Yii2 how to select all articles of a specific tag?

Question

Yii

The situation is this, there is a table of articles, a table of tags and a table of links (article id, tag id).
The task is this, you need to show all articles of a particular tag (for example, all articles of the friends tag).
Action of all articles in the controller:

public function actionArticles($tag = false)
  {
      // Проверяем права доступа
        if (!Yii::$app->user->checkAccess('backend.blog.articles.view')) {
       	    throw new HttpException(403, Yii::t('app', 'У Вас нет прав для работы с данным разделом!'));
        }
        
       	$searchModel  = new BlogSearch;
        $dataProvider = $searchModel->search($_GET, $tag);
        
        return $this->render('articles', [
            'dataProvider' => $dataProvider,
            'searchModel'  => $searchModel,
        ]);
    }

search model

public function search($params, $tag = false)
  {
    $query = Blog::find()->orderBy(['report' => SORT_DESC, 'date_create' => SORT_DESC ]);
        
    $dataProvider = new ActiveDataProvider([
      'query' => $query,
      'pagination' => [
          'pageSize' => Yii::$app->getModule('blog')->recordsPerPage
      ]
    ]);
        
    if (!($this->load($params) && $this->validate())) {
      return $dataProvider;
    }

    $this->addCondition($query, 'name', true);
    $this->addCondition($query, 'comm', true);
    $this->addCondition($query, 'rating', true);
    $this->addCondition($query, 'status', true);
    $this->addCondition($query, 'report', true);
    $this->addCondition($query, 'draft', true);
        $this->addWithCondition($query, 'user', 'user', User::tableName() . '.username', true);

    return $dataProvider;
  }


    protected function addCondition($query, $attribute, $partialMatch = false) 
    { 
        $value = $this->$attribute; 
        if (trim($value) === '') { 
            return; 
        } 
        if ($partialMatch) { 
            $query->andWhere(['like', $attribute, $value]); 
        } else { 
            $query->andWhere([$attribute => $value]); 
        } 
    }

In general, what ideas will be in this situation to get all the records of the friends tag?
