Yii2 dropDownList mark option selected
drop-down-menu, selected, yii2
Solution
Just a note for future visitors:
If you are using `ActiveForm` then value of your model field will be used as the selected value but if you are not using `ActiveForm` and generating dropdown list with `Html` helper then `dropDownList` function accepts another parameter `selection` as well, in which you can pass the value that you want to make selected, as mentioned in docs
Problem
Hi i'm trying to make a drop down list with selected value but there is still no progress, drop down is rendenering but always first option is selected. ``` $company_id = (int) $params['company_id']; $options = [ 'options' => [ $company_id => [ 'selected' => 'selected', 'label' => 'test' ] ] ]; echo $form->field($model, 'company_id')->dropDownList($companies_list, $options); ``` whats wrong with that code? I edited my code and i set 'label' => 'test' in my option, and this works, but selected still not Ok solution found, in framework code i found in renderSelectionOptions method : ``` $attrs = isset($options[$key]) ? $options[$key] : []; $attrs['value'] = (string) $key; $attrs['selected'] = $selection !== null && (!is_array($selection) && !strcmp($key, $selection) || is_array($selection) && in_array($key, $selection)); ``` so all what i need to do is : ``` $model->company_id = $company_id; ``` before rendering section
