Returns the value of the specified attribute name or expression.

For an attribute expression like `[0]dates[0]`, this method will return the value of `$model->dates[0]`.
See [[getAttributeName()]] for more details about attribute expression.

If an attribute value is an instance of [[ActiveRecordInterface]] or an array of such instances,
the primary value(s) of the AR instance(s) will be returned instead.

@param Model $model the model object
@param string $attribute the attribute name or expression
@return string|array the corresponding attribute value
@throws InvalidArgumentException if the attribute name contains non-word characters.
