URL in Yii2 GridView

An ajax request calls a below action whose response is JSON:
\Yii::$app->response->format = 'json';
if($userId){
$dataProvider = new ArrayDataProvider([
'allModels' => Templates::getTemplates($userId,'n'),
]);
$response = $this->renderAjax('index', ['dataProvider' => $dataProvider,]);
return ['status'=>true,'data'=>$response,'total'=>count($dataProvider)];
}
In View of this action, there is a GridView Widget:
<?= GridView::widget([
'dataProvider' => $dataProvider,
'columns' => [
'id',
[
'attribute'=> 'template_name',
'label'=>'Test Name',
'value' => function($data){
$url = Yii::$app->urlManager->createUrl('templates/get-tests')."&id=".$data->id;
return ''.Html::encode($data->template_name).'';
}
],
[
'attribute'=> 'template_date',
'label'=>'Beginning Date'
],
[
'attribute'=> 'template_expire_time',
'label'=>'End Date'
],
'user_id',
],
]); ?>
But this encodes html value of template name. For Eg: test to test
and this renders at browser:
I do not need this encoding. Please help me to solve this.

Answer 1

you should use format => raw
<?= GridView::widget([
'dataProvider' => $dataProvider,
'columns' => [
'id',
[
'attribute'=> 'template_name',
'label'=>'Test Name',
'format' => 'raw',
'value' => function($data){
$url = Yii::$app->urlManager->createUrl('templates/get-tests')."&id=".$data->id;
return ''.Html::encode($data->template_name).'';
}
],
[
'attribute'=> 'template_date',
'label'=>'Beginning Date'
],
[
'attribute'=> 'template_expire_time',
'label'=>'End Date'
],
'user_id',
],
]); ?>
