yii2 how to use pjax when hyperlink is not in pjax

Question

To use pjax in yii2, just like:

 \'btn btn-lg btn-primary\']);?>
&         


        

Answer 1

PJAX has timeout option. If PJAX not obtain AJAX response during this timeout, it will perform full page reload. Use following JS snippet:

$.pjax.defaults.timeout = false;       // For JS use case yor should manual override default timeout.
$.pjax.reload({container: '#pjaxId'});

or more short snippet:

$.pjax.reload('#pjaxId', {timeout : false});

Moreover in my projects I use overrided version of Pjax:

/**
 * Custom Pjax with incremented timeout.
 * JS for Pjax updating:
 *  
 *      $.pjax.defaults.timeout = false;             // For JS use case yor should manual override default timeout.
 *      $.pjax.reload({container: '#pjaxId'});
 *
 *      // OR
 *      $.pjax.reload('#pjaxId', {timeout : false});
 *
 *      // OR for gridview with search filters
 *      $('.grid-view').yiiGridView('applyFilter'); // Thats true only if you have search Filters
 *  
 *
 * Note: In more cases ID of widget should be static, because widgetId is autoincremented and browser version of page may be not up-to-date.

class Pjax extends \yii\widgets\Pjax
{
    /**
     * @var int Timeout {@link \yii\widgets\Pjax::$timeout}.
     *          For JS use case yor should manual override defaults (  $.pjax.defaults.timeout = false;  ).
     */
    public $timeout = 30000;
}
