'uniqueId',
       ...
   ]
];
```

In last case it's can be also configured.
