Can't use related model as attribute

[olegkrivtsov]

Hi, I'm trying to use your EditableColumn, but with related model's attribute:

[
      'class' => EditableColumn::class,
      'attribute' => 'image.alt',
      'url' => ['update-related-alt'],
],

Currently your code doesn't allow such use.

I fixed this as follows:

Method run():

public function run()
    {
        $model = $this->findModelOrCreate();
        $attribute = $this->getModelAttribute();

        if ($this->preProcess && is_callable($this->preProcess, true)) {
            call_user_func($this->preProcess, $model);
        }

        $model->setScenario($this->scenario);
        $value = Yii::$app->request->post('value');
        
        $attributeParts = explode('.', $attribute);
        
        $relatedModel = $model;
        foreach ($attributeParts as $attributePart) {
            $relatedModel = $relatedModel->$attributePart;
        }
        
        $relatedModel = $value;
        
        if ($model->validate([$attribute])) {
            return $model->save(false);
        } else {
            throw new BadRequestHttpException($model->getFirstError($attribute));
        }
    }

And the method getModelAttribute():

    private function getModelAttribute()
    {
        $attribute = Yii::$app->request->post('name');

        /*if (strpos($attribute, '.')) {
            $attributeParts = explode('.', $attribute);
            $attribute = array_pop($attributeParts);
        }*/

        if ($attribute === null) {
            throw new BadRequestHttpException('Attribute cannot be empty.');
        }

        return $attribute;
    }

Hi, I figured out that this is fixed in dev-master, but not in any stable release. Maybe you add a new release to Composer?
