How to insert/edit records in Yii2 GridView, similar to ASP.Net

Question

In ASP.Net, we can make the GridView edit/update or delete a row, and insert (using footer). Can I do something similar in Yii2, instead of creating one record at a time in a new page?

Answer 1

The gridview provided by default does not allow this behavior. For this type of features you can use Extensions as Tabular From

These extension are easily configurable and free

Answer 2

In Yii2 GridView there is an action grid column as Shown:

<?= GridView::widget([
        'dataProvider' => $dataProvider,
        'filterModel' => $searchModel,
        'columns' => [
        ['class' => 'yii\grid\CheckboxColumn'],

            ['class' => 'yii\grid\SerialColumn'],

            'id',
            'name',
            'price',
            'image',
            'area',
            // 'address',

            ['class' => 'yii\grid\ActionColumn'],
        ],
    ]); ?>

Just place the last line ['class' => 'yii\grid\ActionColumn'], in your gridview.
