#Awesome Bootstrap Checkbox for Yii2

Implementation of Awesome Bootstrap Checkbox within Yii2.

This extension overrides the ActiveField functions of checkbox, radio, checkboxList, and radioList.

Additionally, CheckboxColumn is included to implement the same awesome checkboxes in a GridView widget.

##Installation

###Install the extension

The preferred way to install this extension is through composer.

Either run

php composer.phar require --prefer-dist justinvoelker/yii2-awesomebootstrapcheckbox "*"

or add

"justinvoelker/yii2-awesomebootstrapcheckbox": "*"

to the require section of your composer.json file.

Styles

Follow one of the directions below to use the styles necessary for awesome bootstrap checkboxes

Option 1: Manually combine stylesheets

Open your the vendors\justinvoelker\yii2-awesomebootstrapcheckbox\css directory and add the appropriate styles to your own stylesheet or include them in your less/scss files.

Option 2: Include the delivered asset bundle

Add justinvoelker\awesomebootstrapcheckbox\Asset as a dependency in your assets\AppAsset file. It should look similar to the following:

public $depends = [
    'yii\web\YiiAsset',
    'yii\bootstrap\BootstrapAsset',
    'justinvoelker\awesomebootstrapcheckbox\Asset',
];

##Usage

###ActiveField

To use awesome bootstrap checkboxes in your ActiveForm, simply specify the fieldClass property of the ActiveForm as follows:

$form = ActiveForm::begin([
    'fieldClass' => 'justinvoelker\awesomebootstrapcheckbox\ActiveField',
]);

Once the fieldClass is specified simply use checkbox, radio, checkboxList, or radioList as needed. The following are some examples of usage.

// Disabled checkbox with a customized label
$form->field($model, 'attribute')->checkbox(['label' => 'You cannot check this checkbox', 'disabled'=>true])

// Radio with the bootstrap primary color
$form->field($model, 'attribute')->radio(['divOptions' => ['class' => 'checkbox-primary']])

// List of disabled checkboxes 
$form->field($model, 'attribute')->checkboxList([1 => 'First', 2 => 'Second', 3 => 'Third'], ['itemOptions' => ['disabled' => true]])

// Inline list of enabled radio buttons with the bootstrap danger color
$form->field($model, 'attribute')->inline()->radioList([1 => 'First', 2 => 'Second', 3 => 'Third'], ['itemOptions' => ['disabled' => false, 'divOptions' => ['class' => 'radio-danger']]])

Keep in mind that at times there are essentially two labels for a given input: one for the entire field, one for that specific checkbox or radio button. Specifying a label() will set the label for the entire field, specifying the label itemOption will change the label for a single checkbox() or radio() button.

###CheckboxColumn

To create a php array of key=>value pairs (where key is the tag and value is the frequency of that tag), use TaggingQuery:

'columns' => [
    // ...
    [
        'class' => 'justinvoelker\awesomebootstrapcheckbox\CheckboxColumn',
        // you may configure additional properties here
    ],
]

An example of an additional property could be to limit the width of the checkbox column: 'contentOptions' => ['style' => 'width: 25px;'],
