Equivalent of "Yii::app()->controller->renderPartial" in Yii2?

Question

What is the equivalent of

Yii::app()->controller->renderPartial

in Yii2 ??

Answer 1

In view files, $this refers to yii\web\View object so simply call:

$this->render('partials/_profile', ['name'=>'value']);

and it will work.

Or pass and absolute path to renderFile() to skip the call to findViewfile():

$this->renderFile(dirname(_FILE__) . '/partials/_profile.php', ['name'=>'value']);

Answer 2

in yii2

Yii::$app->controller->renderPartial('myview');
