Composite models (a.k.a forms) for Yii2
=======================================

[](#composite-models-aka-forms-for-yii2)

The use case
------------

[](#the-use-case)

You need form input for separate model objects in your application.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
$ composer require flaviovs/yii2-form
```

How to
------

[](#how-to)

1. Create your form model. Add composing models as normal attributes:

    ```
    class MyForm extends fv\yii\form\Model
    {
    	/** @var \app\models\Post */
    	public $post;

    	/** @var \app\models\Comment */
    	public $comment;
    }
    ```
2. Add the `modelAttributes()` function, which indicates which form attributes contain models to be loaded on submission:

    ```
    protected function modelAttributes()
    {
    	return ['post', 'comment'];
    }
    ```
3. Add validation rules for the models:

    ```
    protected function rules()
    {
        return [
            [$this->modelAttributes(), 'safe'];
        ];
    }
    ```
4. Add input controls to your views as you normally would. Just remember to reference model attributes of the form, instead of the form model itself.

    ```
    /** @var \fv\yii\form\Model $model */

    $form = ActiveForm::begin();

    echo $form->field($model->post, 'title');
    echo $form->field($model->comment, 'body');

    ActiveForm::End();
    ```
5. Process the form as you normally do:

    ```
    $model = new MyForm([
    	'post' => new Post(),
    	'comment' => new Comment(),
    ]);
    if ($model->load(\Yii::$app->request->post()) && $model->validate()) {
    	$model->post->save();
    	$model->comment->save();
    }
    ```
