How to get attribute label in Yii2 ActiveRecord

Question

How to get attribute label in Yii2?

I found this function getAttributeLabel() here in Yii2 doc, I am using it in a controller. But it's throwing an error:

Call to undefined function app\controllers\getAttributeLabel()

Answer 1

$task = new Task();

//to get single attribute label
$label = $task->getAttributeLabel('task_title');

//to get all attribute label
$labels = $task->attributeLabels();

Answer 2

try this

$model          =   new ModelName();
print_r($model->attributeLabels());

if you use the above code you can get an array containing all attribute labels of a model

Answer 3

Since Yii 2.0.13 ActiveRecord implements StaticInstanceInterface, so you can use instance() to get static instance of model. Using it should be cleaner and more efficient that manually creating instance of model to use its non-static methods.

$singleLabel = MyModel::instance()->getAttributeLabel('my_attribute');

$allLabels = MyModel::instance()->attributeLabels();
