ArrayDataProvider implements a data provider based on a data array.

The $allModels property contains all data models that may be sorted and/or paginated. ArrayDataProvider will provide the data after sorting and/or pagination. You may configure the \yii\data\sort and \yii\data\pagination properties to customize the sorting and pagination behaviors.

Elements in the $allModels array may be either objects (e.g. model objects) or associative arrays (e.g. query results of DAO). Make sure to set the $key property to the name of the field that uniquely identifies a data record or false if you do not have such a field.

Compared to yii\data\ActiveDataProvider, ArrayDataProvider could be less efficient because it needs to have $allModels ready.

ArrayDataProvider may be used in the following way:

$query = new Query;
$provider = new ArrayDataProvider([
    'allModels' => $query->from('post')->all(),
    'sort' => [
        'attributes' => ['id', 'username', 'email'],
    ],
    'pagination' => [
        'pageSize' => 10,
    ],
]);
// get the posts in the current page
$posts = $provider->getModels();

Note: if you want to use the sorting feature, you must configure the \yii\data\sort property so that the provider knows which columns can be sorted.

For more details and usage information on ArrayDataProvider, see the guide article on data providers.

Property Details

$allModels public property

The data that is not paginated or sorted. When pagination is enabled, this property usually contains more elements than \yii\data\models. The array elements must use zero-based integer keys.

public array $allModels null
$key public property

The column that is used as the key of the data models. This can be either a column name, or a callable that returns the key value of a given data model. If this is not set, the index of the \yii\data\models array will be used.

See also getKeys().

public string|callable $key null
$modelClass public property (available since version 2.0.9)

The name of the Model class that will be represented. This property is used to get columns' names.

public string $modelClass null
