Yii2 findBySql: How to specify $params? - yii2

Question

Yii2 provides ActiveRecord::findBySql für raw SQL queries:
public static yii\db\ActiveQuery findBySql ( $sql, $params = [] )
Since there is no hint in the documentation: How to specify $params?

Answer 1

UPDATE
The reason there isn't any docs about the params passed to the findBySql() method is because the method returns the instance of ActiveQuery and if you see the last line of this method in yii\db\ActiveRecord.php it sets the $params via $query->params($params), means the yii\db\ActiveQuery function params($params) which defines the $params as
$params list of query parameter values indexed by parameter
placeholders. For example, [':name' => 'Dan', ':age' => 31].
I guess you should try the following way if lets say you have a table with name product
+----+-----------------+------------+--------+
| id | name | is_deleted | price |
+----+-----------------+------------+--------+
| 1 | shugal | 1 | 65.00 |
| 2 | spoon | 1 | 55.00 |
| 4 | kettle | 1 | 15.00 |
| 5 | spoon | 0 | 15.00 |
| 6 | plates | 0 | 105.00 |
| 7 | dishes | 0 | 15.00 |
| 8 | forks | 0 | 15.00 |
| 10 | pressure cooker | 0 | 203.00 |
| 16 | shugal | 1 | 65.00 |
| 17 | something | 0 | 25.00 |
| 25 | multi product | 0 | 0.00 |
| 66 | pans | 0 | 15.00 |
+----+-----------------+------------+--------+
using the following code you can select all the products that are deleted using params
$q = Product::findBySql(
"SELECT * FROM product where is_deleted=:deleted",
[':deleted' => 1]
)->all();
Hope this helps
