Yii2 renderAjax nested Listview

Question

I am trying to display a listview using ajax, but it gives me the following error:

Exception (Invalid Configuration) 'yii\base\InvalidConfigException' with message &#039
;The "dataProvider" property must be set.

Controller:

public function actionLoadListviewAjax()
{
     $dataProvider = // call to a function which returns ArrayDataProvider
     return $this->renderAjax('myview', [ 'dataProvider' => $dataProvider ]);
}

View:

echo ListView::widget([
        'dataProvider' => $dataProvider,
        'itemView'     => 'items',
        'options' => ['class' => 'list-view-post'],
        'summary' => '',
        'emptyText' => '', 
    ]);

$ dataProvder:

<pre>yii\data\ArrayDataProvider Object
(
    [key] => 
    [allModels] => Array
        (
            [0] => Array
                (
                    [RecommendationCategory] => 
                    [ID] => 37
                    [GUID] => 
                    [Title] => test
                    [WallPostTypeID] => 1
                    [RecommendationCategoryID] => 0
                    [CommentsJSON] => 
                    [TotalComments] => 
                    [PostedMessage] => test
                    [FirstName] => test
                    [LastName] => test
                    [ProfileImagePath] => Lighthouse.jpg
                    [AddedOn] => 2015-07-18 15:14:06
                    [ImagePath] => 
                    [CommentProfileImagePath] => 
                    [IsSubscribe] => 1
                )

        )

    [id] => 
    [_sort:yii\data\BaseDataProvider:private] => 
    [_pagination:yii\data\BaseDataProvider:private] => 
    [_keys:yii\data\BaseDataProvider:private] => 
    [_models:yii\data\BaseDataProvider:private] => 
    [_totalCount:yii\data\BaseDataProvider:private] => 
    [_events:yii\base\Component:private] => Array
        (
        )

    [_behaviors:yii\base\Component:private] => 
)

I tried renderPartial too, but still the same error. Any ideas why this gives liberation?

Update:

In my itemView file, itemsI have another list for which it provides an exception.

In fact, the list view item does not have access to external variables that were sent through the widget. however, if you need to use a variable $dataProviderin your internal view file, try using callable to display items in your list view.

- :

`` `

echo ListView::widget([
    'dataProvider' => $dataProvider,
    'itemView'     => function ($model, $key, $index, $widget) {
        return $this->renderAjax('items', [
            'dataProvider' => $widget->dataProvider,
        ]);
    },
    'options' => ['class' => 'list-view-post'],
    'summary' => '',
    'emptyText' => '', 
]);
