Html textbox without model in Yii2

Question

I just moved to Yii2. How to make text box like this:

<?= $form->field($model, 'xxx') ?>

but without using any model?

Answer 1

Use yii\helpers\Html and Try something like,

<?= Html::textInput('xxx', value, options[]); ?>

textInput()

Answer 2

I would add a label and the form-control Bootstrap class:

<?= Html::label('Person', 'xxx') ?>
<?= Html::textInput('xxx', value, ['class' => 'form-control']) ?>
