Reset GridView filter

Question

What would be the best way to reset filter fields in GridView? It should fill in all inputs with empty values and show all rows.

Answer 1

Built-in Html helper provides resetButton() method to do that which generates the code like that:

<button type="reset"></button>

But this will only work inside the form, for example take a look at _search view generated in CRUD templates by gii.

For GridView I recommend using another solution: just create link to the same page but without filter parameters.

Example:

echo Html::a('Reset', ['index']);

Official documentation:

• yii\helpers\Html resetButton()
• yii\helpers\Html a()
