In your controller you must pass all the variables that must appear in the view to the render method you call at the end of the controller:

return $this->render('viewName', [
    'dataProvider' => $dataProvider,
    // ... Other fields
]);

Or you can call compact() like this:

return $this->render('viewName', compact('dataProvider'));

Hope this helps.

Your view expects that you pass the dataProvider variable in your controller action.

So make sure you have something like this in your controller action:

return $this->render('index', [
    'dataProvider' => $dataProvider,
]);
