KoolReport and Yii2

Overview #

KoolReport works great with Yii2 Framework like any other PHP MVC Framework.

Guide #

We have created Yii2-Example Repository to demonstrate our tutorial.

Step 1: Install KoolReport #

composer require koolreport/core

Step 2: Create reports folder #

Create reports folder in the root folder to hold reports. You may find our MyReport sample report within reports folder. The MyReport contains class file MyReport.php and view file MyReport.view.php

Step 3: Create action inside controller: #

    ...
    public function actionReport()
    {
        $report = new \app\reports\MyReport;
        $report->run();
        return $this->render('report',array(
            "report"=>$report
        ));
        
    }

In the action of Yii2, we create report object, run it and then pass the report object to the view.

You may find the report.php view with following content:

<?php $report->render();?>

Step 3: Call the action from browser: #

http://localhost/yii2-example/web/index.php?r=site%2report

Result #

Happy Reporting!
