JUI Extension for Yii 2
This is the JQuery UI extension for [Yii framework 2.0](http://www.yiiframework.com). It encapsulates [JQuery UI widgets](http://jqueryui.com/) as Yii widgets,
and makes using JQuery UI widgets in Yii applications extremely easy.

Installation
------------
The preferred way to install this extension is through [composer](http://getcomposer.org/download/).
Either run
```
php composer.phar require --prefer-dist yiisoft/yii2-jui
```
or add
```
"yiisoft/yii2-jui": "~2.0.0"
```
to the require section of your `composer.json` file.
Usage
-----
The following
single line of code in a view file would render a [JQuery UI DatePicker](http://api.jqueryui.com/datepicker/) widget:
```php
'attributeName']) ?>
```
Configuring the Jquery UI options should be done using the clientOptions attribute:
```php
'attributeName', 'clientOptions' => ['defaultDate' => '2014-01-01']]) ?>
```
If you want to use the JUI widget in an ActiveForm, it can be done like this:
```php
field($model,'attributeName')->widget(DatePicker::className(),['clientOptions' => ['defaultDate' => '2014-01-01']]) ?>
```
