如何在Yii2中进行多对多基本CRUD操作？

Question

Hello to everyone out there I am new to Yii2. I just started learning Yii2 and got stuck in a condition where i have to use CRUD operation in case where I am having many-to-many relation in the backend. I was trying to solve it but not able to understand how I can d this. Below I am writting the strcuture of my tables and the code.

Table
1. test_role
id->first column
role_name->second column

2. test_user
id->primary column
user_name

3.user_role
id->primary key
user_id ->foreign key(primary key of test_user)
role_id ->foreign key(primary key of test_role)

And there is many-to-many relation between roles and users means to say that a user can have multiple roles and a role can be assigned to multiple users. Based on this i have created the following models.

Model 1 TestRolephp

   <?php

    namespace app\models;

      use Yii;

     /**
      * This is the model class for table "test_role".
      *
      * @property integer $id
      * @property string $role_name
      *
      * @property TestUserRole[] $testUserRoles
      */
     class TestRole extends \yii\db\ActiveRecord
    {
     /**
 * @inheritdoc
 */
public static function tableName()
{
    return 'test_role';
}

/**
 * @inheritdoc
 */
public function rules()
{
    return [
        [['role_name'], 'required'],
        [['role_name'], 'string', 'max' => 200],
    ];
}

/**
 * @inheritdoc
 */
public function attributeLabels()
{
    return [
        'id' => 'ID',
        'role_name' => 'Role Name',
    ];
}


/**
 * @return \yii\db\ActiveQuery
 */
public function getTestUserRoles()
{
    return $this->hasMany(TestUserRole::className(), ['role_id' => 'id']);
}

}

Model 2 TestUser.php

   <?php

   namespace app\models;

    use Yii;

/**
 * This is the model class for table "test_user".
 *
 * @property integer $id
 * @property string $username
 *
 * @property TestUserRole[] $testUserRoles
 */
 class TestUser extends \yii\db\ActiveRecord
 {
  /**
  * @inheritdoc
 */
public static function tableName()
{
    return 'test_user';
}

/**
 * @inheritdoc
 */
public function rules()
{
    return [
        [['username'], 'required'],
        [['username'], 'string', 'max' => 200],
    ];
}

/**
 * @inheritdoc
 */
public function attributeLabels()
{
    return [
        'id' => 'ID',
        'username' => 'Username',
    ];
}

/**
 * @return \yii\db\ActiveQuery
 */
public function getTestUserRoles()
{
    return $this->hasMany(TestUserRole::className(), ['user_id' => 'id']);
}
}

Below are the controllers Controller 1 TestUserController.php

   <?php

  namespace app\controllers;

  use Yii;
  use app\models\TestUser;
  use app\models\TestUserSearch;
  use yii\web\Controller;

public function behaviors()

    return [
        'verbs' => [
            'class' => VerbFilter::className(),
            'actions' => [
                'delete' => ['POST'],
            ],
        ],
    ];
}

/**
 * Lists all TestUser models.

 */
public function actionIndex()
{
    $searchModel = new TestUserSearch();
    $dataProvider = $searchModel->search(Yii::$app->request->queryParams);

    return $this->render('index', [
        'searchModel' => $searchModel,
        'dataProvider' => $dataProvider,
    ]);
}

/**

 * @param integer $id
 * @return mixed
 */
public function actionView($id)
{
    return $this->render('view', [
        'model' => $this->findModel($id),
    ]);
}

/**

 */
public function actionCreate()
{
    $model = new TestUser();

    if ($model->load(Yii::$app->request->post()) && $model->save()) {
        return $this->redirect(['view', 'id' => $model->id]);
    } else {
        return $this->render('create', [
            'model' => $model,
        ]);

    return $this->redirect(['index']);
}

 */
protected function findModel($id)
{
    if (($model = TestUser::findOne($id)) !== null) {
        return $model;
    } else {
        throw new NotFoundHttpException('The requested page does not exist.');
    }
}
}

Second Controller TestRoleController.php

 <?php

    namespace app\controllers;

   use Yii;
   use app\models\TestRole;
   use app\models\search\TestRoleSearch;
   use yii\web\Controller;

    return [
        'verbs' => [
            'class' => VerbFilter::className(),
            'actions' => [
                'delete' => ['POST'],
            ],
        ],
    ];
}

/**

public function actionIndex()

    $searchModel = new TestRoleSearch();
    $dataProvider = $searchModel->search(Yii::$app->request->queryParams);

    return $this->render('index', [

}

/**

    } else {
        return $this->render('create', [
            'model' => $model,
        ]);

    } else {

            'model' => $model,
        ]);
    }
}

    $this->findModel($id)->delete();

    return $this->redirect(['index']);
}

    }
}
}

Now what I want that i want to insert data into both tables. I want that at the time creating new user all the list of roles should display having checkbox infront of each role and vice-versa. Any help can help me a lot.

My view file is ->create.php

   <?php

    use yii\helpers\Html;


  /* @var $this yii\web\View */
   /* @var $model app\models\TestUser */

  $this->title = 'Create Test User';
  $this->params['breadcrumbs'][] = ['label' => 'Test Users', 'url' => ['index']];
  $this->params['breadcrumbs'][] = $this->title;
 ?>
 <div class="test-user-create">

 <h1><?= Html::encode($this->title) ?></h1>

 <?= $this->render('_form', [
    'model' => $model,
  ]) ?>

 </div>

And create action of TestUserController.php

   public function actionCreate()
{
    $user = new TestUser;
    $role = new TestRole;

    if($user->load(Yii::$app->request->post()) && $role->load(Yii::$app->request->post()) &&
    $user->validate() && $role->validate())
    {
        $user->save(false);
        $role->save(false);

        $user->link('testRoles', $role); //add row in junction table

        return $this->redirect(['index']);
    }
    return $this->render('create', compact('user', 'role'));
}

Answer 1

Add in TestRole model

public function getTestUsers(){
    return $this->hasMany(TestUser::className(), ['id' => 'user_id'])
        ->viaTable(TestUserRole::tableName(), ['role_id' => 'id']);
}

Add in TestUser model

public function getTestRoles(){
    return $this->hasMany(TestRole::className(), ['id' => 'role_id'])
        ->viaTable(TestUserRole::tableName(), ['user_id' => 'id']);
}

In controller, when save models

public function actionCreate(){

    $user = new TestUser;
    $role = new TestRole;

    if($user->load(Yii::$app->request->post()) && $role->load(Yii::$app->request->post()) &&
        $user->validate() && $role->validate()){

        $user->save(false);
        $role->save(false);

        $user->link('testRoles', $role); //add row in junction table

        return $this->redirect(['index']);
    }

    return $this->render('create', compact('user', 'role'));

}
