Password

The input element with a type attribute whose value is password represents a one-line plain-text edit control for entering a password.

Basic Usage

Instantiate the Password class using Password::widget().

$password = Password::widget();

Generate field id and name

The generateField method is used to generate the field id and name for the HTML output.

Allowed arguments are:

  • modelName - The name of the model.
  • fieldName - The name of the field.
  • arrayable - Whether the field is an array. For default, it is false.
// generate field id and name
$password->generateField('model', 'field');

Setting Attributes

Use the provided methods to set specific attributes for the a element.

// setting class attribute
$password->class('container');

Or, use the attributes method to set multiple attributes at once.

$password->attributes(['class' => 'container', 'style' => 'background-color: #eee;']);

Adding value

If you want to include value in the password element, use the value method.

$password->value('MyValue');

Rendering

Generate the HTML output using the render method, for simple instantiation.

$html = $password->render();

Or, use the magic __toString method.

$html = (string) $password;

Common use cases

Below are examples of common use cases:

// adding multiple attributes
$password->class('external')->value('Myvalue');

// using data attributes
$password->dataAttributes(['analytics' => 'trackClick']);

Explore additional methods for setting various attributes such as lang, name, style, size, title, etc.

Prefix and Suffix

Use prefix and suffix methods to add text before and after the password tag, respectively.

// adding a prefix
$html = $password->value('MyValue')->prefix('MyPrefix')->render();

// adding a suffix
$html = $password->value('MyValue')->suffix('MySuffix')->render();
