How to get response as json format(application/json) in yii?
Create this function in your (base) Controller:
/**
* Return data to browser as JSON and end application.
* @param array $data
*/
protected function renderJSON($data)
{
header('Content-type: application/json');
echo CJSON::encode($data);
foreach (Yii::app()->log->routes as $route) {
if($route instanceof CWebLogRoute) {
$route->enabled = false; // disable any weblogroutes
}
}
Yii::app()->end();
}
Then simply call at the end of your action:
$this->renderJSON($yourData);
Yii 2 has this functionality built-in, use the following code at the end of your controller action:
Yii::$app->response->format = \yii\web\Response::FORMAT_JSON;
return $data;
$this->layout=false;
header('Content-type: application/json');
echo CJavaScript::jsonEncode($arr);
Yii::app()->end();
For Yii2 inside a controller:
public function actionSomeAjax() {
$returnData = ['someData' => 'I am data', 'someAnotherData' => 'I am another data'];
$response = Yii::$app->response;
$response->format = \yii\web\Response::FORMAT_JSON;
$response->data = $returnData;
return $response;
}
$this->layout=false;
header('Content-type: application/json');
echo json_encode($arr);
Yii::app()->end();
class JsonController extends CController {
protected $jsonData;
protected function beforeAction($action) {
ob_clean(); // clear output buffer to avoid rendering anything else
header('Content-type: application/json'); // set content type header as json
return parent::beforeAction($action);
}
protected function afterAction($action) {
parent::afterAction($action);
exit(json_encode($this->jsonData)); // exit with rendering json data
}
}
class ApiController extends JsonController {
public function actionIndex() {
$this->jsonData = array('test');
}
}
