Yii 2.0 Getting data from model without widget - php

Question

Can anyone give me sample of how to retrieve data from model without having to use Widget ? Because need to get data per table column and put them inside my own view (not using widget)
Controller :
public function actionIndex() {
$searchModel = new B2CProductsSearch();
$dataProvider = $searchModel->search(Yii::$app->request->queryParams);
return $this->render('index', [
'searchModel' => $searchModel,
'dataProvider' => $dataProvider,
]);
}
View :
<?= GridView::widget([
'dataProvider' => $dataProvider,
'filterModel' => $searchModel,
'columns' => [
['class' => 'yii\grid\SerialColumn'],
'id',
'sku',
'name',
'short_description',
'long_description',
'thumb_img:ntext',
'large_img:ntext',
'url_content:ntext',
'contact_info',
'status',
'currency',
'price',
'dimension',
'weight',
// 'created',
// 'modified',
['class' => 'yii\grid\ActionColumn'],
],
]); ?>
The widget above iterate through the element inside the predefined gridview,
but what I want to do instead is something like :
foreach($data as $ab) {
echo $ab->id;
}

Answer 1

You can do it this way:
/* assuming $data is an ActiveDataProvider object */
$models = $data->getModels();
foreach($models as $model) { ... }

Answer 2

If you are using an ActiveDataProvider:
Controller:
public function actionMyAction()
{
$dataProvider = new ActiveDataProvider([
'query' => MyModel::find(),
]);
return $this->render('my-results-page', [
'dataProvider' => $dataProvider,
]);
}
View:
<?php
foreach ($dataProvider->models as $model){
echo $model->myProperty;
}
?>
If you are using a query, such as this:
$query = (new \yii\db\Query())
->select('this, that')
->from('over_there');
$command = $query->createCommand();
$rows = $command->queryAll();
Then you can iterate over the result like this(assuming you passed it to the view in a variable called $dataProvider):
foreach($dataProvider as $data)
{
$data['myProperty'];
}
