Here is a full Yii2 widget that encapsulates the functionality of copy, regenerate, and edit controls similar to ChatGPT’s UI. This widget allows you to integrate it anywhere in your Yii2 app.
Step 1: Create the Widget Class
Create a new file at widgets/ChatResponseWidget.php
:
Step 2: Create a Yii2 Controller for Generating Responses
Create a new file at controllers/ChatController.php
:
Step 3: Use the Widget in Your View
In your views/site/index.php
or any other view file, include:
How It Works
- Copy Button: Copies the response text to the clipboard.
- Regenerate Button: Fetches a new response from the Yii2 backend (
ChatController::actionGenerate()
). - Edit Button: Allows inline editing of the generated response.
Now, your Yii2 app has a ChatGPT-style response box with a reusable widget!
