yii2-field-range

A Yii 2 extension that allows you to easily setup ActiveField range fields with Bootstrap 3 addons markup and more. This allows you to setup the attributes joined together like a single field with a bootstrap addon separating the two. In addition, it enables you to display the field validation error messages as one single block instead of separate validation errors for two fields.

NOTE:

The FieldRange validation routine displays only the first error encountered in validation of either of the attributes.
To understand setting up your model validation rules for the attributes when using this extension, refer this wiki

The key features supported by this widget extension are:

display the two range fields as a single grouped block using Bootstrap 3 addons
tweak yii active form validation to display validation errors as one single block instead of separate error blocks under each field. This allows you to style your field range inputs better for various form layouts. No more misalignment of adjacent fields due to yii validation error messages.
ability to use any input from yii\helpers or any widget class for rendering the from and to fields.
enhanced usage with \kartik\widgets\ActiveField that allows you to add custom addons to prepend and append to your inputs.
default support for all widgets under \kartik\widgets. Special enhanced support for \kartik\widgets\DatePicker to render date ranges.
ability to use the kartik\datecontrol\DateControl widget which in turn can use any Date or Time widgets.
