jquery - Yii2: What is the different between a HTML table and a GridView? -

i know gridview php it's executed in server side , html table executed in client side, jquery , bootstrap.

i learning yii2 , have been using gridviews. has features buttons edit, view , delete, , can sort.

now learning jquery can make html table bootstrap , results same.

i needing simple table, without features gridview has. need features: a checkbox each row, user can check rows , send php server.

so confused. option better?

yii2 gridview yii2 php widget (alias part of code ) generate automatically html table code starting configuration value pass in gridview widget call

it extremely useful if need build frequent feature representation in form of table included filtering , sorting. takes data data provider , renders each row using set of columns presenting data in form of table.

you can see result of widget looking @ code generated in html page in browser can see html source usint ctrl +u (if take deep @ resulting html code can recognize how tipical element table organized yii2. naming convention id, row , on )

html table tag container of element show data in tablutar form

so gridview widget piece of code generate hatml lable stricly integrated yii2 feature filtering , ordering ..

for static data rapresentation gridview widget enough .. interactive data once datas displayed must take @ pjax , or @ jquery manage client side result of php widget generated code ..
