Active Data Provider SQL Data Provider Array Data Provider Working with Data Keys Creating Custom Data Provider In the Pagination and Sorting sections, we have described how to allow end users to choose a particular page of data to display and sort them by some columns.

Actions Routes Creating Controllers Creating Actions Controller Lifecycle Best Practices Controllers are part of the MVC architecture. They are objects of classes extending from yii\base\Controller and are responsible for processing requests and generating responses.

Actions Controllers a

Creating Controller Classes Filters Extending ActiveController After creating the resource classes and specifying how resource data should be formatted, the next thing to do is to create controller actions to expose the resources to end users through RESTful APIs.
