This class extends CodeIgniter model class to provide more features.

The MY_Model class extends CodeIgniter model class. Model classes should extend the MY_model to define properties of each model class like the table, primary key, fields, foreign key, relationships with other models like has_many, has_one, belongs_to, etc..

The class can perform ORM operations like get one or all objects of the model class or those that match a criteria, get paginated lists of objects, get objects defined by relationships, perform CRUD operations (list, add, update and delete objects), etc..

CodeIgniter Model Class

CodeIgniter Model is an extended class for CI_Model, it will help you to :

  • CRUD operations.
  • Auto-save for multilang tables.
  • Fetch data using associations like oneToMany, ManyToOne
  • Apply filters to results
  • Pagination...

Installation

CodeIgniter Versoin >= 2.x.x

Copy the file MY_Model.php to the application/core/ folder.

Usage

Create a Model that extends from MY_Model and set the variables :

protected $table = 'my_table';

protected $identifier = 'id_my_table';

protected $foreign_key = 'my_table_id';

protected $fields = array(
    'field_1',
    'field_2',
);

Example

Assuming that we have 2 tables advertisement and category, each advertisement belongs to a category, so a category can have one or many advertisements, which means our tables may look like this :

NOTES : - The category table has multilang fields so we're gonna put them in category_lang table - {table}_lang must respect the recommended structure

----------------------- | category | ----------------------- | id_category (int) | | parent (int) | | created_at (datetime) | | updated_at (datetime) | ----------------------- ----------------------- | category_lang | ----------------------- | category_id (int) | | lang_id (int) | | title (varchar) | | description (varchar) | ----------------------- ----------------------- | advert | ----------------------- | id_advert (int) | | category_id (int) | | title (int) | | description (int) | | deleted (tinyInt) | | created_at (datetime) | | updated_at (datetime) | -----------------------

Fetch records

After that, you can call the Model within your controller for instance like following :

// Fetch all records
$this->load->model('New_model');
$records = $this->New_model->get_all();
var_dump($records);

// Return record with id=10
$record = $this->New_model->get(10);
var_dump($record);

Fetch records with criteria

// You can also add some criteria like following :
$criteria = array();
$criteria[] = array('title', 'like', 'test');
$criteria[] = array('id_my_table', '=', 10);

$result = $this->New_model->get_all($criteria);
                
var_dump($result);

Fetch record with association

$result = $this->Advert_model
                ->with('category')
                ->order_by('created_at', 'DESC')
                ->get_all($criteria);
                
var_dump($result);

$result = $this->Category_model
                ->with('advert')
                ->get_all();
                
var_dump($result);

Fetch records with multiple associations

$result = $this->Advert_model
                ->with('category')
                ->with('alias_2')
                ->with('alias_3')
                ->order_by('created_at', 'DESC')
                ->get_all($criteria);
                
var_dump($result);

Fetch records with filter on the associations

$filter = array();
$filter[] = array('lang_id', '=', 2);
$result = $this->Advert_model
                ->with('category', $filter)
                ->with('alias_2')
                ->with('alias_3')
                ->order_by('created_at', 'DESC')
                ->get_all($criteria);
                
var_dump($result);

Fetch records with pagination

$page = 1;
$total_items_per_page = 100;
$records = $this->Advert_model
                ->limit($total_items_per_page, $page)
                ->order_by('created_at', 'DESC')
                ->get_all($criteria);

$total_records = $this->Advert_model->count_all_results();
var_dump($records);

Add new record

$data = array(
  'title' => 'New Advertisement',
  'description' => 'New Advertisement',
  'deleted' => 0,
  'category_id' => 23,
);
$this->Advert_model->save($data);

Update record

$id_record = 10;
$data = array(
  'title' => 'Update Advertisement',
  'description' => 'Update Advertisement',
  'deleted' => 0,
  'category_id' => 23,
);
$this->Advert_model->save($data, $id_record);

Delete record

$id_record = 10;
$this->Advert_model->delete($id_record);

Check if a record exists

$exists = $this->Advert_model->exists('id_advert', 10);

// $exists = true : if the record exists, and false if not

// Check if an email address exists but the user id must NOT be mine 
$exclude_condition = array('id_user' => $this->logged_user->get_id());
$exists = $this->User_model->exists('email', 'example@email.com', $exclude_condition);
