widget() public method

Note that the widget must have both model and attribute properties. They will be initialized with [[model]] and [[attribute]] of this field, respectively. If you want to use a widget that does not have model and attribute properties, please use ActiveField::render instead. For example to use the MaskedInput widget to get some date input, you can use the following code, assuming that $form is your ActiveForm instance: php $form->field($model, 'date')->widget(\yii\widgets\MaskedInput::className(), [ 'mask' => '99/99/9999', ]); If you set a custom id for the input element, you may need to adjust the [[$selectors]] accordingly.
public widget ( string $class, array $config = [] )
$class string the widget class name.
$config array name-value pairs that will be used to initialize the widget.
