Block on all pages of the site?

Question

Yii

There is a site on Yii2-basic, you need to get data from the database and display this data on all pages of the site (Block with a table).
What is the correct way to solve this problem using Yii2?
Would it be correct to add this block to views/layouts/main.php?

Answer 1

Receiving data from the database at the View level is not a good practice... Better implement a widget that will receive this data from the model and render the corresponding block (passing data into it). And display the widget itself in views/layouts/main.php
