Modify yii\data\Sort to work also with $_POST

[SDKiller]

Currently Sort works only with $_GET sort parameter.
Thus, for example combination of GridView and search form with method post does not work at all.

Proposed change is an attempt to make Sort accept $_POST also.

Example usage

Search model:

...
        $dataProvider = new ActiveDataProvider([
            'query' => $query,
            'sort' => [
                'defaultOrder' => [
                    'transaction_date' => SORT_DESC
                ],
                'dataMethod' => 'post',
                'formName' => $this->formName()
            ]
        ]);
...

GridView:

...
            'columns' => [
               ...
                [
                    'attribute' => 'transaction_date',
                    'sortLinkOptions' => [
                        'data-method' => 'post',
                        'href' => '#',
                        'onclick' => 'jQuery(\'#'.Html::getInputId($searchModel, $dataProvider->getSort()->sortParam).'\').val(jQuery(this).data(\'sort\')).closest(\'form\').submit();'
                    ],
                ],
...

Search form:

...
<?php echo Html::hiddenInput(Html::getInputName($model, $dataProvider->getSort()->sortParam), '', ['id' => Html::getInputId($model, $dataProvider->getSort()->sortParam)]); ?>
...

I'm afraid something similar will be nesessary to make pagination and forms with method post work together.

I don't think we will support this by default. The params property is here for you to assign the POST or other type of inputs.

????

$request->getQueryParams()

[qiangxue]

[
    'params' => $request->post(),
]

Ok then, even it is not so obvious at first glance.

But at list

$url = isset($options['href']) ? $options['href'] : $this->createUrl($attribute);

could be implemented in \common\overyii\data\Sort::link().

[qiangxue]

Not quite sure. Why would you provide href in the first place? What is the difference between # and a URL in your example?

[SDKiller]

Take a look at yii.js handleAction() for example.

var action = $e.attr('href');

But as I dig into the GridView - assigning href # and preserving another attributes for sort link is not a trivial case - actually its easier to assign everything manually in label because of construct of \common\overyii\data\Sort::link
