README

This is Hierarchical model–view–controller (HMVC) project starter using CodeIgniter4 framework. By HMVC architecture, I hope we could make scalable web application.

Prerequisites

1. PHP 7.2 or above
2. Composer version 1.10 or above
3. intl PHP extension (for formatting currency, number and date/time, see CodeIgniter4 Docs )
4. xdebug PHP extension (for testing purpose only, optional)
5. php_sqlite3 PHP extension (for testing purpose only, very optional)

How to use

1. Run composer create-project mufidjamaluddin/codeigniter4-hmvc your_project, to create your project based on this boilerplate.
2. Configure the app by change the env file.
3. Run php spark serve for run the app.

Make new module

Tutorial

1. Update the spark files

composer update
cp vendor/codeigniter4/framework/public/index.php public/index.php
cp vendor/codeigniter4/framework/spark .

1. Call the php spark module command, then input a module, controller, and model name (Automatically configure a routes modules).

2. Run composer test for run your test cases (optional, see CodeIgniter4 Docs or PHPUnit Docs )

3. Run in the browser by php spark serve command

Screenshot Example

Notes

Always run php spark route:update after create or change module, controller, or controller methods directly without php spark module command except if you want to configure module route manually.

Command Prompt

Command module, controller, and model creation

The easiest way to create a controller (required) and a model inside a module. Create a module or a model if it doesn't exist.

Usage: Call the php spark module command, then input a module, controller, and model name.

Command route:update parameter

Parameters: '-n' = Set module namespace (default App\Modules) '-i' = Set route with /index path without parameter (true/false, default true) '-m' = Set route one module name to be create/update (app/Modules/YourModuleName) '-f' = Set module folder inside app path (default Modules)

Usage command php spark route:update -i false -m YourModule

Command module:create parameter

Example php spark module:create invoice

First parameter (invoice) is your new module.

PHPUnit

You can run all of your test cases by run composer test

Other Command

You can get all command prompt list by run php spark list and composer command in composer.json > scripts.

HMVC Structure

Default Structure

By default, there is the structure of Codeigniter4-HMVC.

app
   \Modules
       \{YourModule}
            \Config
                Routes.php
            \Controllers
                BaseController.php
                {YourController}.php
            \Models
                {YourModel}.php
    \Views
        \template
            {YourTemplate}.php
        \{your view module folder}
            {Your View}.php
    ...
    
    \tests
        \unit
            ...
        \integration
            \Modules
                \{YourModule}
                    {YourController}.php
        ...

Custom Structure

You can structuring your module freely, because CodeIgniter4 use PSR4. If you want to change the structure of Routes.php in Config Module folder or the structure of Module Controllers, you must change app/Config/Routes.php in HMVC Routing section and modify RouteUpdate.php & Module.php in app/Commands folder.
