To simplify editing relations in a Yii 1 app.

Current widget

Has-many relation input based on Handsontable.

Use in a Yii 1 app as follows:

$this->widget('\neam\yii_relations_ui\widgets\HasManyHandsontableInput', [
    'model' => $model,
    'relation' => 'routes',
]);

Use any customized columns and handsontable settings:

$this->widget('\neam\yii_relations_ui\widgets\HasManyHandsontableInput', [
    'model' => $model,
    'relation' => 'routes',
    'settings' => [
        'columns' => [
            (object) ['data' => 'id'],
            (object) ['data' => 'route'],
            (object) ['data' => 'canonical', 'type' => 'checkbox', 'checkedTemplate' => 1, 'uncheckedTemplate' => 0], // example of using checkbox to save an attribute of type BOOLEAN NOT NULL
            (object) ['data' => 'route_type_id'],
            (object) ['data' => 'node_id'],
            (object) ['special' => 'delete_checkbox'], // special virtual column to mark which items should be deleted
        ]
    ]
]);

Note: This widget requires Yii <- Yii 2 bridge available at https://github.com/neam/yii-yii2-bridge
