Best way to get dropdown items in Yii2?

Question

Yii

There is a table with the fields `id`, `name`, `another`, `fields`....
I want to get the view array through the ActiveRecord interface:
[id => name, id => name]
I know how to get the view array:

[ id => [ name => 'value' ] , id => [ name => 'value' ]  ]

To do this, I can write
Model::find->all()->indexBy('id');
But I want the value to be a specific field and not an array key value

Answer 1

public static function getList()
    {
        return static::find()
            ->select(['name', 'id'])
            ->indexBy('id')
            ->asArray()
            ->column();
    }

asArray() - returns data as a regular array, helps to save memory and works out a little faster.
column() - returns the first column name because it will be the first select(['name', 'id'])
indexBy('id') - arranges the correct keys

Answer 2

I run it through ArrayHelper::map.
ArrayHelper::map($models, 'id', 'name') will give you what you need.
