Yii2 Multiple instances of the same model
Controller:
$model = new Person(['scenario' => 'create_update']);
$dates = [
'contractDate' => new DatePart(),
'contractExpirationDate' => new DatePart()
];
if ($model->load(Yii::$app->request->post())) {
if (Model::loadMultiple($dates, Yii::$app->request->post()) && Model::validateMultiple($dates)) {
foreach ($dates as $date) {
$date->save();
}
// or
$contractDate = $dates['contractDate'];
$contractExpirationDate = $dates['contractExpirationDate'];
// ...... some logic
$model->save();
return $this->redirect(['view', 'id' => $model->id]);
}
}
else {
return $this->render('create', [
'model' => $model,
'dates' => $dates
]);
}
View Form:
<?= $form->field($dates, '[contractDate]year')->textInput() ?>
<?= $form->field($dates, '[contractDate]month')->textInput() ?>
<?= $form->field($dates, '[contractDate]day')->textInput() ?>
<?= $form->field($dates, '[contractExpirationDate]year')->textInput() ?>
<?= $form->field($dates, '[contractExpirationDate]month')->textInput() ?>
<?= $form->field($dates, '[contractExpirationDate]day')->textInput() ?>
To complement b24 answer.
// In View Form add foreach:
<?php foreach ($dates as $index => $date): ?>
<?= $form->field($date, '[contractDate]year')->textInput() ?>
<?= $form->field($date, '[contractDate]month')->textInput() ?>
<?= $form->field($date, '[contractDate]day')->textInput() ?>
<?= $form->field($date, '[contractExpirationDate]year')->textInput() ?>
<?= $form->field($date, '[contractExpirationDate]month')->textInput() ?>
<?= $form->field($date, '[contractExpirationDate]day')->textInput() ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>
// - or - add index
<?= $form->field($dates['contractDate'], '[contractDate]year')->textInput() ?>
<?= $form->field($dates['contractDate'], '[contractDate]month')->textInput() ?>
<?= $form->field($dates['contractDate'], '[contractDate]day')->textInput() ?>
<?= $form->field($dates['contractExpirationDate'], '[contractExpirationDate]year')->textInput() ?>
<?= $form->field($dates['contractExpirationDate'], '[contractExpirationDate]month')->textInput() ?>
<?= $form->field($dates['contractExpirationDate'], '[contractExpirationDate]day')->textInput() ?>
