Count all record in table in yii2 without where clause

Question

I want to count all record from table without specify any condition :

now, i am doing by this way

$result['cms'] = Cms::find()->where([])->count();

and it will give me result,but i don't want to use where clause.

So how to count all records without where clause.

Thank you

Solution

You can see this doc http://www.yiiframework.com/doc-2.0/yii-db-activequery.html

simply using

count(): returns the result of a COUNT query.

Cms::find()->count();

all(): returns an array of rows with each row being an associative array of name-value pairs.

Cms::find()->all();
