For example, 'department_name' or 'DepartmentName' will generate 'Department Name'. public string generateAttributeLabel ( $name )$name string The column name return string The attribute label

formName() public method Returns the form name that this model class should use. The form name is mainly used by yii\widgets\ActiveForm to determine how to name the input fields for the attributes in a model. If the form name is "A" and an attribute name is "b", then the corresponding input name would be "A[b]". If the form name is an empty string, then the input name would be "b". The purpose of the above naming schema is that for forms which contain multiple different models, the attribut

fields() public method Returns the list of fields that should be returned by default by toArray() when no specific fields are specified. A field is a named element in the returned array by toArray(). This method should return an array of field names or field definitions. If the former, the field name will be treated as an object property name whose value will be used as the field value. If the latter, the array key should be the field name while the array value should be the corresponding f

EVENT_BEFORE_VALIDATE event of type yii\base\ModelEvent An event raised at the beginning of validate(). You may set yii\base\ModelEvent::$isValid to be false to stop the validation.

EVENT_AFTER_VALIDATE event of type yii\base\Event An event raised at the end of validate()

createValidators() public method Creates validator objects based on the validation rules specified in rules().

clearErrors() public method Removes errors for all attributes or a single attribute. public void clearErrors ( $attribute = null )$attribute string Attribute name. Use null to remove errors for all attributes.
