Yii2 model public attributes

Question

I have a User model with some attributes that are public and some that are db column attributes

Assume that the model have N many public attributes (Email and Surname for example) and column attributes (Salt, confirmation_token for example)

I want to loop through all attributes in a model including public attributes and db column attributes

Answer 1

Assuming your User model is an ActiveRecord you can create a function like this to retrieve the combination of the public attributes and the ones retrieved from the database.

public function getAllAttributes() {
    return array_merge(
        parent::attributes(),
        \yii\base\Model::attributes()
    );
}

Printing the values of the attributes can then be done like

$attributes = $model->getAllAttributes();
foreach ($attributes as $attribute) {
    echo $model->$attribute;
    echo "<br />";
}
