The [[yii\grid\GridView]] widget is a powerful tool to create a data grid that provides pagination, sorting and filtering of the data out of the box. See the data grid section for more details.
DetailView displays the detail of a single data [[yii\widgets\DetailView::$model|model]].
It is best used for displaying a model in a regular format (e.g. each model attribute is displayed as a row in a table). The model can be either an instance of [[\yii\base\Model]] or an associative array.
DetailView uses the [[yii\widgets\DetailView::$attributes]] property to determines which model attributes should be displayed and how they should be formatted.
A typical usage of DetailView is as follows:
echo DetailView::widget([
'model' => $model,
'attributes' => [
'title', // title attribute (in plain text)
'description:html', // description attribute in HTML
[ // the owner name of the model
'label' => 'Owner',
'value' => $model->owner->name,
],
],
]);
