Search data by taking input from datepicker in yii2 - yii2

Question

In this case the sql query in the search model is -
$query = (new Query())
->select (['billdate','billno','bills_partyname','billamount'])
->from('bills')
->where(['between', 'billdate', 'from_date', 'to_date']);
I've added a daterangepicker in the index.php file. The code is -
<?= DatePicker::widget([
'name' => 'from_date',
'value' => '2014-01-01',
'type' => DatePicker::TYPE_RANGE,
'name2' => 'to_date',
'value2' => '2016-01-01',
'pluginOptions' => [
'autoclose'=>true,
'format' => 'yyyy-mm-dd'
]
]);
?>
Controller
public function actionIndex()
{
$searchModel = new PartiesSearch();
$dataProvider = $searchModel->search(Yii::$app->request->queryParams);
return $this->render('index', [
'searchModel' => $searchModel,
'dataProvider' => $dataProvider,
]);
}
/**
* Displays a single Parties model.
* #param integer $id
* #return mixed
*/
public function actionView($id)
{
return $this->render('view', [
'model' => $this->findModel($id),
]);
}
index.php looks like
<?php
use yii\helpers\Html;
use kartik\grid\GridView;
use kartik\date\DatePicker;
use kartik\daterange\DateRangePicker;
use kartik\form\ActiveForm;
//use dosamigos\datepicker\DatePicker;
use frontend\modules\districtreport\models\ExpartiesSearch;
/* #var $this yii\web\View */
/* #var $searchModel frontend\modules\districtreport\models\PartiesSearch */
/* #var $dataProvider yii\data\ActiveDataProvider */
$this->title = 'Parties';
$this->params['breadcrumbs'][] = $this->title;
?>
<div class="parties-index">
<h1><?= Html::encode($this->title) ?></h1>
<?php // echo $this->render('_search', ['model' => $searchModel]); ?>
<!-- <p>
<?= Html::a('Create Parties', ['create'], ['class' => 'btn btn-success']) ?>
</p> -->
<!-- <div class="custom-filter">
Date range:
<input name="start" />
<input name="end" />
</div> -->
<?= '<label class="control-label">Select Date Range</label>'; ?>
<?= DatePicker::widget([
'model' => $searchModel,
'attribute' => 'from_date',
'value' => '2014-01-01',
'type' => DatePicker::TYPE_RANGE,
'attribute2' => 'to_date',
'value2' => '2016-01-01',
'pluginOptions' => [
'autoclose'=>true,
'format' => 'yyyy-mm-dd'
]
]);
?>
<?= GridView::widget([
'dataProvider' => $dataProvider,
'filterModel' => $searchModel,
'export' => false,
'columns' => [
// [
// 'class' => 'kartik\grid\ExpandRowColumn',
// 'value' => function($model, $key, $index, $column){
// return GridView::ROW_COLLAPSED;
// },
// 'detail' => function($model, $key, $index, $column){
// $searchModel = new ExpartiesSearch();
// $searchModel-> parties_district = $model['district'];
// $dataProvider = $searchModel->search(Yii::$app->request->queryParams);
// return Yii::$app->controller->renderPartial('_exparties', [
// 'searchModel' => $searchModel,
// 'dataProvider' => $dataProvider,
// ]);
// },
// ],
// 'district',
// 'sell',
// 'collection',
'billdate',
'billno',
'bills_partyname',
'billamount',
],
]); ?>
</div>
This is not working. Please tell me what needs to be done.

Answer 1

Somthing like this
In View before GridView
<?php
$form = ActiveForm::begin([
'method' => 'get',
'enableClientScript' => false
]);
?>
<?= '<label class="control-label">Select Date Range</label>'; ?>
<?= DatePicker::widget([
'model' => $searchModel,
'attribute' => 'from_date',
'value' => '2014-01-01',
'type' => DatePicker::TYPE_RANGE,
'attribute2' => 'to_date',
'value2' => '2016-01-01',
'pluginOptions' => [
'autoclose'=>true,
'format' => 'yyyy-mm-dd'
]
]);
?>
<?php echo Html::submitButton('Search') ?>
<?php ActiveForm::end(); ?>
In Controller
public function actionIndex(){
$searchModel = new PartiesSearch();
$dataProvider = $searchModel->search(\Yii::$app->request->get());
return $this->render('index', compact('dataProvider', 'searchModel'));
}
In Your Search Model
class PartiesSearch extends Parties
{
public $from_date;
public $to_date;
//add rule
public function rules(){
return [
//... your rules,
[['from_date', 'to_date'], 'safe']
];
}
//... some code
public function search($params = []){
$query = (new Query())
->select (['billdate','billno','bills_partyname','billamount'])
->from('bills');
$dataProvider = new ActiveDataProvider([
'query' => $query
]);
if( !($this->load($params) && $this->validate()) ){
return $dataProvider;
}
if($this->from_date && $this->to_date)
$query->where(['between', 'billdate', $this->from_date, $this->to_date]);
return $dataProvider;
}

Answer 2

from_date is come by post/Get method Try this
$query = (new Query())->select (['billdate','billno','bills_partyname','billamount'])->from('bills')->where(['between', 'billdate', $_POST['from_date'], $_POST['to_date']]);

Answer 3

You are not using model to create date range picker so either use model or change name from
'name' => 'from_date'
to
'name' => 'PartiesSearch[from_date]'
*and similar for to_date
