Question

Hello everyone I am a beginner in yii2 , I have to create a form in the footer at the main.php layout section. Default does not pass the model . Could you give me an exemplary of how to pass data in the form ? Thanks so much.

Example of Controller and View.

Answer 1

For a single controller action a simpel way is use the params .

In you controller action before render your view you should add

public function actionYourAction()
{
   .....
   $this->view->params['model'] = $model;
   .....
   $this->render(...); 

}

and for accessing in layout you should retrieve using

$model = $this->params['model'];
