README

Composite Data Provider (CDP) is a yii\data\DataProviderInterface implementation that allows you to compose and browser several standard Yii2 data providers as if they were just one.

CDP takes care of properly paginating source data providers, so you can use any combination of pagination (or no pagination) on them -- CDPs will always paginate using the composite pagination configuration (if any).

Installation

composer require flaviovs/yii2-composite-dataprovider

Usage

$cdp = new \fv\yii\data\CompositeDataProvider([
    'dataProviders' => [
	
		// A \yii\data\DataProviderInterface instance.
		$data_provider1,
		
		// Object configuration is also supported.
		[
			'class' => \yii\data\ActiveDataProvider::class,
			'query' => $my_model->find();
		],
	],
]);

CDPs also acceps a pagination property that works the same as in regular Yii2 data providers.

Additionally, you can use the addDataProvider($value) to add new data providers to a CDP.

Important

• CDPs cannot be sorted. Of course, source data providers can be sorted normally.

• Models and keys returned by CDPs come straight from the source data providers. That means that your data provider consumer (for example, GridView column configuration) must be prepared to handle models of varied type in case your source data providers return different models.
