How to use KoolReport in Yii2?

KOOLREPORT

KoolReport is an intuitive and flexible Open Source PHP Reporting Framework for faster and easier data report delivery.

KoolReport can work with any MVC Frameworks such as Laravel, CodeIgniter or Yii2 to provide reporting capability.

GUIDE

Step 1: Install KoolReport

composer require koolreport/core

Step 2: Create reports folder

Create reports folder in the root folder to hold reports. You may find our MyReport sample report within reports folder. The MyReport contains class file MyReport.php and view file MyReport.view.php

Step 3: Create action inside controller:

    ...
    public function actionReport()
    {
        $report = new \app\reports\MyReport;
        $report->run();
        return $this->render('report',array(
            "report"=>$report
        ));
        
    }

In the action of Yii2, we create report object, run it and then pass the report object to the view.

You may find the report.php view with following content:

<?php $report->render();?>

Step 3: Call the action from browser:

http://localhost/yii2-example/web/index.php?r=site%2report

Result

Happy Reporting!
