How to Send Parameters from Button to Modal in Yii2

In modern web applications, interacting with users through modal dialogs is an increasingly popular approach. With frameworks like Yii2, creating dynamic and interactive experiences is simplified, allowing developers to pass parameters from buttons to modal dialogs seamlessly using Ajax functionality. In this guide, we will solve the challenge of sending a video ID from a button to a modal in Yii2 by leveraging Ajax.

The Problem: Sending Parameters

Let's start by clarifying the issue at hand. Suppose you have a button that, when clicked, should open a modal dialog and display a video based on the ID associated with that button. You have this button defined with a data-video attribute, and your goal is to send that video ID to the modal such that it can be used in a controller action.

Here’s the basic setup you might have:

The button has a data-video attribute with the value fbnSR-KBOiE. Our objective is to send this value as a parameter to the modal when it is opened.

The Solution: Using Ajax to Pass Parameters

To achieve this, we will follow several steps to set up our modal and handle the Ajax request. Here’s a structured approach:

Step 1: Create the Modal Widget

First, set up the modal using the ModalAjax widget and define how the modal should behave. Here’s how you can do it:

Step 2: Configure the Button

Next, ensure your button is configured correctly:

This button now triggers the modal with the ID showVideo and contains the data-video attribute.

Step 3: Add JavaScript for Ajax Functionality

Now, let’s write the JavaScript needed to capture the data-video value when the modal is triggered. This script fetches the video ID from the button and sends an Ajax request to the controller, which handles the youtube/index action:

Step 4: Set Up the Modal Body

Ensure your modal body is ready to receive the content fetched from the controller:

Conclusion

By following these steps, you effectively enable your Yii2 application to pass parameters from buttons to modal dialogs using Ajax. This enhances user interactivity, allowing for a responsive and satisfying user experience. If you have a specific action you want to trigger in your controller, all you need to do is retrieve the parameter (in this case, the video ID) and process it as needed.

Feel free to experiment with different parameters and use cases to broaden the capabilities of your application!
