Whether to perform validation while the user is typing in an input field. If yii\widgets\ActiveField::$validateOnType is set, its value will take precedence for that input field.
See also $validationDelay.
public boolean $validateOnType = false
$validatingCssClass public property
The CSS class that is added to a field container when the associated attribute is being validated.
public string $validatingCssClass = 'validating'
$validationDelay public property
Number of milliseconds that the validation should be delayed when the user types in the field and $validateOnType is set true
. If yii\widgets\ActiveField::$validationDelay is set, its value will take precedence for that input field.

Method Details
beginField() public method
Begins a form field.
This method will create a new form field and returns its opening tag. You should call endField() afterwards.
See also:
public string beginField ( $model, $attribute, $options = [] ) | ||
---|---|---|
$model | yii\base\Model |
The data model. |
$attribute | string |
The attribute name or expression. See yii\helpers\Html::getAttributeName() for the format about attribute expression. |
$options | array |
The additional configurations for the field object. |
return | string |
The opening tag. |
endField() public method
Ends a form field.
This method will return the closing tag of an active form field started by beginField().
public string endField ( ) | ||
---|---|---|
return | string |
The closing tag of the form field. |
throws | yii\base\InvalidCallException |
if this method is called without a prior beginField() call. |
errorSummary() public method
Generates a summary of the validation errors.
If there is no validation error, an empty error summary markup will still be generated, but it will be hidden.
See also $errorSummaryCssClass.
public string errorSummary ( $models, $options = [] ) | ||
---|---|---|
$models | yii\base\Model|yii\base\Model[] |
The model(s) associated with this form. |
$options | array |
The tag options in terms of name-value pairs. The following options are specially handled:
The rest of the options will be rendered as the attributes of the container tag. The values will be HTML-encoded using yii\helpers\Html::encode(). If a value is |
return | string |
The generated error summary. |
field() public method
Generates a form field.
A form field is associated with a model and an attribute. It contains a label, an input and an error message and use them to interact with end users to collect their inputs for the attribute.
See also $fieldConfig.
public yii\widgets\ActiveField field ( $model, $attribute, $options = [] ) | ||
---|---|---|
$model | yii\base\Model |
The data model. |
$attribute | string |
The attribute name or expression. See yii\helpers\Html::getAttributeName() for the format about attribute expression. |

This registers the necessary JavaScript code and renders the form open and close tags.
public void run ( ) | ||
---|---|---|
throws | yii\base\InvalidCallException |
if |
validate() public static method
Validates one or several models and returns an error message array indexed by the attribute IDs.
This is a helper method that simplifies the way of writing AJAX validation code.
For example, you may use the following code in a controller action to respond to an AJAX validation request:
$model = new Post; $model->load(Yii::$app->request->post()); if (Yii::$app->request->isAjax) { Yii::$app->response->format = Response::FORMAT_JSON; return ActiveForm::validate($model); } // ... respond to non-AJAX request ...
To validate multiple models, simply pass each model as a parameter to this method, like the following:
ActiveForm::validate($model1, $model2, ...);
public static array validate ( $model, $attributes = null ) | ||
---|---|---|
$model | yii\base\Model |
The model to be validated. |
$attributes | mixed |
List of attributes that should be validated. If this parameter is empty, it means any attribute listed in the applicable validation rules should be validated. When this method is used to validate multiple models, this parameter will be interpreted as a model. |
return | array |
The error message array indexed by the attribute IDs. |
validateMultiple() public static method
Validates an array of model instances and returns an error message array indexed by the attribute IDs.
This is a helper method that simplifies the way of writing AJAX validation code for tabular input.
For example, you may use the following code in a controller action to respond to an AJAX validation request:
// ... load $models ... if (Yii::$app->request->isAjax) { Yii::$app->response->format = Response::FORMAT_JSON; return ActiveForm::validateMultiple($models); } // ... respond to non-AJAX request ...
public static array validateMultiple ( $models, $attributes = null ) | ||
---|---|---|
$models | array |
An array of models to be validated. |
$attributes | mixed |
List of attributes that should be validated. If this parameter is empty, it means any attribute listed in the applicable validation rules should be validated. |
return | array |
The error message array indexed by the attribute IDs. |
