InlineWidgetsBehavior
=====================

[](#inlinewidgetsbehavior)

Allows to render widgets in page content in Yii2 Framework based projects

- [Extension](http://www.yiiframework.com/extension/inline-widget-behavior)

Install
-------

[](#install)

Either run

```
$ php composer.phar require --prefer-dist outOFFspace/Yii2-inline-widgets-behavior "*"

```

or add

```
"outOFFspace/Yii2-inline-widgets-behavior": "*"
~~~
to the `require` section of your `composer.json file`.

Usage example
-------------

### Add a allowed widgets list into `config/main.php`:

```php
return [
    // ...
    'params' => [
         // ...
        'runtimeWidgets'=> [
            'common\widgets\LastPosts',
        ]
    ]
]
```

### Create widgets:

```php
class LastPostsWidget extends Widget
{
    public $tpl = 'default';

    public function run()
    {
        $posts = Post::find()->published()->all();
        return $this->render('LastPosts/' . $this->tpl, [
            'posts' => $posts,
        ]);
    }
}
```

### Attach the behavior to a main controller:

```php
use howard\behaviors\iwb\InlineWidgetsBehavior;

class DefaultController extends Controller
{
    public function behaviors()
    {
        return [
            'InlineWidgetsBehavior' => [
                'class'=> InlineWidgetsBehavior::className(),
                'namespace'=> 'common\components\widgets', // default namespace (optional)
                'widgets'=> \Yii::$app->params['runtimeWidgets'],
                'startBlock'=> '[*',
                'endBlock'=> '*]',
             ],
        ];
    }
}
```

### You can define a global classname suffix like 'Widget':

```php
class DefaultController extends Controller
{
    public function behaviors()
    {
        return [
            'InlineWidgetsBehavior' => [
                'class' => InlineWidgetsBehavior::className(),
                'widgets' => \Yii::$app->params['runtimeWidgets'],
                'classSuffix' => 'Widget',
             ],
        ];
    }
}
```

for using short names 'LastPosts' instead of 'LastPostsWidget' :

```php
return [
    // ...
    'params' => [
         // ...
        'runtimeWidgets' => [
            'ContactsForm',
            'Comments',
            'common\widgets\LastPosts',
        ]
    ]
}
```

For insert widgets in content you can use string of this format in your text:
~~~
[|=[;=]]
~~~

For rendering widgets in any View you must call `Controller::decodeWidgets()` method for model HTML content.

### For example:

```php

```

to have an access to the model from widgets just specify the 'model' variable in `Controller::decodeWidgets()` method:

```php

```

```
