Yii 2: Pjax + Gridview delete does not send ajax request

Question

I am using Pjax with Gridview and I want all my action button do ajax. By default, they dont, so I googled and found way to remove data-pjax = 0. But still , there are no ajax requests, all of them are regular requests.

Lots people are having this problem and I couldnt find the solution as well.

I've followed:

• Yii2 Pjax Delete not working
• Yii2 Pjax GridView action buttons issue

My code:

<?php Pjax::begin(['id' => 'employee-timesheet-grid-id', 'timeout' => false, 'enablePushState' => false, 'clientOptions' => ['method' => 'POST']]) ?>
<?= GridView::widget([
    'dataProvider' => $dataProvider,
    'columns' => [
        ['class' => 'yii\grid\SerialColumn'],
        [
            'label' => 'Employee',
            'value' => function ($model) { 
                return $model->employeePayRate->employeeName; 
            },
        ],
        [
            'class' => 'yii\grid\ActionColumn', 
            'template' => '{view} {delete}',
            'buttons' => [
                'delete' => function ($url , $model) {
                    return Html::a('<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-trash"></span>', $url, 
                        ['data-confirm' => 'Are you sure you want to delete this item?', 'data-method' =>'POST'] );
                }
            ],
            'urlCreator' => function ($action, $model, $key, $index) {
                if ($action === 'view') {
                    $url = Url::to(['employee-time-sheet/view', 'id' => $model->id]);
                    return $url;
                } else if ($action === 'delete') {
                    $url = Url::to(['employee-time-sheet/delete', 'id' => $model->id]);
                    return $url;
                }
            }
        ],
    ],
]); ?>
<?php Pjax::end(); ?>

Have anyone found the solution for this issue yet ?

Answer 1

Try this. ( my working code )

First register following JavaScript on above Gridview views file Here i'm uses the bootbox confirm box.

$this->registerJs("

$(document).on('ready pjax:success', function () {
  $('.ajaxDelete').on('click', function (e) {
    e.preventDefault();
    var deleteUrl     = $(this).attr('delete-url');
    var pjaxContainer = $(this).attr('pjax-container');
    bootbox.confirm('Are you sure you want to change status of this item?',
            function (result) {
              if (result) {
                $.ajax({
                  url:   deleteUrl,
                  type:  'post',
                  error: function (xhr, status, error) {
                    alert('There was an error with your request.' 
                          + xhr.responseText);
                  }
                }).done(function (data) {
                  $.pjax.reload({container: '#' + $.trim(pjaxContainer)});
                });
              }
            }
    );
  });
});

");

And below code for Gridview

    <?php
\yii\widgets\Pjax::begin([
    'id' => 'pjax-list',
]); ?>
<?= GridView::widget([
    'dataProvider' => $dataProvider,
    'filterModel'  => $searchModel,
    'columns'      => [
        ['class' => 'yii\grid\SerialColumn'],
        'stu_category_name',
        [
            'class'    => 'yii\grid\ActionColumn',
            'template' => '{view} {delete}',
            'buttons'  => [
                'view'   => function ($url, $model) {
                    return ((Yii::$app->user->can("/student/stu/view"))
                        ? Html::a(
                            '<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-eye-open"></span>',
                            $url,
                            ['title' => Yii::t('app', 'View'),]
                        )
                        : '');
                },
                'delete' => function ($url, $model) {
                    return ((Yii::$app->user->can("/student/stu/delete"))
                        ? Html::a(
                            '<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-trash"></span>',
                            false,
                            [
                                'class'          => 'ajaxDelete',
                                'delete-url'     => $url,
                                'pjax-container' => 'pjax-list',
                                'title'          => Yii::t('app', 'Delete')
                            ]
                        )
                        : '');
                }
            ],
        ],
    ],
]); ?>
<?php \yii\widgets\Pjax::end(); ?>
