How to perform Filter using Multi Select Dropdown in Yii2 GridView

Question

Here i like to explain my problem clearly,

am trying to perform multi select dropdown filter, before this multiselect filter i have a basic filter.

Am using kartik-v dropdown extension

search.php

<?php
     $status = ArrayHelper::map(Status::find()->all(),'id','status');
     echo $form->field($model, 'status')->widget(Select2::classname(), [
                            'data' => $status,
                            'language' => 'en',
                            'options' => [
                            'placeholder' => 'Select Status..',
                            'multiple' => true
                            ],
                            'pluginOptions' => [
                                'allowClear' => true
                            ],
                    ]);
?>

claimsSearch.php

$query->andFilterWhere([
            'status' => $this->status
        ]);

if i try the above code am getting error as below

update searchview:

Answer 1

Try to delete 'status' from EmployeeSearch rules. You cannot filter such field automatic way. Or you must set up custom filter value for status column, like this (you can dig into this direction):

Answer 2

You are not calling the model in that widget. You shoudl use like this:

echo $form->field($mySearchModel, 'state_10')->widget(Select2::classname(), [
    'data' => $status,
    'options' => [
        'placeholder' => 'Select Status ...',
        'multiple' => true
    ],
]);

And your select it's probably returning an array. So, your search would be something like:

$query->andFilterWhere([
    'status' => ('in', 'status', $this->status)
]);

See more examples of queries here.

If that solution don't work, i will sugest you to do a var_dump($yourModel->status) in your view, just to check what is returning.
